“One of the great things about working with John Lasseter and Vicky Jenson is that they’ve both done so many of these movies, and so they’re not intimidated by the creative process. We were able to work all the way through to the end to figure out, ‘Oh, where is that, what’...
Nosferatu (1922) There's just something about Dracula stories: They've been captivating audiences since movies were first made, and are still being made today. (See: This year's The Last Voyage of the Demeter and Renfield.) F.W. Murnau's offers a silent, German Expressionist take on th...

George A. Romero has made his career directing the best zombie movies, usually using the undead as a stand-in to say something about mass culture at large. But even if the metaphors go over your head, just watching the flesh-eating creatures is scary enough on its own. There are six se...
