![]() The plot revolves around a kidnapping of a prostitute with a conspiracy involving a mad scientist, mutants and a crime lord which never really comes together in any sensible way. Easily the worst film on this list, Transmutations is cheap, confusing and just boring throughout. While not based on any of Barkers stories or novels, Transmutations was the first film written by Barker. This ranking excludes Barker’s works such as Quicksilver Highway, which only features a short adaptation of The Body Politic, as well as his featured episodes on the horror anthology show Masters of Horror, as they feature as episodes and not feature-length films. So we have delved into his filmography, which is depressingly small, and ranked his film in order of which we thought were best. ![]() The man has done it all across every medium of entertainment to share his twisted thoughts And yet in the last decade his name rarely comes up unless it’s among die-hard horror fans. ![]() ![]() Stine has seen a resurgence in his material with the recent Goosebumps films, and while he may have scared the pants off my 8-year-old self, it was Clive Barker’s Books of Blood collection that kept me up at night in my later years.Ĭlive Barker is a staple of the horror industry, a figure who moved past books to writing films, directing films, and even producing video games. When it comes to horror authors and their influence on film, Stephen King has always taken the crown as the king (apologies) of horror fiction. ![]()

Lovecraft developed an extraordinary vision of feeble men driven to the edge of sanity by glimpses of malign beings that have survived from human prehistory or by malevolent extra-terrestrial visitations. He often published in Weird Tales and has since become the key figure in the slippery genre of 'weird fiction'. Lovecraft (1890-1937) was a reclusive scribbler of horror stories for the American pulp magazines that specialized in Gothic and science fiction in the interwar years.

In Queer Superhero History, we’ll look at queer characters in mainstream superhero comics, in (roughly) chronological order, to see how the landscape of LGBTQ+ rep in the genre has changed over time. But getting here was a slow and gradual process, with many notable landmarks - and some admitted missteps - along the way. In recent years, mainstream comics publishers like DC and Marvel have made great strides in increasing the LGBTQ+ rep in their universes, though they still have a long way to go. ![]() |
