Don't worry this is not one of those "best of" lists that everyone and their brother churns out at year's end. This is just a look back at what I personally enjoyed in the realm of horror (or near horror) .
The first thing that comes to my mind was that dream sequence in True Blood...the one that found Sam the shape-shifter and Bill the vampire eye to eye, chest to chest...
... good lord that scene gave me a case of the vapors...the only thing that would have made it better was if Alcide, the hunky werewolf, showed up and joined the party!
Speaking of True Blood. How about that nasty Rolling Stone Cover that featured Anna Paquin (Sookie) sandwiched between Stephen Moyer (Bill) and Alexander Skarsgård (Eric) ?
Meanwhile, while the horny, magically inclined folk of Bon Temps were having wild times, AMC rocked my world when it presented The Walking Dead, an intelligent and terrifying miniseries that suddenly made zombies scary again.
And I'd like to give the producers of this magnificent show a round of applause for giving me Jon Bernthal (Shane Walsh) as someone else I can stalk admire.
Oh yeah, I did see a few films this year...maybe they all were not released in 2010, but I enjoyed 'em. Some of my faves included...
...The Last Exorcism ( review here)...
... Monsters (review here)
Mother (review here)...
The Fourth Kind (review here)...
The Eclipse (review here)...
The Possession of David O'Reilly (review here)...
Pornography (review here) ...
This past October, I saw a brilliant, comedic, live adaptation of Carrie presented at Underground Arts at the Wolf Building in Philadelphia. This high camp, low budget production had to be one of the most creative things I've experienced in a quite some time. Sheer brilliance, sez I !
Carrie, The Play (review here)
And finally, I'd like to thank Nate Yapp of Cinema Geek for kindly inviting me to join the fun by becoming a contributor to his excellent blog. Finally, I find myself in respectable company. About time!

A great way to end the year! I really need to seek Pornography. sounds chilling. I need to churn one of these out in the next couple days.
I enjoyed a lot of this as well. It takes my breath away to think of what we will be loving in 2011. Maybe Bill, Sam, Alcide, and Eric will have have "Hot N Steamy" dreams! :D
Agreed with most of your list -- especially a Bill, Eric, Alcide, Sookie mashup!
