Paste's ABCs OF HORROR: A thread.

"A" is for ALICE, SWEET ALICE (1976) -- A creepy early slasher infused with Catholic mysticism. #horrormovies #halloween #Halloween2020 https://www.pastemagazine.com/movies/horror-movies/alice-sweet-alice-1976-slasher-movie-review/

Alice, Sweet Alice is a potent, genuinely disturbing slasher steeped in Catholic mysticism and dogma.

"B" is for THE BURNING (1981) -- One of the true classics of the Golden Age of Slasher Movies, featuring the classic summer camp setting and a villain for the ages. #horrormovies #halloween #halloween2020 https://www.pastemagazine.com/movies/horror-movies/the-burning-1981-review-slasher-classic-camp/

There are a lot of famous summer camp slasher movies, but outside of Friday the 13th, none of the others can quite measure up to The Burning.

"C" is for THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1957) -- Peter Cushing became a horror icon in Hammer's classic, color re-telling of the Frankenstein story, making the doctor himself into the true monster, rather than his creation. #horrormovies #halloween #scary https://www.pastemagazine.com/movies/horror-movies/curse-of-frankenstein-1957-peter-cushing-christopher-lee-review/

Peter Cushing's portrayal of the caddish Dr. Frankenstein makes it clear it's the man, not the creature, who is the monster here.

"D" is for DAY OF THE DEAD (1985) -- Maybe the greatest zombie film from the greatest year in the history of zombie fiction, Romero's third living dead epic is his darkest, most cynical critique of human nature. #zombies #horrormovies #halloween https://www.pastemagazine.com/movies/horror-movies/day-of-the-dead-1985-review-zombies-george-romero/

The darkest and most crushing of George Romero's original zombie series is a powerful argument that absolute power will corrupt absolutely.

"E" is for EVENT HORIZON (1997) -- Sam Neill and Laurence Fishburne descend into hell within the rotting hulk of a giant spaceship in this ever-underrated sci-fi horror fusion. #horrormovies #halloween #Halloween2020 https://www.pastemagazine.com/movies/horror-movies/event-horizon-1997-review-tv-series-underrated/

A fusion of spacefaring sci-fi and Lovecraftian haunted house vibes, Event Horizon had imagination to spare but is still underrated today.
