Re-run of the Repressed  (or why every franchise monster you’ve ever loved ends up as a dog on a leash …) by Philip A. Suggars

Re-run of the Repressed  (or why every franchise monster you’ve ever loved ends up as a dog on a leash …) by  Philip A. Suggars

Philip A. Suggars charts the four phase decline of horror franchise monsters, from the pure terror of Alien: Earth and Michael Myers to the merch shelf and the leash. Drawing on Freud, Robin Wood, and Mark Fisher, he asks why The Thing and It Follows stay frightening while everything else gets a Funko Pop. The domestication of horror monsters, it turns out, is exactly what the culture industry does best.

Horror Movies About Temptation: The Five Films That Know Your Sins: A Fright Club Special

Horror Movies About Temptation: The Five Films That Know Your Sins: A Fright Club Special

Horror movies about temptation are practically the whole genre in miniature, so picking five meant leaving Nosferatu and The Lure bleeding on the cutting room floor. Our countdown runs from Amat Escalante’s The Untamed to Julia Ducournau’s Raw, taking in Jennifer’s Body, Ken Russell at his most unhinged, and Al Pacino doing the devil in a power suit. Five films, five appetites, no survivors.
