Nothing puts you in the mood for your favorite movie or television show better than a great theme song. And nobody, and we mean nobody, does theme songs like the horror genre does. We've got 11 of the best here to prove that point.

Evil Dead. The remake we've all heard so much about. We've seen the impressive trailers, we've read the glowing reviews. We're all waiting with bated breath for the April 5 release of Evil Dead. In celebration of the film, we've got a new list for you to chew on.

When The Last Exorcism was set to be released, horror fans took up arms to protest its PG-13 rating. For many, an R rating is an inextricable component of horror films, one that allows them to push certain boundaries not found in PG-13 films. How good can a horror film be if it’s rated PG-13?
