    [Bonus] Bride of Frankenstein (Whale, 1935) The (Studio) Monster Demands a Mate (Sequel)

    Cultists, a successful film demands a sequel, and The Monster Demands a Mate! Coming four years after the original, and largely considered the pinnacle of the Classic Era of Universal Horror, Bride of Frankenstein arrived in a very different cinematic landscape than its predecessor. Karloff was now a Horror Movie Star, director James Whale had considerably more creative control, and there was a newly established Hays Code to contend with.

    50. Se7ven (Fincher, 1995) Gwen's Head In A Box

    Cultists, it's been 30 years since David Fincher's Se7en first shocked and disturbed audiences. Blurring the line between crime thriller and psychological horror, the film remains incredibly influential to this day.

    49. Salem's Lot (Dauberman, 2024) New England Nosferatu 2 Electric Boogaloo

    Cultists, despite being somewhat underwhelmed on their first visit, your Horror Hosts are returning to the town of Salem's Lot. This episode, Gary Dauberman's 2024 adaptation of Stephen King's novel, will be going on the Exam Table. Released directly onto HBO Max and preceding Nosferatu by only a couple of months, this film may have slipped past you like it did us. It's time to rectify the oversight.

    48. Salem's Lot (Hooper, 1979) New England Nosferatu

    Cultists, continuing with the Sinners theme. Another one of the film's often cited influences was Stephen King's Salem's Lot. Adapted as a two part TV movie by Texas Chainsaw Massacre director Tobe Hooper, this Gothic Horror throwback scarred the Gen X kids that grew up with it on television, and gave us one of the '70s most iconic vampires the Nosferatu-esque Kurt Barlow.
