I get a lot of people sending me stuff about new Brit horror releases,
classic Brit horrors on DVD etc, and until now I've tended to just...
well... delete 'em. But not from now on! There's now a new dedicated
news blog up and running for all your Brit horror needs...
While you wait for the website to be updated with some new old
films (it could be a long wait...) how about listening to some banging
tunes, courtesy of the film's soundtracks?
Here's a couple of classics that have been clogging up my MP3 player
for a while now. Feel free to download 'em. If this little experiment
doesn't completely wreck my bandwidth allowance, I'll put some more
on later. Also, let me know if you like 'em, cos I do!
Wash Me
In His Blood (from The Fiend)
Some quality 70s gospel from one of the nuttiest films ever!
Ratbags (from Barry Mackenzie
Holds His Own)
All together now! "You're a Ratbag, a raving Ratbag..."
Time to get this one into the charts, methinks.
Golden Eyes Of Evil
(from Horror Hospital)
Some heavy metal genius. "Have you been snorting coke, Jason?"
Fab.
BHF Anthology news
The Second BHF Book Of Horror Stories is still on sale! Find
out more here.
Like Curse Of Frankenstein? Like kicking a ball around?
Like pointless, addictive, on-line games? How about something that
combines all three? Yes! It's the brand new, utterly daft,
Baron Frankenstein Keepy-Uppy game!
Don't say we didn't warn you...
The Films
They're what your here for, after all... An A-Z guide of all the
films featured on the site. Each film has its own page featuring
a review and photos, with links to extra stuff like sounds, video,
posters and picture galleries...
I've recently updated the timeline, so
now you can see every film reviewed on this
site in date order. Blimey.
Visit the BHF shop!
This site now offers two (count 'em) online shops, selling exclusive
British horror film themed merchandise. Any profits made by the shops
are ploughed back into the site - so buy a t-shirt, mug or mousemat
safe in the knowledge that what you're doing is keeping your favourite
site running. EU

British horror television
It's not all films, you know... some of the purest slices of British
horror can be found coming out of that glowing box in the corner of
the room. Yup, we've gone all telly, with a whole area devoted to
the "idiot box". Click here to see the new
TV section...
Top 100 films and television
The top 100 British horror productions on film and TV, as voted for
by the users of the British horror films forum.
Just pretend Jimmy Carr's reading them out and Channel 4 have spread
the countdown over six hours on a Saturday and Sunday night...
Video
Video clips of some old favourites. These are from films which aren't
easily available from your local WH Smiths, so this could be
your only chance to check out some real rarities. Also featured are
those moments which actually make you realise you're watching a horror
film (You know, scary bits).
All clips are in .avi format.
Brit Horror Forum
Join our burgeoning online community! Write your own reviews, vote
for your favourites, ask questions, complain or just chat. It's up
to you. There's a whole load of Brit horror fans out there, and they're
a friendly bunch. Enjoy yourself.
Extra Stuff
From time to time I add extra bits and pieces to the site which don't
fall into any of the above categories. Must of them are vastly misjudged,
with the benefit of hindsight. Still, you can find out for yourself
here.
Links
Some links to other sites. I've kept it within the horror/film genre,
so you can all breathe easy and have a look.
