BOOM!!! This is it folks. The clock has struck midnight and the last instalment of the Doomsday Clock resonates in harmony with our first ever show. We've gone full circle and are rounding off things... for now, with another William Peter Blatty film: The Exorcist III aka. Legion.

Bruce Dickinson told us there was two minutes to midnight, but he might have been sketching out Lord Iffy Boatrace at the time. Fortunately for us, Richard Stanley upped the ante after his marvellous HARDWARE with this extremely unique and visually sumptuous flick. This ain't no hand-held hoover, this is a DUST DEVIL.

We're now in double figures and Doomsday Clock 10 is comprised of arm envy, oedipal rage and Al from Quantum Leap's brother. Oh yeh, and it's directed by someone called Alejandro Jodorowsky. It's bloody and could be considered holy, it's Santa Sangre!

In the Mouth of Madness was the winner of the listener's choice in our poll, but a close second was this classic slice of Hong Kongesque hokum from Carp and Kurt. With just three minutes left until midnight, we chop sockey towards Doomsday in the company of Jack Burton and Egg Sheng as they cause Big Trouble in Little China.

Before he became obsessed with a bespectacled child with a scar on his head, Rafe, sorry, Ralph Fiennes starred in a Kathryn Bigelow (with a little help from her now ex, James Cameron) film, which was a dystopian vision influenced by the 'then-times' riots and Rodney King killing in LA. So, as the clock ticks ever onwards to Doomsday, so do we witness the countdown to a new year to remember in Strange Days.

Although time is irrelevant to the undead, we find ourselves celebrating the minute hand striking the 6th minute to Midnight on our Doomsday countdown by taking a look at intrepid and idiosyncratic Bavarian film maker Werner Herzog's remake of F. W. Murnau's iconic Nosferatu.

Verdant, viridian and violently pink: Tears of the Black Tiger is a Thai genre mash up that defies expectations. A musical, western, melodrama with more than touch of the ol' ultraviolence a la Peckinpah; it marks the 7th minute to midnight on our Doomsday Clock countdown.

As luck would have it Dario Argento is the special guest at this year's Frightfest and like the planets aligning, Midnight Video brings into orbit the moon of Tenebrae casting it's shadow across the face of 80s Rome like the minute hand of the Doomsday Clock.
