Resident Evil may have popularized Survival Horror as a genre, but Silent Hill really cemented these games as vehicles for legitimately chilling narratives. Over the years, the franchise has churned out some of the most recognizable imagery in gaming despite being unfairly neglected by Konami and not seeing a mainline entry for over a decade. While Silent Hill titles have always been lauded for their impeccable visuals and brilliant sound design (not to mention those kick-ass soundtracks), what made these games truly scary was their narrative consistency and attention to...

Psycho is given a great deal of credit for redefining the direction American horror would take in the 1960s, and rightly so, but another film also deserves recognition for its innovations and influence. Like Psycho, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? signaled a shift from aliens, giant bugs, and atomic monsters to the more subtle and psychological horrors hidden behind the closed doors of modern society. Rather than taking place in an isolated gothic castle, Baby Jane is set in an affluent neighborhood in the suburbs of Los Angeles and...
