Shhhhhh dew you want to be sueeed?


Modern horror for me starts with TCM and peaked with Re-Aminator and Return of the Living Dead.... and the shit inbetween is dope (take your pick Maniac/Phantasm/Evil Dead/The Burning/The Prowler + whatever) Its discussed pretty well in Chas Balun's Horror Holocaust.

But fuck yeh The Shining is a mean piece of cinema. It influenced the pychologial thriller deal more than straight up horror for me.
