Today, we're diving into perhaps the most enduring horror trope: the “teenagers camping in the woods” genre, a setup that begins with ordinary characters and quickly descends into terror and survival.
This genre arguably gained its iconic standi ..read more

It was purely a suburban bourgeois phenomenon. It wasn’t designed to build any sort of movement. It was created merely to tear it down society at large. With the ethos of “No Future” brought forth by the Sex Pistols, hardcore punk was walking in the door with the blueprint for aural ch ..read more
