Welcome BACK to Macabre Madness! It’s the second year of our horror movie tournament, where 60 films in 6 genres battle to see which one is crowned the goriest, grittiest, bloodbath-iest of them all.
Never seen or heard of half the horror movies in this year’s tournament? We feel the same about the NCAA tournament. No. 3 Dayton? No 11 Creighton? Jack Frost and Lake Mungo? Who the cares, we’re gonna play anyway!
