Not so long ago Top Gear proved that overweight, out of shape middle-aged men can reach the North Pole. But their achievement is not nearly as impressive when you consider that in 1994 three queens crossed the Australian outback – and were totally fabulous while doing it. Along the way it changed cinema history. There is no doubt that one …

This being the season of sugar, scares and sexy costumes, let’s give a nod not only to the film of the same name, but which defined a huge chunk of horrordom. The slasher sub-genre has been a little slow of late, but you can still expect at least one movie each year that copies its formula. And that all started …

Think about it: The Crow would never have been a success today. It is too dark, too morbid and no challenge for any cosplay aficionado hoping to blow away convention fanboys.

Spiders do not get movie roles all that often. There was Arachnophobia, which gave people creepy crawly terrors 23 years ago. That played a little on the fear some people harbor for these creatures.
