Last 10 years... hmmm.
  1. Halloween (24)
  2. 25 Years of Monsters & Mayhem (25)
  3. Poltergeist (28)
  4. Nightingales: Blood Prey (21)
  5. Universal Classic Monsters (29)
  6. An American Werewolf in London (23)
  7. Gothic (22)
  8. Body Collectors: Recollections (25)
  9. The In-Between (21)
  10. Evil Dead (23)
My top 4 are locked in. 5 through 10 are fairly interchangeable.


Scare zones.... it wouldn't be fair for me to list ten, as I haven't really enjoyed ten zones over the last 10 years. I'll do my top-5.
  1. Icons (25)
  2. Fear Revealed (20)
  3. 20 Years of Fear (20)
  4. All Nite Die-In: Double Feature (25)
  5. Hellbilly Deluxe (29)

And for shows, don't sleep on Death Drums (21).

Let's spark some controversy...
Because I'm a jerk, here are ten houses over the past ten years that I feel the majority overrates. These weren't necessarily poor haunted houses, I just don't think they deserve the hype they receive(d):

  • Slaughter Sinema (28)
  • Saws n' Steam (21)
  • Winter's Night (21)
  • Texas Chainsaw Massacre (26)
  • Krampus (26)
  • Catacombs (20)
  • Dollhouse of the Damned (24)
  • Seeds of Extinction (28)
  • Graveyard Games (29)
  • Scarecrow (27)

And in the other direction, here are five houses that I feel are underrated by the majority:
  • Evil Dead (23)
  • Horrors of Blumhouse (27)
  • Universal's House of Horrors (22)
  • Giggles & Gore (24)
  • From Dusk 'til Dawn (24)
 
This is fun.



Is the spaceship the NSO Columbus from Interstellar Terror? I vaguely remember there being a drawing of the ship inside the house, but can't 100% recall if that's what it looked like.

Who's the person in the tomb? It kind of looks like Norman Bates, but with clown pants?

From top-to-bottom + left-to-right -- I see Troupe Macabre (17), Vamp '85 (28), Scary Tales 3 (18), Dungeon of Terror (1), Chainsaw Drill Team?, Legendary Truth (20), Anarch-ade (29), Krampus (26), Dead Man's Wharf (26), Scary Tales: DEA (28), Vamp '55 (26), Vikings Undead (29), Yeti (29), The Iniquitus? (22?), Vanity Ball (29).

What did I get wrong? Am I missing any?

I think the guy in the tomb is Boris Schuster (detective hat and he’s in black and white), which would be Dead Exposure.

We're going to be locking this baby up soon, as I'm not sure whether or not Universal will be sharing any last-minute looks at the past as we wrap up Halloween this week.
