The Lair of the White Worm (1988)
Ken Russell's classic piece of Wyrd England is a brilliant example of kinky horror. Based on Bram Stoker's story this is a fun ride as Amanda Donohoe's sexy snake woman seduces all she meets - from boy scout to policeman to Peter Capaldi's archaeologist before ensnaring pretty Catherine Oxenberg with her phallic implements.
Taking in mythology and folklore not to mention monstrous white worms and Hugh Grant's flight attendant fantasies too, the whole thing is one beautifully bonkers, blasphemous and utterly original horror delight.
