A Year In Horror

Yes, Yes, Yes. This is another one of the big hitter episodes that I planned out before even episode 1 of A Year In Horror. I get to watch every single Wes Craven directed movie and then rank them from worst to best. That's right, EVERY ONE! Well, here we have the top 10. The worst 5. A slew of also rans. Some awesome mates. Some special guests. Several pints of beer and over 5 hours of running time split over 4 episodes. This is Wes Craven, A Lifetime In Horror.

FANTASIA FEST

Here we go. Today we visit the world of hip hop on A Year In Horror. Yes! Welcome to the mad minds of Californian experimental beat fiends Clipping. Their latest album is entitled 'Dead Chanel Sky' on Sub Pop. This is what it's all about. Today we speak with Jonathan Snipes about his music, his history with horror and of course the reinvention of franchise horror that was Candyman.

It's time for one of those huge episodes. Well, it's a three parter anyways. 1970 was, I would say a less than average  year for horror movies. But those top slots are so strong it's unreal. But, what do I think was the very greatest horror movie that came out during 1970? Well, here we have the top 5. The worst 10. A slew of also rans, a few J&B whiskey's and a 4 hour running time. This is 1970, A Year In Horror. 

It's a pretty long journey this one, part 1 of 3 in fact. I am going to give you the time codes below so if you don't want spoilers then, please, avert your eyes.
