The year in horror, 2024

Justice Smith and Brigette Lundy-Paine in the glow in Jane Schoenbrun’s ‘I Saw the TV Glow.’

It’s our annual Halloween special, a look at the year in horror!

We dive into the economic- and artistic wherewithal of the genre surrounded by a larger Hollywood in flux, with particular looks at breakouts like Osgood Perkins’ Longlegs, Jane Schoenbrun’s I Saw the TV Glow, Damien Leone’s Terrifier 3, and maybe the most divisive movie of the year, Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance.

Plus, for its 25th anniversary, an appreciation of The Sixth Sense and the long shadow its twist ending still seems to cast over the career of filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan.

  • Miriam Balanescu: A culture writer and editor
  • Tim Grierson: Senior U.S. critic for Screen Daily, the author of This Is How You Make a Movie, and co-host of the Grierson & Leitch podcast
  • Lindsay Lee Wallace: Writes about culture, health care and health equity, and other stuff, too
