Fantasia International Film Festival 2026, the 30th edition. This is the annual film festival founded in 1996 and held primarily in Montreal, Canada. It specialises in genre films, including fantasy, horror, science fiction, and cult cinema, and draws over 100,000 attendees each year including Marc Canale and myself, old hands at this now, two years on the trot at A Year in Horror HQ. Once again we've been invited to take part in covering the big one and we can not wait to get stuck in. Today we run through the second batch of films we caught at this years event and then pick our favourites of the festival.

1974 was a top year for horror movies and it contains some of the most popular titles of all time. But, what do I think was the very greatest horror movie that came out during 1974? Well, here we have the top 9. The worst 10. A slew of also rans. Some awesome mates. Some special guests. Several shots of whisky and a 6 hour running time split over 4 episodes. This is 1974, A Year In Horror.

Plus a stack of potential greats in our also ran choices.

UK Thrashers Acid Reign are back with a new album 'Daze of the Week'. Writer and director Damian McCarthy is also back, he, with his latest movie 'Hokum'. I can think of nothing better than mashing up the two of them into a fantastical English/Irish folk horror thrash assault. This is the result.

Cripes! This is another one of the big hitter episodes that I planned out before even episode 1 of A Year In Horror. I get to watch every single David Cronenberg directed movie and then rank them from worst to best. That's right, EVERY ONE! Well, here we have the top 10. The worst 5. A slew of also rans. Some awesome guests. Several pints of beer and over 5 hours of running time split over 4 episodes. This is David Cronenberg, A Lifetime In Movies.
