Catching up on last month's Patreon's Choice episode: The Top 10 Horror Movie Chase Scenes, where Zack and Tim will go through their favorite chase scenes, along with some honorable mentions. A lot goes into crafting a great chase scene, and it seems to be a lost art form in the horror genre these days. Most studio execs would sooner trim them down for a shorter runtime, and most filmmakers take a more formulaic approach. So we really wanted to get some deep cuts for our selections, which we feel are an elevation on the typical point A to point B chase. Also, there's no regular Cherry Picker Poll this week, but if you would like to help us decide what is truly the best horror movie chase scene, check out the poll on YouTube and our social media accounts.
