Since the late nineties, there has been a growing trend in the world. One that encapsulates the American dream in a nutshell, where people can achieve great fame and fortune, oftentimes by just being themselves.

We’re about halfway through the year now, so you know what that means? It’s time to take a look at the best horror films of 2018 so far! It’s been another great year for horror so far in terms of films that go against the grain of what we’re used to with fresh ideas, as well as a few that relish in the entertaining cheese of the types of films that made many of us fall in love with the genre… Greetings horror fiends!

It all began by watching John Carpenter’s Christine over and over again on VHS until the cover was as worn and beat up as the first time Arnie Cunningham sees the titular killer car. In that time, I’ve seen my fair share of horror films.
