Welcome to the scariest and smartest Horror site of them all!
Designed by three horror-loving Concordia Graduate students, this website aims to be a helpful starting point to anyone interested in learning more about the frightening and fantastical world of horror cinema.
The site features six horror genres for visitors to browse which include: Found Footage, Occult, Remake, Slasher, Vampire and Zombie. Each page provides information on 10 influential films to the genre, which consists of plot summary information, production details, critical reception, trailers, clips, and very often, the entire film. Limiting ourselves to only 10 films, each film is chosen on their unique contributions that helped transform and shape the genre. However, do beware as the information may reveal the ending. Proceed only if you dare!
The Director Page is composed of individual profiles of 25 of the genres most prolific filmmakers. Click on a name to learn more about the individuals that have kept you up at night for years!
From Carroll to Clover and Freud to Creed our Film Theory, Books and Articles and Website pages will keep you on the edge of your academic chairs. Click on the link for the citation and proceed with caution to your nearest library.
Please note that this website is an ongoing project. The films, directors and resource material that appear on the site are not meant to be all encompassing, but simply a cross-section of various materials that can be helpful for anyone interested in preliminary research in horror cinema. Hopefully this site will enable any interested horror fan (or not so interested) to learn about the many facets of the horror genre and to discover a newfound appreciation for the movies that make us afraid to turn off the lights.
