Lenzi's influential cannibal movie starring Rassimov and Me Me Lai would lay the foundations for more extreme films later in the decade but would no less find itself on the video nasty list, mostly due to animal killings.

Lacking the legendary reputation of the first and the true batshit insanity of the second, The Exorcist III deserves its own place in horror history, with an eerie atmosphere, striking cinematography and a chilling villain that’s up there with the genre’s best.

The very definition of a film creeping up on you, Soft & Quiet uses the single take conceit to slowly drag you into a world of rage and ugliness, where even the kindest soul can be coaxed into committing the most horrible acts.

One of the hidden gems of 2022, Fresh puts a twisted spin on the world of modern dating and our obsession with all things physical. Screenwriter Lauryn Kahn's intention was to make a horror film for people who were on the fence about the genre.

#TrashploitationTuesday Don Juan, Or If Don Juan Were A Woman (1973)

Starring Jane Birkin and Brigitte Bardot(in her 2nd to last role). Bardot once again teams up with Roger Vadim who was interested in looking at the sexual liberation of the era thru the gaze of a woman.

The Curse of Frankenstein from 1957 would mark the 1st time a Hammer Horror was shot in colour.

Dir. Terence Fisher & DP Jack Asher were so in thrall of the Eastman film stock, that they took to painting objects such as leaves and berries to take advantage of the vivid colours

#HumpdayHorror The Vampire Lovers (1970)

Hammer pushes their 'bloodshed and bosoms' formula into overt erotica in this adaptation of Carmilla - a vampire novel released 25 years b4 Stoker's Dracula. The book would be used against censors who weren't happy with the lesbianism.

If 'fatsploitation' was a subgenre, Criminally Insane, a.k.a. Crazy Fat Ethel, would be it's poster child. Priscilla Alden reprised her title role in the 1987 sequel, which uses roughly 50% of the original's footage as flashback material.

This joke ad was published in the Backwoods Home magazine, inspiring a host of internet memes and even being featured on The Jay Leno Show. It also inspired the film Safety Not Guaranteed, which we covered almost 3 years ago. Check it out, it’s fun. Guaranteed.
