MICHAEL JACKSON’S THRILLER
Q: When is a horror movie not a movie? A: When it’s a 14-minute music video masquerading as a movie
METAMORPHOSIS (HENGE)
Clocking in at just 54 minutes, this film is gory, audacious and romantic, and can’t be faulted for being too long
METAL SKIN
This is one of the finest Australian films of the past couple decades, and also one of the most underappreciated: a bleak and upsetting stew of post-teenage ennui, witchcraft, psychosis and death!
MESSIAH OF EVIL
Amid the innumerable NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD wannabes that appeared in the seventies the no budget MESSIAH OF EVIL stands out
MESHES OF THE AFTERNOON
This 1943 experimental short is by no means a traditional horror movie, but it is among the most vital and influential such films
THE BECKONING FAIR ONE
This is the most famous tale written by the late Oliver Onions, and widely considered one of the classic English language ghost stories.
The Beast Within
A surprise: a moldy oldie that never seemed too promising (especially since it was made into a crummy 1982 flick) but which turned out to be one of the finest genre novels I’ve read in some time. It’s graphic, imaginative and wildly unpredictable, not to mention pleasingly eccentric.
BEARWALK
This little-known Canadian relic offers a novel take on the oft-used concept of an ancient Indian curse wreaking havoc on the lives of a modern couple: it’s actually populated by Indian–or, this being a Canadian publication, First Nations–people.
BANSHEES
The idea of a satanically endowed rock band isn’t new, but in the hands of author Mike Baron (of 2013’s SKORPIO) it assumes a terrifically pulpy grandeur
BALAOO
The altogether outrageous account of a pithecanthrope, or ape-man.
