They're unsettling simply because they exploit our fear of the unknown. They force us to ask ourselves: what is behind the villain's mask?

We've finally reached October and Halloween will be arriving sooner than you think! Along with the greatest holiday ever, there is plenty to look forward to in the Autumn months. Things like sweatshirt weather, apple cider, pumpkin spice everything, and watching as many horror movies as possible in the days leading up to October 31st.
