- Enjoying something of a resurgence of late, within this Spooktacular category you will find all manner of films providing jumps and jolts from those entities who linger beyond the grave. Consider your spine well and truly tingled.
- Monsters and mayhem! Vampires, Werewolves - anything with teeth, claws, scales or fur. If it kills, you will find it here.
- Some of horror's most celebrated directors cut their teeth in the genre. Named after the yellow stickers on genre novels 'Giallo' movies shoot to thrill. We've also banged in other assorted thrillers into this eclectic genre collection.

- “WHEN THERE'S NO MORE ROOM IN HELL, THE DEAD WILL WALK THE EARTH" - from Romero and Fulci to modern classics, we got you covered. Better check your brain out before viewing though...
