R.I.P 2021 THE YEAR IN REVIEW • It’s hard to say whether 2021 was less harrowing than 2020, or if we’ve just acclimatized ourselves to the uncertainty and chaos. One thing’s for sure – horror has not only survived but thrived, as this year proffered a wealth of fright fare. From indie surprises to big-budget blockbusters, from major networks to Shudder’s ever-growing roster of originals, from the return of familiar faces to some truly exciting debuts, we tip our hat to the creatives who helped kick off this decade with a bloody bang.
