While there are those who will debate when an official decade or era begins or ends, we here can confidently say that ten Earth years have indeed passed since the beginning of time, and so it will be those last ten years we talk about here.  It's a fun way to look at the genre from outside the boundaries we've set up for our week to week discussions, as well as to tweak those boundaries for the year going forward.  2020 is shaping up to be an exciting year, both in terms of the quantity and suspected quality of releases, as the landscape for entertainment has expanded to such a degree that even we lowly (as the mainstream has traditionally seen us) horror fans have such a harvest to look forward to that we'll need to keep our scythe's sharp and ready at all times.  

There was a time, believe it or not, when our hopes were simply that when October rolled around, we may get one or two new additions to our collections, with some years passing with little fanfare, but that is no longer the case.  The last ten years have seen a steady rise in the popularity of Horror as a genre both from a perspective of major theater releases down through direct to streaming releases and good old fashioned grass roots DIY creations, and the slate for 2020 shows no signs of that trend slowing.   Are you ready?  We're ready!

Cheers!
