The horror genre has so many branches that it has seen a variety of stories, some of them praised by critics and audiences and others not so much, but something that the horror genre has struggled with is getting recognized by the Academy Awards, and so far, only six horror movies have been nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. The horror genre is still riding the wave of success that it has been going through in the last years, thanks to a combination of original stories, adaptations of books and other media, remakes, and reboots/requels, the latter being especially popular in big franchises like Halloween and Scream.
