Nuclear War | The Bedlam Files

THE WAR GAME

A profoundly shattering, staunchly reality-based look at the effects of a possible nuclear war on Great Britain

A paperback original that can be viewed as the trashy down-market inverse of ON THE BEACH

A stellar holiday themed effort from the American TV archives, and one of the medium’s most brilliant and prolific contributors: Rod Serling

A much-needed addendum to a previous essay, with an overview of weird holiday-themed films emerging from around the world

John Carpenter has described this never-made script as “kind of HALLOWEEN in a nuclear power plant,” and that does indeed sum it up

If this year proves anything it’s that the rosy view of the eighties that has taken hold is complete bullcrap

Continuing with my Year in Bedlam year-end overviews, we arrive at 1984

Fact: anyone who says the eighties were a “golden age” for film is wrong, wrong, wrong, as the year 1986 proves quite amply

An evangelical film with a difference, which is to say that unlike most such films SIX-HUNDRED & SIXTY SIX, hailing from 1972, is almost good

Believe me when I tell you that this 1970s relic is one of the absolute best after-the-bomb novels in existence
