Released 38 Years Ago, This Horror Sequel Improved the Franchise in One Major Way and Was an '80s Hit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s been said that the best movies are timeless, but when it comes to ’80s horror, some of its lasting appeal comes from its ability to transport you back to that era. Whether it’s the clothes, the hair, or the music, many of the greatest ’80s horror flicks stand as time capsules for the decade. 38 years ago, one of horror’s most beloved franchises released a sequel that would exemplify this: A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master opened in theaters on August 19th, 1988, earning nearly $

That fight was between two of horror’s biggest icons: Freddy Krueger of the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise and Jason Voorhees of Friday the 13th. Freddy vs. Jason arrived following decades of anticipation; after the crossover was first t
5 Times Superhero Movies Took Inspiration From Horror Films, Including One That Did It Better (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Superhero movies have an interesting relationship with horror. Between the MCU and DCU, some of the best directors in the superhero genre have gotten their start making horror movies. Be it Saw’s James Wan directing Aquaman, or Evil Dead director Sam Raimi’s work on the original Spider-Man trilogy, a background in horror translates surprisingly well to superheroes.
