Netflix’s smash-hit series Wednesday continues to impress eagle-eyed subscribers around the world, with plenty of praise offered up in the direction of star Jenna Ortega.

As the second half of the incomparable duo in modern horror, with the other half ironically being Jenna Ortega, Mia Goth is undoubtedly an underrated presence in the massive catalog. Over this past year, Goth has devoted her acting prowess to horror projects like X and Pearl, both brainchilds from Ti West that perfectly showcase Goth’s intense acting style. Despite her success, horror fanatics were shocked to discover that Goth had not been nominated for any category in 2023 Golden Globes’ noms, which understandably enraged plenty of folks. Of course, there’s always next year for Goth to continue leaving the genre in awe, but the fact she hasn’t already been nominated is a true travesty.

From Hereditary to Get Out, the horror genre is crawling with a plethora of bone-chilling features that tease the most sensitive parts of our cerebral. Although, some of the most unsettling flicks in the genre are undoubtedly long in the tooth — but their scare factor is just as vibrant as ever. Such is the case with 1990’s Jacob’s Ladder, which completely influenced the genre and terrorized fans with its jaw-dropping ending. Three decades old or not, there’s no denying that the supernatural film has made a massive impact on the colossal catalog, and will likely continue to do so for another 30 years.

See you back here tomorrow, Goth supporters, for a fresh-faced horror roundup.
