KLASYCZNE HORRORY: POLISH CLASSIC HORROR FILM POSTERS
Classic Horror Campaign Posted by Richard on Mar 3, 2013

Deliverance (1972)
Classic Horror Campaign Posted by Richard on Mar 3, 2013
If you love the experience of being well and truly scared whilst watching a movie – as opposed to appreciating classic horror from Hammer et al for its “kitsch” nature – then you’ll love Deliverance. Deliverance is John Boorman’s classically dark 1972 thriller. Boorman both produced and read more

Alien (1979)
Classic Horror Campaign Posted by Richard on Feb 23, 2013
British director Ridley Scott’s landmark 1979 sci-fi thriller Alien is about seven charmers stuck on a mining ship out in deep space with a creature that they unknowingly pick up while futzing around on some planetoid. So it’s your typical “monster in the house” formula, but the sets are so read more

Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things (1973)
Classic Horror Campaign Posted by Richard on Feb 20, 2013
The best low budget horror films tend to be the ones that play to the strengths of the creative forces behind them. In the case of “Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things” those strengths are almost entirely in the writing. I’ve seen better written horror films, yes – read more

Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, The (1920)
Classic Horror Campaign Posted by Richard on Feb 9, 2013
As this is a website dedicated to horror films of a certain vintage, I thought I’d offer up a review of what may be the most classic of the classic horror films – the movie thought to be the first true example of the genre. Despite this being near the top of my Things To Watch list, it took me quite read more

THE ULTIMATE CAROLINE MUNRO FANTASY FILM – AND THE WINNER IS….
Classic Horror Campaign Posted by Richard on Feb 5, 2013
A huge thank you to all of you who voted in our poll to find the ultimate Caroline Munro fantasy movie.

Blood Beach (1980)
Classic Horror Campaign Posted by Richard on Jan 31, 2013
Okay, so if you have a film called “Blood Beach” I don’t think it’s particularly unreasonable to expect to see both some blood and a beach. You definitely get a beach in this film, but blood? Not so much. You can count the moments it’s seen on screen on one hand: dead dog, nibbled spoilt read more

A Lizard In A Woman’s Skin (1971)
Classic Horror Campaign Posted by Richard on Jan 25, 2013
Giallo’s a bit of a problem genre for horror fans. Sometimes they’re crime films with a tendency towards horror and sometimes they’re horror films with a bit of crime added to the mix. Obviously a decent Giallo film will press buttons that are common to both genres, but there’s also the added read more
The Manitou (1978)
Classic Horror Campaign Posted by Richard on Jan 24, 2013
The Visitor One of the reasons I love horror is because I love the freedom that working within the genre brings. As long as you pay attention to a certain amount of genre rules, you can bend the narrative to whatever end you want. So you get masters like Blatty and Friedkin ruminating on spiritualit read more
