Recently, Bloody-Disgusting ran an interview with Jean Saiz, guitarist and vocalist of Miami, Florida stoner/noise rock band Shroud Eater. Jean was kind enough to send us a list of her Top 10 favorite horror films and I have to say that this woman knows her stuff! This is a list for lovers of some of the great classic films as well as some of the lesser known stuff. Check inside to see if your favorite is on the list!

1. The Exorcist
This classic still freaks me out. As you are about to find out, I like my horror movies on the satanic side, and it doesn’t get nastier than this. Linda Blair is insanely good – she was like 13 years old or something when this was filmed, and her performance is incredible. 
2. The Omen 
“I did it for YOU, Damien! All for you!” The story of Damien Thorn, demon-child and aspiring anti-christ. Great movie, love Gregory Peck in it. The score is fucking amazing – the latin chant is embedded permanently in my brain, “sanguis bibimus!”
3. The Shining 
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Jack Nicholson is brilliant – I can’t walk into a hotel with long hallways and not get immediate flashbacks to rivers of blood and freaky twin-sisters. I love Stanley Kubrick’s work, the surreal imagery in this one’s great, and an excellent portrayal of a man’s descent into madness.
4. Rosemary’s Baby
Another great one in the demon-child vein. A secret coven of witches in New York are waiting for Mia Farrow’s satanic love-child. Suspenseful and chilling with minimal gore or violence, great intense plot supported by impeccable acting. 
5. Suspiria
The first Argento film I saw – his use of super vivid colors and intricate, elaborate murders are his signature style. Nightmarish and bizarre – much like the rest of his body of work.
6. Poltergeist
I was very young when I first saw this. The plot and eccentric cast of characters makes it a classic.
7. Hour of the Wolf
Ingmar Bergman’s signature style on this black & white psychological and supernatural slow-burner. It’s scary in a sombre, hallucinatory way. The scenes vary from the stark to the grotesquely grandiose – the cast of bizarre supernatural people/creatures take you to the depths of self-inflicted insanity – powerful.
8. Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Classic gorey exploitation. Super violent deaths, deranged cannibals mockingly living out a typical family dinner – this is shit that fucks your head. A real classic with an incredible legacy.
9. Evil Dead
You can’t get any better than having a tree-demon rape a soon-to-be flesh eating zombie. Bruce Campbell’s Ash is a great character, the gore is hilarious, and just when you think your hero has prevailed, you’re left with the abrupt horror of his screams as he’s consumed by darkness. Brutal.
10. Blood Feast
Herschel Gordon Lewis’ so-bad-it’s-good gore-fest. This isn’t about good acting, good story, or good effects – it’s simply an absurdly fun romp through buckets-of-blood style campy film making. The film’s based in Miami, and the machete-wielding murderer carries a book called “Ancient Weird Religious Rituals”. There’s “nothing more appalling in the annals of horror!”

The Lost Boys: A New Musical officially kicked off on Broadway last month, and Deadline now reports that the show’s Broadway run has been extended into next year.

The show was originally set to run through November, but Deadline reports that The Lost Boys: A New Musical “has released a block of tickets through Sunday, March 7, 2027.”

The news comes in the wake of The Lost Boys: A New Musical becoming the most Tony-nominated musical of the season with twelve nominations including Best Musical.

Additionally, “The Lost Boys will launch a North American National Tour in Spring 2028, at Playhouse Square in Cleveland. Additional cities and tour dates will be announced later.”

The Lost Boys: A New Musical is of course an adaptation of the 1987 horror classic from director Joel Schumacher, with the cast including Ali Louis Bourzgui as lead vampire David (originally played by Kiefer Sutherland), Maria Wirries as Star (originally played by Jami Gertz), and LJ Benet as the soon-to-be-turned Michael (originally played by Jason Patric).

The horror musical’s cast also includes Shoshana Bean as Lucy Emerson, Benjamin Pajak as Sam Emerson, Paul Alexander Nolan as Max, Jennifer Duka as Alan Frog, Miguel Gil as Edgar Frog, Brian Flores as Marko, Sean Grandillo as Dwayne, and Dean Maupin as Paul.

The Lost Boys: A New Musical is Directed by Michael Arden, featuring Music and Lyrics by The Rescues, Book by David Hornsby & Chris Hoch, Story by James Jeremias & Janice Fischer, and Produced by James Carpinello, Marcus Chait & Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring) by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures.

When a mother and her two teenage sons move to Santa Carla in desperate need of a fresh start, they soon uncover the darker side of this sunny coastal community. While Lucy tries to piece her family’s life back together, Michael keeps pulling away in search of belonging.

As he finds connection with a local rock band and its charismatic leader, his younger brother Sam comes face-to-face with a terrifying reality: When night falls, Michael’s new friends are even more dangerous than they first appeared.

Joel Schumacher directed the original The Lost Boys vampire movie in 1987, wherein two brothers move to a new town and discover that the area is a haven for vampires.
