The Halloween franchise's 'Choose Your Own Adventure' aspect has made it one of the most original and complex franchises in horror. While they were originally trying to keep the same continuity going forward (with the exception of Halloween III), it eventually got too convoluted and just plain crazy to keep track of. After 20 years, the team behind the films decided they needed a fresh slate. A way to reboot the franchise without losing all the groundwork they had already laid. How do you do...

THE BELIEVERS (1987) - Best Horror Movie You Never Saw

Ah, the 1980s. The decade that brought us such great things as mullets, slap bracelets, and an unwavering fear of Satanists taking over and corrupting our youth. The '80s were rife with movies that dealt with the Satanic Panic, but one that seemed to get overlooked was the dark and twisted Martin Sheen-led entry, The Believers. On this episode of THE BEST HORROR MOVIE YOU NEVER SAW, we go back to the era of decadence and show this forgotten gem some worship.

DAWN OF THE DEAD - WTF HAPPENED TO THIS HORROR MOVIE?

Dawn Of The Dead paved the way for the mainstream celebration of zombies that we have today. Though Night Of The Living Dead may have put George Andrew Romero on the map, its sequel changed the course of history in the horror genre and cemented his creation of the zombie into the pop culture zeitgeist. Like most movies, Dawn wasn't the smoothest transition from page to screen, with rewrites, funding, and the dreaded MPAA getting in the way. But while the zombie genre has raged on since...
