Stephen King is a master of horror. We know this. His son Joe Hill? I think he’s well on his way of joining his father with such classic works as “Horns” and “Locke and Key”.

Both were blessed with the opportunity to see Guillermo del Toro’s next haunter, Crimson Peak, a ghost tale starring the superior Tom Hiddleston alongside Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Charlie Hunnam and Jim Beaver.

And when King and Hill give their stamp of approval, that’s when I get excited. I consider both to be an authority on horror.

While Hill loved it just as much as King, the latter called it “terrifying,” and went as far as to compare his first viewing experience to that of Sam Rami’s Evil Dead.

Was treated to a screening of Guillermo del Toro's new movie, CRIMSON PEAK, this weekend. Gorgeous and just fucking terrifying.

CRIMSON PEAK electrified me in the same way Sam Rami's EVIL DEAD electrified me when I saw it for the first time way back in the day.

Hill raves about the beauty and compares it to another classic:

Remember that list I tweeted the other day, the 13 most beautiful horror films. CRIMSON PEAK is the most beautiful of all.

CRIMSON PEAK is Del Toro's blood-soaked AGE OF INNOCENCE, a gloriously sick waltz through Daphne Du Maurier territory.

Crimson Peak, in theaters October 16, begins “In the aftermath of a family tragedy, an aspiring author is torn between love for her childhood friend and the temptation of a mysterious outsider. Trying to escape the ghosts of her past, she is swept away to a house that breathes, bleeds…and remembers.”
