CANNIBAL GIRLS

So-bad-it’s-rotten comedy-horror from Canada, notable only for the fact that it was an early effort by director Ivan Reitman

CANDYMAN

This racially tinged gorefest is a standout horror film of the 1990s, and one of the best Clive Barker adaptations to date

THE CANDY SNATCHERS

I caught up with this 1973 obscurity fairly recently, but it immediately jumped to the top of my grindhouse fave list

THE CALL OF CTHULHU

One of the more unique films made from the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, a silent movie based on one of the maestro’s most famous stories

CALIGULA

CALIGULA is of course the legendary Penthouse-financed historical porno epic, a one-of-a-kind debacle with a background as outrageous as the film itself

THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI

Often cited as the world’s first true horror film, this German classic from 1920 has taken on near-legendary status among cultists, and retains a loopy aura that has yet to be matched

THE WOMAN

Despite some pretty glaring missteps, this is one of the most stylish and atmospheric horror films of 2011, a gory yet compelling depiction of American psychosis

A WOMAN POSSESSED

A pompously psychedelic, nudity-filled account of witchcraft in the French countryside, A WOMAN POSSESSED was banned for many years in its native land, which is pretty hard to believe these days
