June 1
An American Werewolf In London (1981)
John Landis’ movie is arguably one of the scariest werewolf movies of all time. It’s also one of the funniest! It tells the story of an American student (David Naughton) whose best friend Jack (Griffin Dunne) is killed by a marauding wolfman on the Yorkshire Moors. It’s a terrible tragedy but if the two had listened to the less-than-friendly folk at The Slaughtered Lamb (a pub best avoided), they would have avoided the hairy beast that was wandering around the countryside looking for its next prey.

What could possibly go wrong? Well, quite a lot actually as they all discover when the metaphorical ghosts of their past become all too literal.

Home Movie (2008)
Adrian Pasdar and Cady McClain star in this found footage chiller about a married couple trying to live an idyllic life in the remote woods of upstate New York. They have the perfect house and the perfect marriage but their chances of happiness are ruined by their children who have a nasty habit of stapling frogs to trees! Are the kids evil?

June 30
Children Of The Corn (2020)
Stephen King’s classic work of horror fiction has been adapted for the screen before, most notably in 1984 when Linda Hamilton and Peter Horton starred as the road-tripping couple who stumbled upon a devilish cult of children who were beholden to a demonic figure known He Who Walks Behind The Rows. That movie wasn’t as good as the short story on which it was based but it was far better than this latest adaptation which dilutes the scares with a confusing ecological message.
