Tomorrow, January 11th, marks the 30th anniversary of the New World Pictures film, Warlock. For many of you, you may be thinking, what the hell is that? And I don’t blame you. Warlock is by no means a traditional “great” horror film, but it is what I would call a B-horror classic, as it is the sort of witch’s brew blending cheesy writing and fun practical FX to form an entertaining concoction that we just don’t see enough of these days…

If you look closely, there has been one hell of an impressive shift in the horror genre, one that’s long overdue: While the genre has starred and celebrated women for a long time, fans are finally getting films that don’t just feature women, but are ABOUT women.

In the past year or so, it seems as if this classic type of horror flick, one of my favorites, has made a huge comeback, with various anthologies such as Holidays, All the Creatures Were Stirring, and others roaring onto screens to give viewers a mixed bag of terror.
