This week on The Collision, we talk about horror movies: what defines them, their past, their present, and their future. What comes after found footage movies? Are horror movies required to scare us? How have classic horror films like the Universal Monsters movies changed over the years? This all leads us into a discussion of Tim Burton‘s Frankenweenie, which proudly pays homage to classic monster movies. And as always, we finish up with our recommendations.
