At Professor Horror, we don't just watch horror: we live it, study it, and celebrate it. Run by writers, critics, and scholars who've made horror both a passion and a career, our mission is to explore the genre in all its bloody brillance.

As a disability studies scholar, I found #TheHauntingOfPennhurst one of the most frustrating films at @Tribeca. The documentary captures Pennhurst's history, yet avoids the ethics of turning a site of disability violence into a haunted attraction. tinyurl.com/mr27pf57
What if studying abroad was terrifying, and then you discovered your dance academy was run by witches? Pleatherface tackles Dario Argento's #Suspiria, a horror classic that somehow remains mesmerizing even when you're not entirely sure what's going on. tinyurl.com/285ysksw
#TheBackrooms may have started as a creepypasta, but #KaneParsons turns it into something darker. Featuring Chiwetel Ejiofor, the film explores trauma, memory, accountability, and what happens when you refuse to confront the worst parts of yourself. tinyurl.com/ycxdvrxa
#TheLeader is one of my favs at @Tribeca. I still can't look at a pair of black Nike shoes without thinking about Heaven's Gate. Anchored by phenomenal work from Vera Farmiga and Tim Blake Nelson, the film looks at how the need to belong can be weaponized tinyurl.com/4um7j8a8
Lindsay Calleran's debut feature uses the family haunted house attraction as a stage for something far scarier than any theatrical scare...the moment a child realizes a parent is not who she believed him to be. @Tribeca. tinyurl.com/4nja238e
Why are horror's oldest monsters suddenly everywhere again? From #Nosferatu and #TheWolfMan to #Frankenstein and #TheMummy, Bee Delores explains how today's filmmakers are using classic horror icons to confront modern fears about isolation, power, misinformation, and survival. tinyurl.com/37yt2zz2
What happens when the world learns we are not alone? Steven Spielberg's #DisclosureDay uses aliens, whistleblowers, and secrets to explore truth, empathy, and who gets to control reality. Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colman Domingo, and Colin Firth star. tinyurl.com/3ty6kbc4
#TalesFromTheCrypt Season 5 finds the series at its peak! @lucilleballer revisits a season featuring Tim Curry, Brad Dourif, Bill Paxton, Kyle MacLachlan, and Ernie Hudson, arguing that the Crypt Keeper's 5th outing is among the anthology's best. @Shudder tinyurl.com/2tmnazuv
#Tribeca2026 is bringing us body horror, cult psychology, post-apocalyptic Halloween mayhem, a gnarly international creature feature, a one-night crime rampage from Spain, and a Heaven's Gate biopic that will draw highly fractured audiences. tinyurl.com/e65bkhmy
