Australian Horror
Some horrors are universal, or certainly global, but individual countries still produce unique and recognisable styles. In Australia, famed as a setting for the end of the world, the vision is often apocalyptic, with stark landscapes and crippling isolation -- from the outback to the cities themselves. It's also spawned numerous talented authors, film-makers and artists, including those like Peter Weir, Alex Proyas and Nick Cave whose successes are on the world stage.
This site is a tribute to the local art of the macabre, and a deeper examination of the themes at work. There's a lot more out there than drop bears.
