🎃 They Said Horror Was Dead… But They Were WRONG. 🎃
For years, critics claimed horror had run out of ideas - drowning in lazy sequels, predictable jump scares and straight to streaming disasters. But something terrifying (and brilliant) has clawed its way back from the grave. In this video, I break down the horror renaissance that’s making the genre smarter, scarier and more creative than ever!
From “elevated horror” hits like Get Out, Hereditary and The Witch, to blockbuster comebacks like Scream, Hellraiser, and 28 Years Later, to the wild and fearless world of indie horror with Talk to Me, VIXEN, and more - horror has NEVER been more alive.
📽 What You’ll See in This Video:
• The rise (and controversy) of “elevated horror”
• How horror legends are reinventing franchises
• The indie horror wave that’s breaking all the rules
• Why the best scares aren’t just about monsters - they’re about us
👻 Whether you’re a hardcore horror fan or just dipping your toes into the blood-soaked waters, this is the ultimate breakdown of why horror is thriving right now.
