01
The Company of Wolves
Why this pick
Like Ken Russell’s film, it turns British folklore into lush, knowingly artificial erotic horror, balancing campy humour with dreamlike menace and extravagant imagery.

01
02
Daughters of Darkness
Why this pick
Its decadent aristocratic vampire mood, stylised colour design, sly sensuality, and unhurried absurdity make it a strong match for White Worm’s elegant occult camp.
03
Gothic
Why this pick
Another Russell fever dream: a literary ghost-story setting becomes baroque, sexually charged hallucination, with the same willingness to make horror grotesque, funny, and visually excessive.
04
The Blood on Satan's Claw
Why this pick
This rural British folk-horror nightmare shares the ancient buried evil and village corruption, though it plays its period atmosphere and creeping dread far straighter.
05
The Wicker Man
Why this pick
A sceptical outsider enters an isolated British community shaped by pagan ritual; its folk strangeness, dark wit, and escalating unease echo White Worm’s regional occultism.
