‘Scream VI’ is a Great Sequel for the Trilogy We Deserved

Scream VI is one of the best sequels in this beloved franchise. It’s dangerous the entire runtime in a way the series hasn’t truly been since Scream 2 (it also shares a few other parallels with that sequel). It also continues to build upon the foundation laid down by Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson almost 30 years ago. However, it […]

The Italian Influence // How Giallo Inspired Modern Horror Aesthetics

To any Italian, or more broadly, to any Italian speaker, the name giallo either brings to mind the bright, sunny color yellow, or any detective story, whether it’s written, filmed or performed. This is because in 1929, the famous printing company Mondadori decided to release detective stories, like the ones written by Agatha Christie or
