We rundown 3 lists- Best 6 of 2023, Worst 6 of 2023, and Top 6 "new to me" horror movies. It was an unpredictable and at times frustrating year for horror and we deep dive into as many films and themes as possible. We offer a State of the Genre Address for the coming year, check in on notable franchises, and highlight some of the biggest and smallest horror movies released. We also discuss Mumford and Sons, Eminem, and Adele.
