Logo text This year has been frightfully good for Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Scream and Hellraiser), originals ( Men, Deadstream and The Menu), adaptations ( The Black Phone, Bones and All) new takes on classic monsters ( The Cursed, The Invitation) contemporary culture commentaries from more emerging voices in the genre ( Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, Nanny, Umma and Watcher) and star-led vehicles like Beast and Day Shift, there was truly something for every horror fan.

Trends included the continued re-emergence of slasher movies, a renewed focused on romance in horror films, perhaps making up for the decrease in interest in rom-coms and romance dramas, and horror-comedies finding their footing.
