They have a wide variety of reviews, from Friday the 13th to Doom Asylum. Not only are they good reviews, but at the bottom of the review they rate the amount of gore and nudity on a scale of 1-4, so you know whether or not you're getting into a kiddie flick or a potential soft-core porno, or whether you're getting into a tame film relying on scares, or a an all-out bloodbath. Pictures, plot details, and inght make up the majority of the clever vantage points. The webte even has the occaonal interview or listing, so if you can't decide on whether or not to purchase that pricey To All A Goodnight VHS, this is your te.

http://a.images.blip.tv/Trachtenberg-picture401.jpg" class="photoborder" /> Good Bad Flicks Good Bad Flicks is a video review series dedicated to all things unknown or not respected enough. The creator, Cecil, doesn't just focus on horror films, but also does action and science fiction. Even if you aren't a fan of action and sci-fi, watching his episodes are still worthwhile due to the incredible amount of time put into them, as well as the amount of trivia and information given for each film. Plus, they're very funny! His horror reviews are top-notch, and I can't imagine not liking his videos at all. If you don't like the humor, you'll like the amount of info given. If this was a personal list, Good bad Flicks would rate very highly on it, maybe even scoring #1! You can watch the videos on YouTube, blip.tv, or check out the webte here:

http://gamersbench.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/cinemassacre.jpg" class="photoborder" /> Cinemassacre If you have not heard of James "The Angry Video Game Nerd" Rolfe, I pity your life. His Angry Video Game Nerd segments are very, very popular and very, very funny videos of an alcoholic video game nerd who reviews old and bad video games. However, Rolfe himself is an avid horror fan, and every Halloween, he does a great series of videos called "Cinemassacre's Monster Madness". For those looking for a serious minded and informational review, this isn't it. However, if you want a highly entertaining and highly humorous review of a horror/sci-fi movie, the series is one of the best. For those reviews and other fun videos, check out his webte:

Ever seen I happened to see his "Top Ten Funniest Slasher Kills", I was hooked. His Horrible Horror line of reviews focuses on (you guessed) bad horror movies, like Night of the Lepus or lent Night, Deadly Night Part 2. The reviews are all well done and entertaining, but where he really shines is in his top ten lists. He's only done two, but they're two of the best top ten's I have ever seen (mainly because they focus on slashers). While he isn't as good Good Bad Flicks or Cinemassacre, Horrible Horror is one review series you should really check out here:

Hopefully I've given you something to do for the next few days as you leaf through each person's compilation of horror reviews, whether it be in writing or a video. Either way, there are some very good ones out there that aren't just limited to these five. If you know of another reviewer that's also awesome, reply in the comments section below. Creep on.

Great article and a few webtes I already check out and a few more that will be added to the list. That is what is great about this community. It is open to everyone and all views count! Just another reason I love this genre and this webte so much!

Good list, I've known a couple, but you can bet for sure I'll be checking out the rest.

Remember this young Luke.

lol! Agreed Matt and then the rest....

Not necessarily. I read a glowingly potive review of a film and when I checked it out yesterday, I discovered it should go on the "Most Awful Horror Movies of All Time" list. Bedes that, yeah, our word is law.

Hey, I just wanted to stop in to say thanks for putting my show on the list. I appreciate all the kind words and I'm happy you dig the program. ^^

I'm a huge horror fan and low budget indie director so I have plenty more goodness headed to the channel in the coming months. :)
