(Originally published on LivingCorpse.com on May 5, 2005) - It’s extremely difficult for someone to label himself (or herself) a horror fan without having any knowledge of the genre’s cinematic history. Yet, with the horror explosion Hollywood has been experiencing for the last decade, there are droves of new moviegoers gravitating to the genre like never before. And, while it’s great to know this highly underrated (and often misunderstood) genre is finally getting the kind of love it deserves, I fear that this new crop of fans are only looking toward the next big studio release, rather than spending the in-between time familiarizing themselves with horror classics.
