WITCHFINDER GENERAL
This 1968 gut-wrencher was the final film of Britain’s late Michael Reeves, and one of the highlights of 1960s British horror cinema
THE WHIP AND THE BODY
One of the strangest and most interesting films made by Mario Bava, a film featuring ahead-of-its-time perversity and the type of visual brilliance for which Bava is renowned
THE HAUNTING (1963)
A G-rated horror movie? Yes, there is indeed such a thing, and it can actually work, as this 1963 classic from the late Robert Wise proves
MATANGO
This classic of Japanese horror, from the creator of the GODZILLA flicks, was a groundbreaker in its day and remains an effective piece of work

MANTIS IN LACE
Sex and psychedelia merge in this supremely silly late-sixties freak-out about an acidhead stripper on a killing rampage. It’s stupid as shit but fun nonetheless!
THE MANSTER
An American-Japanese co-production that apparently horrified an entire generation of sixties-era youngsters
VIY
An astounding Nikolai Gogol inspired achievement in old-school horror
BURN, WITCH BURN!
This intriguing 1962 horror fest, known as NIGHT OF THE EAGLE outside the US, is a justified classic, but it should be better than it is
THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN’T DIE
Perhaps the ultimate head-in-a-dish movie, and there’s an excellent reason for its notoriety
