     There's a lot of scary things in this world; the never ending  threat of nuclear destruction , the knowledge of our own mortality and the thought that maybe, just maybe, all those ghost stories and myths might have some truth in them. It's with this in mind, and the spirit of the Halloween season that I present my favourite * horror films:  THE TOP TEN HORROR FILMS OF ALL TIME by - Grant Kanigan - 10.

America," says James Baldwin, in an archived interview. When I Am Not Your Negro  was released slowly throughout 2016 and to general audiences in 2017, James Baldwin had been dead for thirty years; he died of stomach cancer in 1987. Yet, the cancerous roots of racial hatred, slavery and institutional bias have only dug deeper and deeper into the heart of American society. A quick search on whatever search engine you use, reveals seemingly endless factsheets , articles ,  and staggering injustices like the fact "the vast majority of [U.S.] counties...
