Pantys 2018: My 10 Favorite Scary Movies

.
Before I dive head-long into my Top 20 films of 2018 for our "Golden Trousers" awards (although you can see 10 runners-up we posted last week right here) I wanted to spotlight the best of my favorite movie genre -- what scared us in 2018? Well I think y'all know the answer to that. Its a big blobby wailing monster whose skin and hair is just about the same color as those pants to the left. So we took refuge from the real world's frights in movies that were almost to a tee about finding one's self in a world gone wrong, where the things you thought you could count on were upended, poisoned, curdled bad. Relationships, whether romantic or familial, were not to be trusted, while the world out of doors is enthusiastically sharpening its knives. You know. That ol' spooky junk. Been there, crapped my pants, bought the t-shirt. So here's my big ten boos, with a bonus favorite bit to chew on each...
