This week, Bloody Good Horror celebrates the 50th anniversary of The Omen.
Rather than simply revisiting a horror classic, we explore the cultural moment that gave birth to one of the most influential supernatural films ever made. We discuss Richard Donner's classic Hollywood direction, Jerry Goldsmith's iconic score, Damian's chilling and enduring legacy, and why the fears driving The Omen in 1976 feel surprisingly relevant today.
Plus, we revisit what still works, what hasn't aged as well, and whether The Omen deserves its place among horror's all-time greats.
