Since 2007 when I published the first list on , many Halloweens have passed—12 to be exact. In a recent site update I noted my return from a multi-year hiatus due to numerous family deaths. Given that my own love of horror and all things creepy was what drove my desire to create the site, it seems fitting upon my return to publish a big list of horror-related lists!
So here it is: I present you with a nice long list of creepiness from across the years. You will find movies, murderers, monsters, and more. So get reading and have a happy Halloween!
