The Best Horror Movies 2024

1. High School Horror Double Feature: Bloody Homecoming/Varsity Blood [DVD]

Two grisly teen horror movies on one disc. In Bloody Homecoming, a group of schoolmates must confront the dark secret behind the death of a student several years before at the homecoming dance. And in Varsity Blood, some jocks and cheerleaders looking for a good time at a secret party spot get slaughtered by their high school mascot.

2. Sasquatch Horror Collection [DVD]

Though never quite gaining the fame of such legendary movie monsters as the werewolf or the mummy, Sasquatch has been the subject of a fair share of horror films. This box set contains three of those films. Sasquatch, the Legend of Bigfoot, Snow Creature, and Snow Beast are each presented in the original theatrical aspect ratio. English soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Mono.

3. Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror [DVD] [2019]

From the acclaimed 2017 horror film IT, drawn from the pages of Stephen King’s original novel, NECA presents Pennywise: The Dancing Clown!

Perhaps the greatest movie ever shot in two days, Little Shop of Horrors was originally conceived as a followup to Roger Corman's black comedy A Bucket of Blood (1959). Jonathan Haze plays Seymour Krelboin, a schlemiel's schlemiel who works at the Skid Row flower shop of Mr. Mushnick (Mel Welles). Experimenting in his spare time, Seymour develops a new plant species that he hopes will lead him to fame and fortune. Unfortunately, the mutated plant -- named Audrey Junior, in honor of Seymour's girlfriend Audrey (Jackie Joseph) -- subsists on blood and human flesh. It also talks, or rather, commands: "Feed Me! FEEEEED ME!" Before long, the luckless Seymour has fed his plant the bodies of a railroad detective, a sadistic dentist, and a flashy trollop. Meanwhile, Mr. Mushnik, who has stumbled onto Seymour's secret, has inadvertently offered up a burglar (played by Charles Griffith, who also wrote the script and supplied the plant's voice) as a midnight snack for the voracious, ever-growing Audrey Junior. (When the plant blooms, the faces of its various victims are reproduced in its flowers.) Ignored on its initial release, Little Shop of Horrors began building up a cult following via repeated TV exposure in the 1960s. By the mid-1970s, it had attained classic status, spawning a big-budget Broadway musical (and followup feature film) in the 1980s and a Saturday morning cartoon series in the 1990s. Enhancing the original Little Shop's reputation was the brief appearance by star-in-the-making Jack Nicholson as a masochistic dental patient (Nicholson is often incorrectly referred to as the star of the film, though in fact he barely receives billing). Much as we love Nicholson, our vote for the most memorable Little Shop cast member goes to the ubiquitous Dick Miller ("No thanks, I'll eat it here").
