HABIT
Courtesy of the multi-talented Larry Fessenden, HABIT turned out to be one the best films of 1997, accomplishing what so many others have failed to achieve: breathing new life into a tired genre
FROM BEYOND
Director Stuart Gordon’s follow-up to his legendary debut RE-ANIMATOR was this wet, wild and wonderful exercise in B-movie delirium
FREAKSHOW
The DVD cover art for this trash contains some pretty astounding hype promising “THE MOST HORRIFYING FILM OF THIS CENTURY” with “A CAST OF ACTUAL SIDESHOW PERFORMERS” that was “BANNED IN 43 COUNTRIES.” What can I say? I fell for it
FREAK OUT
No budget British comedy-horror from 2005. It’s utterly ludicrous, trashy and obnoxious—and also pretty damn funny!
FREAK ORLANDO
Perhaps the ultimate Freak Movie, this beyond-bizarre German phantasmagoria features human oddities of every conceivable assortment (some natural born, others created by prosthetic FX) in a surreal cavalcade the likes of which you won’t see anywhere else
FRANKENSTEIN UNBOUND
This 1990 horror/sci fi extravaganza was something of an event upon its initial release, even if it was ignored by its distributors (who gave it minimal support) and the general public (who didn’t bother turning out)
FRANKENSTEIN (1910)
This is the holy grail of horror films, a one-reel silent adaptation of Mary Shelley’s FRANKENSTEIN made under the auspices of Thomas Edison back in 1910
FAREWELL JOHNNY
This film is often classified as the first South African cult movie, an insane asylum-set satire that remains an arrestingly bizarre spectacle
LABYRINTH OF DREAMS
Arthouse devotees will appreciate this heavily stylized black and white mystery from Japan’s legendary Sogo Ishii
LA TIA ALEJANDRA
A horror outing from Mexico’s Arturo Ripstein; it’s strikingly weird, but otherwise has little to recommend
