Welcome to the Horror Movie Syllabus, where we explore all of the essential, must-see, important, noteworthy and notorious horror movies from 1970 to the present (with a couple of notable pre-1970 exceptions). Each video will explore three films in a particular sub-genre, along with some "extra credit" suggestions. New horror fans will learn what movies they should add to their "must-watch" list, while seasoned horror veterans can try to guess what movies will make the Syllabus and even suggest their own Syllabus entries. Ultimately, we are forging a community of horror fans discussing and debating the most discussion-worthy movies of the last half century.
