Following a global pandemic, movie theaters were still struggling to pack in audiences but two genres — along with Tom Cruise flying a jet — proved resilient in the face of falling box office numbers — superhero movies and horror films. 

Week after week, critics were stunned at the staggering returns on horror films at the box office including a feature called “Smile” that wasn’t even supposed to earn a theatrical release yet it went onto gross more than $216 million worldwide to make it the highest earning horror film of the year. 

2022 was also the year that Jordan Peele searched for aliens, Mia Goth introduced us to Maxine and then eventually to Pearl, Art the Clown sent audience members screaming from their seats, Ralph Fiennes served up a deliciously wicked four course meal, Ghostface returned and Amber Midthunder reminded us all how fight off a Predator. All in all, it was a great year to be a horror fan.

In the latest episode of Rewind of the Living Dead, we present our special year end extravaganza as we reveal our top horror films and best horror moments for 2022…
