The Fly
No movie marathon is complete however, without a bit of Cronenberg or a dash of Jeff Goldblum, making the body horror maestro’s The Fly a must have for any scary movie night.
While testing a pair of matter transporters, a brilliant scientist accidentally combines his DNA with that of a wayward fly, sparking a gradual and gruesome transformation, as body and mind alike fall apart to become something neither man or animal. Considered one of the Cronenberg’s best, as the film’s famous tagline says: be afraid. Be very afraid.
With Halloween fast approaching, which classic horrors will be joining Child’s Play in your fright night marathon?
