On October 1st, Paramount Pictures will release “Paramount Scares Vol. 2,” the follow-up to their successful Vol. 1 horror box set from 2023. The initial volume showcased a curated selection of five films, ranging from the 1968 psychological horror “Rosemary's Baby” to the more recent “Smile” from 2022. This approach demonstrated a clear intent to highlight the studio's diverse contributions to the horror genre across different eras. As we examine the contents of Vol. 2, it will be interesting to analyze whether Paramount maintains this strategic curation and if the included titles generate the same level of enthusiasm as the inaugural collection.
