Even though the Academy Awards treat our genre like the bastard child of film, they’re using Silence of the Lambs as a way of promoting the annual Oscars on February 26. They keep tricking us into watching, and it’s always the most excruciatingly boring event filled with clouds of smug and self-congratulatory clapping. You did it guys!

Horror will one day return to glory.
