If there’s been one constant over the decade, it has been the The Curator of Schlock.

Richard Stanley talked about the human visual spectrum going from ultraviolet to infrared and he felt that if something were to emerge in our space/dimension it would come in between these two. Magenta is the color between the two, so that’s what he used.

Some horror favorites from what I’ve seen of the decade, though some are mixed genre. And though I probably watch too many movies, I don’t watch all the movies and the closer we get to the present, the fewer I’m likely to have seen.

I’m probably forgetting some from the last decade, but:

Insidious (2010)
The Cabin in the Woods (2011)
Sinister (2012) – Scared me so bad I got a headache
The Conjuring (2013)
Lights Out (2016)
It (2017)
A Quiet Place (2018) – Terrifying in a dark theater with surround sound
Halloween (2018)

It was a bit of a James Wan decade, proving that you can be really scary on a small budget.

  I loved A Cabin in the Woods, which some cinephiles don’t think should count as a horror movie because it parodies horror, but man that one was fun!
