30 Horror Film Innovations
From Scarytale Photography to Horror Cosmetics & Frankenstein Fashion:
Edgar Griggs — May 2, 2010 — Unique
Fear is a powerful emotion, and these horror film innovations channel both terror and iconic scary movies in a number of creative ways. From horrifying lookbooks that aim to scare the viewer (as they present the season's latest fashions, of course) to horror conventions that celebrate the likes of Jason, Freddie Krueger, Pinhead, and Chucky, there are enough horror film innovations here to keep you awake at night for a long time to come.
