The nominees for the 91st Academy Awards dropped this morning, and save for A Quiet Place earning a nomination for Sound Editing, horror was once again shut out. No one is surprised, of course, but it still stings considering just how powerful the genre has been in the last few years. From bold new voices to powerhouse performances and brilliant screenplays, 2018 was an exceptional year in particular, and the Academy once again ignored it all.

In response, we offer up some of the Oscar nominations that should have been… the all-horror edition!
