But lots more are touched upon including H. P. Lovecraft, Shirley Jackson, W. B. Yeats, John Buchan, Stephen King and Ray Bradbury… And that’s excluding writers like Graham Swift and Kurt Vonnegut whose work resonates with me for associations beyond the supernatural.

Other films that get a mention include Suspiria, the chilling made-for-TV adaptation of Salem’s Lot and Carnival of Souls…
