Well if they can't PC something up the duff, they're not interested, are they?

‘Damaged a generation of viewers, including me’: Joe Cornish on the most terrifying horror for kids / The Guardian

"From blood-soaked children’s parties to spine-tingling spectral nuns, the Attack the Block director picks the traumatic 70s and 80s horror moments he can’t forget – no matter how he tries"

Including discussions of:

The Ghost Hunters - ("This old BBC documentary about ghost-hunting might well be the scariest thing I have ever seen")
Quiet As a Nun
The House That Bled to Death - ("Watching The House That Bled to Death in October 1980 when it first went out was a rite of passage for every kid in the country, and its thrills were the talk of the playground the next day")
Children of the Stones

I couldn't wait to finally see Quiet as a Nun but it bored the hell out of me. Six episodes of bugger all.

It's overrating is very weird, I thought the ones with James Bolam and Ian McKellan were by far the best of that series.
