‘Weapons’: An endorphin rush of fear
Horror has an elasticity to it that other genres don’t come close to achieving. Just in 2025, for example, we’ve had some of the best new horror releases of the century and to describe them is to examine how dissimilar and expansive they are as pieces of writing and visual art.

Grinch fails to dim Healdsburg Christmas
