Five great overlooked horror movies to watch this Halloween
The article recommends five overlooked horror films for Halloween, arguing that they offer a change from familiar classics and show how the genre has developed. It says horror’s limited mainstream and awards-season appeal has helped some influential or unusual films slip from view.
Among the examples covered are Georges Méliès’s three-minute 1896 film *Le Manoir du diable*, an early showcase for cinematic effects; *Censor*, set in 1980s Britain during the “video nasty” debate; Lindsey C Vickers’s atmospheric *The Appointment*, rediscovered from a television broadcast tape after its original negative was lost; and Mario Bava’s 1971 proto-slasher *A Bay of Blood*. The supplied article text cuts off before the fifth film is identified.
In short
- Five lesser-known horror films offer alternatives to Halloween staples.
- *Le Manoir du diable* dates from 1896 and runs for three minutes.
