British Horror
When we do it, we do it well ! There's quite a lot of wrongness in it too, not for the squeamish, but that's the way I like it...... An honourable mention for British horror has to go to Hammer Films, Vincent Price, Christopher Lee & Peter Cushing. They are not featured on this list (apart from Christopher) but they are probably the godfathers of everything that is, and watching their films as a kid gave me my love of the genre.
