Another edition of Gauntlet/Board 8 Ranks down in the books; that means, of course, it's time to start up the next one! This will be my first hosting gig since I ran 1990s Horror which was almost three years ago at this point. Even though I missed the past few rankings due to time constraints, I'm excited to be back and even more excited to again be hosting a project of which I have endless amounts of passion for.

The theme is 2010s Horror Movies; I have personally curated 30 of the most popular & influential horror movies of the past decade that offered us frightening intrigue & terrifying mystery through an often tumultuous & uncertain decade. When viewed in a vacuum, the transition of horror from the 2000s into 2010s almost seems to happen overnight. The jingoistic anxieties inherent in torture porn, overly pumped out horror reboots and remakes, and self-serious violent grit transformed itself into something more introspective, quiet, and smart whilst simultaneously retaining a broad appeal. Horror movies became surprise blockbusters by sticking close to what scares audiences while adding a touch of comic book style interconnectivity and hype; horror satires veered between gore & comedy while providing much needed critical assessment to the genre; dramas cross-sected with horror giving a critical prestige rarely seen in decades prior; and internet culture and streaming spread the messages of these movies like wildfire while taking cues from new genres of horror such as the Creepypasta or online ARGs. The 2010s in horror analyzed our relationships to nostalgia, our ever-increasing distance from each other, our technology, our love, our bodies, & our societal problems in more intimate ways than ever before.

If you ask me, it's undeniably a great decade in horror. But it's not just up to me, that's up for our wonderful rankers to decide! Did these movies resonate and scare the way they were meant to? Or did they just collapse and fall with an underwhelming "thud" stock horror sound effect?

For now, lists will be due May 8, 2022. You can email lists to [email protected], or if you prefer, send me a link to a Letterboxd ranking with write-ups included. Make sure in your email title your username and 2010s Horror is included somewhere so I can find it easy. If you're interested in participating, let me know in this topic. I've tagged some people who either participated in the previous list or expressed interest.

I hope that's everything, now:
