"Obvious statement incoming: 2020 is one giant mess of a year. Nothing about it is normal, including the release slate. The pandemic threw a major wrench in the theatrical lineup, among countless other things, and much of the year's most anticipated titles got bounced to next year and beyond. Digital, VOD, and streaming services became the heroes of 2020's horror, as they went into overdrive to ensure horror fans were kept busy these past several months.
Truly, the amount of new horror that came our way despite all the postponements is staggering. Just look at October alone, where Netflix, Hulu, Shudder, HBO Max, and VOD dropped an onslaught of titles to make for the busiest release month possibly of all time. So much so that it's easy to lose track. Horror lives and dies by word of mouth, and this insanely packed schedule makes it all the harder to keep great horror at the forefront of the conversation."
