Just in time for Halloween 🩸 Darklight presents: cinematic nightmares. A collection of film stills curated to terrify and delight. Allow yourself, as we were, to be afraid and inspired by the cinematic genius of the past over-a-century; from Rocky Horror Picture Show to Poor Things; A24 to Yorgos Lanthimos.

The world of horror is more influential than you might think; Hollywood’s most successful genre bar-none, with a third of the top 50 best-selling films of all time hailing from this genre. If you too get your kicks from the dark and macabre, gather around and feast on our horrorscape.  Bask in the spine-tingling composition, let your skin pimple at the fear in their eyes[!] and the sound of manic laughter flap around you like black birds. Because something wicked this way comes…

What films did we miss? Let us know @darklight__world.
