Whew, it has been quite some time since I thought about Rage....

27) The Guest

Arguably not horror? Look, it takes place around Halloween and stars Maika Monroe. That's horror enough for me!

Dan Stevens turns in a killer performance as a young man returning from Iraq and staying briefly with the family of a fellow soldier. This one takes some TURNS. Super fun.

25/26) There Existed An Addiction To Blood
and
Visions of Bodies Being Burned

These brutal albums from rap group clipping are masterpieces of horrorcore. Metallic, heavy, percussive production and Daveed Diggs' usual lyrical skill turned to dark focus push the genre forward in extraordinary ways.

24) The Sexy Brutale

A murder mystery set in a casino-mansion nightmare staffed by bloodthirsty masked goons. You and the other victims are stuck in a time loop endlessly reliving your deaths, until a woman made entirely of blood (?) jostles you free and allows you to begin interfering with events.

23) Anything For Jackson

I'm generally not into exorcism movies, but this works for me by being a total inversion of the genre while getting a ton of mileage out of its tropes. Sheila McCarthy and Julian Richings are excellent, managing to bring pathos to characters doing a truly monstrous thing.

22) They Look Like People

Two old friends struggle with their perceptions of what it means to be a man in the modern day, one somewhat more than the other. This is the film that brought me back to horror movies after many encounters with jump scare garbage convinced me that they weren't for me.

21) His Face All Red

Something monstrous occurs in the woods. This one is free to read and pretty short, so instead of me pitching it I'll just say you can go and read it right now at emcarroll.com/comics/facea...

20) We're All Going To The World's Fair

You might already be familiar with I Saw The TV Glow, but don't miss Jane Schoenbrun's previous work. Its powerful depiction of depersonalization and that kind of searching loneliness-in-community feeling peculiar to the internet era unbalanced me for days.

19) The Old Dark House

A pre-Code classic that's definitely not just on here because I'm self-conscious about how many of my recommendations are from the past ten years. I don't always gel with older horror movies for a number of reasons, but this one earns every bit of its reputation and status.

I've never quite been able to put into words what it is that I love so much about Hellboy and his strange almost-adventure-serial universe, but it has always struck deep into my heart. I'm just a sucker for things like pulp hero Lobster Johnson shouting "HERE IS THE CLAW!" as he machineguns Nazis.

18) Hellboy: The Chained Coffin and Others

Take this as a recommendation of all of Hellboy, really, but for the unfamiliar looking to get started this is the collection I always recommend first. It's got great grumping, hunting, and punching, and my favorite HB story (the Wolves of St. August).

17) Mom And Dad

A thrashy little horror-comedy about every parent suddenly being overwhelmed by the desire to murder their own offspring. Featuring excellent work from Selma Blair and Nic Cage (in one of his hugest performances) as the primary pair of parents, it's fast and brutal fun.
