“A proper artist with a razor.” Arguably the oldest slasher on this list, Sweeney Todd may not immediately come to mind when talking about slashers and slasher films, but he definitely fits the bill.

Throwback Thursday: Edward Scissorhands (1990)
“People are scared of things that are different.” Tim Burton is one of my favorite creators. He’s an amazing director, writer, animator, and artist and I love his unique style.

Inspired by Washington Irving With direction by Tim Burton, music by Danny Elfman, gorgeous sets, and an amazing cast, it’s easy to see why 1999’s Sleepy Hollow is one of my favorite films. I watch it multiple times each year (especially around Halloween and, for some odd reason, Christmas) and I never get tired ofContinue reading “Heads Rolled On Day O’Horror #10!”
