    Jerry Goldsmith's score for The Omen is nothing short of pitch-perfect. How does one score a film about a man who is raising the Antichrist? If you're Jerry Goldsmith you create haunting strains that instill fear at every turn. There's nothing about The Omenthat is easy, and its score totally underpins that. This explains why Richard Donner's class...

    This 1981 horror classic features Makeup that, to this day, looks incredible. There is so much about An American Werewolf in Londonthat is perfect, one has to wonder why the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences didn't give it a Best Picture nod (or at least a nomination). John Landis's tale about a man who is attacked by werewolves and then...

    Tim Burton's take on the classic tale of the headless horseman is unique and different. Ichabod Crane (played by Johnny Depp) comes to Sleepy Hollow to investigate some grisly murders. This leads him to the trail of the headless horseman. 1999's Sleepy Hollowis a very interesting film. At times unique, bizarre, and scary all at once, it really is t...

    Okay, 2010's Black Swan is more of an art film than it is a horror film. We mean, it's about ballet for crying out loud! However, Darren Aronofsky's story of a dancer losing her mind as she plays the lead in Swan Lake is unlike any horror movie you have ever seen. There are moments we think we know what's happening. Mixed with moments where we have...

Streep tries to get a leg up using a serum that ...

    This 1931 gem Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde sees Frederic March playing the title role of both characters. So it should come as a surprise to nobody that he took home the Best Actor Oscar. The Academy must've really loved the way March embodied both characters so totally. This long-told story of Dr. Jekyllallowing his dark side, Mr. Hyde, to run amok is ...

    The Best Makeup award certainly belonged to Beetlejuice in 1988. At the same time, there is something so special about Michael Keaton's performance in the starring role, it's hard not to figure out how he didn't win Best Actor! The fact that he wasn't nominated probably had something to do with it. Beetlejuiceis a whimsical story about a guy who he...

    Starring such luminaries as Bette Davis and Joan Crawford What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? is a giant among the horror movie set.

The costumes throughout What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?are really...

    Anybody who has ever feared being bound to a bed and mutilated has to be scared to death of Kathy Bates. In the 1990 Misery,she really elevated the fangirl persona to another level. Taking in the writer (James Caan) of her favorite books, Bates truly goes overboard when he kills off her favorite character. There aren't many locks with the Academy A...

    1986'sThe Fly is one of those movies you rewatch because of the effects. Sure, David Cronenberg has put together an imminently rewatchable story.

From ...
