the Shadows

Who are we

At Laughing Shadows, we are a couple of nobodies who live and breathe horror movies. Our passion for the genre drives us to provide the most entertaining and insightful reviews.

Join us on a thrilling journey through the world of horror cinema.

Our mission & Values

At Laughing Shadows, we dare to tread where few have stumbled: at the eerie crossroads of horror and humor. Our mission is to bring our community together to peel back the velvet curtain of the macabre, revealing the smirk hidden in the scream. With a quill dipped in the ink of irony, we dissect and celebrate the absurdities and eccentricities of horror cinema, unearthing joy in the jump scares and giggles in the ghastly.

Oh and we have no values.

Our Rating System

A devilishly delightful rating system to guide you through the world of horror movies. Each spine-chilling feature is scored on two scales: the “Nonsense Notch” and the “Scream Scale.”

The “Nonsense Notch” rates the sheer absurdity of a movie—from plot twists that make less sense than a zombie doing algebra, to special effects that make papier-mâché look high-tech. A 10 on this scale means you’re probably watching something so bonkers, it could only make sense in another dimension.

Then there’s the “Scream Scale,” which measures just how likely you are to check under your bed before you go to sleep. A score of 1 might have you yawning, but a 10 will have you sleeping with the lights on for a week!

Dive into our reviews and find out if that latest release is horrifyingly scary, hilariously silly, or the perfect blend of both!
