So what makes a movie terrifying? What about frightening? There's a psychological aspect, a physical aspect, and of course a personal aspect too. Now, before you go off and say “BUT NONE OF THESE MOVIES ARE SCARY”, that might be what you think, but this is my list, and that means, these are the
Across Los Angeles every single Halloween season, there are events big and small that can capture your attention, provide frights, bring in the Halloween spirit, and then some. For the sake of this ranking, we'll only be doing the biggest ones in Los Angeles; otherwise, we'd be here all year round
I've always sung the praises of Delusion during my time covering Halloween season events. If you love things like Halloween Horror Nights or Queen Mary's Dark Harbor, this event is like going through an hour-long haunted maze, but with even more interactivity and story. You're going through a
Last year, I noted that the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride was "baby's first Halloween haunt". That wasn't supposed to be a derogatory remark about the event. There are tons of competitors in the Los Angeles Halloween field. You have to deal with Halloween Horror Nights, Six Flags Fright Fest, Knott's

In news that should provide plenty of anguish and probably a chuckle from George A. Romero if he were still with us, the mall from Dawn of the Dead is being demolished. Is it being demolished for apartments? No. What about some new development? Well kind of. The mall has been bought by Walmart and
The story of Michael Jackson is fascinating, and it's easy to see how they would make a movie out of it. From his childhood to the making of Thriller to his later career albums like Bad, and then all of the turmoil and controversy in his later life. Even his final days were littered with moments to
Sometimes the best way to access the core of a film is to let it take you over completely. Locked behind metaphorical dialogue and an obtuse artistry, the key to the door is simply letting it all in and fester inside until the understanding comes to light. You can't second-screen a film like this,
Joe Bob Briggs and Darcy the Mail Girl returned for one of their four final specials for The Last Drive-In with a creature feature meets modern horror pairing, bringing together Rawhead Rex (1986) and Oddity (2024). It is a bizarre double feature on paper, and somehow even stranger in execution.
