Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, 30 Days of Night: Dark Days, Night of the Demons and Stan Helsing, Diora Baird has brought a level of sex appeal to the horror genre that’s off the charts. But let’s not forget about the increasingly sexy Eliza Dushku, who has starred in Wrong Turn, Open Graves, The Alphabet Killer and Soul Survivors , alongside both TV series “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Dollhouse”. The two bombshells have just completed a long journey to the FINALS of our Piranha 3D (now on DVD/Blu-ray) sponsored “Hottest Horror Babes” playoffs. So the time has finally come for you, dear Bloody Disgusting readers, to get your vote on and declare horror’s hottest babe! READ MORE
There really is no more effective form of movie advertising than the trailer, and putting a good one together probably isn’t as easy as it looks. In a mere two minutes the studio must boil down the film’s basic premise and provide audiences with enough visual and aural flash to compel them to cough up their hard-earned money to see it. With the barrage of movie trailers we see every year very few manage to get it quite right, but those that do are often more compelling than the movies themselves. To commemorate the year in film advertising, B-D’s Chris Eggertsen has sifted through the trailers released in 2010 to put together his list of the ten best – the truly memorable horror spots that made us sit up and take notice.

Since I watch an ungodly amount of horror (around 275 films viewed and reviewed so far in 2010), the bulk of which is DVD/Blu-rays, I opted to put together a list of the best films that had disc releases this year.
