Remember When Nine Inch Nails Mastermind Trent Reznor Wanted to Create a TV Series?
Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor first teased us with the idea of making a TV mini-series about his album, Year Zero, as far back as 2008. The album concept of exploring the world after a nuclear war between the United States and Iran gained popularity and attracted the likes of frequend NIN collaborator David Fincher and even head honchos over at HBO and BBC. There was even confirmation by Reznor himself that a Year Zero series was in the development stages at HBO and BBC, but even that update was 10 years ago.

Horror on the Small Screen: The Best TV Horror Villains
Similar to film, television horror depends on a few key formulas. Not only do you need to have high stakes and stunning visuals to keep an audience interested, but you need a menacing villain to hold it together. It also gives you something to be scared of or be angry about for weeks to come.

10 Horror Villains Who Have Emerged Since the Birth of the Millennium
While it can be argued that a lot of horror offerings since the year 2000 have been sub-par or have been reboots/remakes of classic horror stories, there have been a decent amount of villains that have really demonstrated how the film industry has changed the genre. Although not all of the villains we've been introduced to could be considered "original," we can all agree that the portrayal of them over the past 20 years in film and television has definitely given villains a resurgence and given audiences something to love or hate. They also give us a promising look forward into the future of the horror genre.

Which Film Swallows Your Soul? Comparing 'The Evil Dead' to 'Evil Dead II'
Sam Raimi first introduced us to the Necronomicon and the Deadites with The Evil Dead back in 1981. Starring pop culture icon Bruce Campbell at the ripe age of 23, the story about five friends being confronted with an ancient evil eventually rose to become a cult classic and is beloved by horror fans everywhere. The film features impressive practical effects for an independent film and it has a rather scary premise when you sit down and think about it. I mean, a story that includes being assaulted by trees if you try to leave the woods is very unsettling. While we see Ash rise to the role of the lone survivor and hero, he isn't really the Ash that we recognize and love today. In this adaptation, he is a rather sensitive young man struggling to save his friends and destroy the evil that has manifested itself into his sister.
