Quite possibly the best vampire movie ever made. A superb mix of eighties film noir, western and horror. Beautifully shot, wonderfully acted. Once seen, never forgotten.

Ah, the original post-apocalyptic sci-fi zombie satire. Often imitated, never bettered. They did manage to do a pretty good remake, though. For true fans, check out the iconic Goblin music score.

John Carpenter takes body horror to a new level in this genuinely frightening tale of something amiss in an arctic research lab. Masterful horror.

Steven King's take on Dracula. How well I remember hiding behind the sofa when this was first broadcast. Definitely the most terrifying TV movie ever made. What's that scratching at the window?

And speaking of Tobe Hooper...his finest hour to some people came right here. A startling original, uncompromisingly graphic, non-stop shocker that still unnerves people today. Well, me anyway.

Another Cronenberg shocker. This time more of an action fantasy as Patrick McGoohan creates psychic super-spies. James Bond was never like this.

After Blade Runner, this is Rutger Hauer's finest moment. A wonderfully mysterious performance and a solid cast with a script by Near Dark's Eric Red. Iconic stuff.

Fairy tales were never like this! Adult stories of hairy trasnformations with some stunning imagery make this a must-see horror film.

Stuart Gordon's hilariously straight-faced horror classic. Based on H.P. Lovecraft's short story. A bizarre mixure of chills, thrills and spills.

One of the best Steven King adaptations. Sissy Spacek gives the performance of a lifetime as the gifted but bullied telekinetic who stages a devastating revenge on her peers.
