Shakespeare Adaptations
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers It may have become seemingly obvious to those in the know that have the understanding to decipher the inspiration for many of the sections for this blog – that I am a fan of Shakespeare and it feels like I’m possibly one of the only ones of my generation. …
Scandinavian Horror
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I can’t pretend it isn’t complicated trying to watch and analyse films from an area rather than a single country. With Celtic horror it was a little easier through the similarities between them and English horror in general. However, when looking at 5 different countries, there becomes fewer similarities …
Coulorophobia
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers Coulrophobia: The irrational fear of clowns. Now, I don’t think – as a child at least – this fear is that irrational: these guys are permanently smiling even when they aren’t happy!
