Its literally the first half of the book. Surprisingly well realised for a low budgeter.

Infection films? This idea could be catching!

Right, lets see how far I can get with this one

1: Demons - I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this Bava/Argento film. Extreme gore + violence + heavy metal soundtrack = classic movie
2: Slither - An updating of 'Shivers', with parasitic worms infecting a small American town. Great movie that mixes laughs and chills
3: REC 3 - The best of the series as far as I am concerned
4: The Stuff - Infection by yogurt!
5: SARS Wars - Thai film, completely different to Star Wars!
6: Children Of Men - Finally, an intelligent film in one of my lists!
7: Shivers - See #3. Parasitic worms as a metaphor for VD
8: Cabin Fever - Don't drink the water!
9: The Stand - Stephen King adaptation set in a post plague environment. The band Anthrax wrote the song 'Spreading The Disease' about the original book
10: Doctor Who: The Ark In Space - Terrifying use of bubble-wrap! The body as a host for an alien parasite

Think you'll find the song is called Among the Living from the album of the same name.

There isn't a song titled Spreading the Disease. It's the title of their second album.

You are right

The opening line is:

"Disease, disease
Spreading the disease
With some help from Captain Trips
He'll bring the world down to his knees"

If we're going to include Who, what about Seeds of Doom? Keeler's transformation is nightmare-inducing. The bit where he's tied down to the bed transforming and in agony, and Chase has him offered raw meat and he gets this hungry look in his eyes...

Mummy!

Mummy!

'The Seeds Of Doom' is indeed a great one, BUT the first episode of 'The Ark In Space' scared me so much that my mum banned me from watching the rest of the story!
