10 Spine-Chilling Winter Horror Movies

10. Curtains (1983)

The 1980s was the slasher decade. In fact, so many blood-spattered terrors hit the scene that some inevitably found their way to almost complete obscurity. One such film was Canadian slasher Curtains.

The plot follows a group of actresses attending an audition for the leading role for a prestigious but sleazy director's (John Vernon) latest film at his remote mansion. What they didn’t expect, however was for uninvited actor Samantha (Samantha Eggar) to appear after escaping an asylum.

Furthermore, a masked killer in an ill-fitting hag mask also makes their presence known that night, and begins killing the performers one by one. And with nothing but snow and ice surrounding the group, escape proves futile.

Very low budget and very bloody, Curtains is exactly the kind of schlocky and gruesome horror genre fans crave. Intended to break away from the teen screams of its contemporaries, this flick has a deliciously pulpy air to it, made all the better by a brooding score.

Though it would take until 2014 for this film to get its first DVD release, Curtains has finally found the cult following and appreciation it deserves.
