“To paraphrase Pauline Kael, the movies are so rarely great art that if we cannot appreciate great trash, there is no reason to go. I'd draw a distinction, however, between the classic horror genre, which has produced masterpieces from NOSFERATUto SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, and the Dead Teenager Movie, which I define as a movie that starts out with a lot of teenagers, and kills them all, except one to populate the sequel.” —Roger Ebert

For the month of October, we're celebrating Halloween the only way we know how: by watching a whole bunch of horror movies! Specifically, this October, we're taking a look at a small piece of horror film history by diving into the post-SCREAM teen horror revival of the late 90s and early 00s!

For our fifth and final week of this series, we're taking a look at the film that may very well have been the nail in the coffin for the genre, 2001's VALENTINE.

How did VALENTINEmake the huge changes from the source material (a novel, published in 1996) to the final film that hit screens? We'll go over all the dirty details on this week's episode!
