Now here's your host, Mick Garrus.

From Nice Guy Productions World Headquarters

overlooking the glamorous San Fernando Valley,

I'm Mick Garrus, and this is Postmortem.

So far this year, 2023 has been an active one for the horror genre.

The year is only a third of the way over, and there have been releases up plenty.

Some of them, like Evil Dead Rise, have been big at the box office, and most have not.

But theatrical release is a tough ride for genre movies, especially the independent ones.

The familiar titles or what the industry loves to call IP for intellectual property

are what feed the big screen most successfully,

and every original horror film that dies at the box office

is another nail in the coffin of original horror movies at the cinema.

But the evolution that continues at such a high rate

means that streaming has replaced the drive-in and the independent theaters and art houses.

So it just means that you have to search.

The podcasts and websites that bring attention to horror movies are plentiful

and provide an opportunity to discover these little gems that you might never have seen without their help.
