It’s been a deceptive 12 months, depending on where you get your information. Some narratives might suggest that 2020 is the year movies vanished, but I’d suggest quite the opposite by my view count. I bested my reigning new-release record in the horror genre alone by roughly thirty titles, noting how streaming and VOD dominated the genre. This made it relatively easy to assemble best-of recap lists since, well, there were so many options. Crazy to admit while theaters still have their lights switched off across the country.
Below, let’s dig into my favorite scares of the year. The freakish, the fiendish, and the forever stuck in my noggin. Horrors never subsided for a second, and what a saving grace their distractions remain. Without further keystrokes, let’s get to the goshdang point.

Anything for Jackson.
Any niche can be very inward-looking. It s as true for horror as any other genre, so when Justin G. Dyck unleased his chilly supernatural thriller
Anything for Jackson, because it was his first horror film a lot of people thought it was his first feature. It feels like my first film, the director laughed, but that s not the whole story.
Dyck has been planning to make a horror film for his entire filmmaking career, and finally fulfills that ambition with the story of a pleasant older couple - veteran character actors Sheila McCarthy and Julian Richings as Audrey and Henry Walsh - kidnapping a pregnant woman (Konstantina Mantelos). Their aim is not malevolent: they just want to use a black magic ritual to put the soul of their dead grandson into her unborn baby s body. Isn t that what any doting grandparent would do?

Matt: As 2020 nears a much-awaited close, before 2021 brings with it a newfound, maybe even hopeful landscape, let’s reflect one last time. Not at the disaster points, but the sweet little pockets that helped get us through day by day. For example! Despite titles like
Candyman and
Halloween Kills vacating a theater-shuttered year, it was still an above-average period for the horror genre. International and independent VOD-streamers released as they planned, with highlights that neither myself nor Chris want you to forget. Hell, we might as well put our distraction-watching habits to good use.
