Industrial rock band Ventenner is no stranger to atmosphere, crafting their own style and sound on their new album Distorture, which came out yesterday (order here).

And to celebrate this album’s release, main man Charlie Dawe has taken this idea of atmosphere and turned it towards creating a Top 10 Atmospheric Horror Films list!

Dawe begins by stating:

As a band, one thing we strive for is creating atmosphere. Ventenner often draws comparisons with horror films, and I have to say I really do soak them up like a sponge. So this is a list of my top 10 atmospheric horror films and those that have had the biggest influence on me.

Check out his full list below.

The Shining

From the outset of this film with the sinister opening music and sweeping panoramics of the mountains, something just feels off. The whole time this film is on there’s an unsettling quietness about it. That said the film is anything but quiet, the sound design is horrifying and Kubrick creates a deeply sinister feel the whole way through.

Daniel Roebuck has been cast as Santa Claus in Terrifier 3, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report.

Writer-director Damien Leone is currently wrapping production on the highly-anticipated sequel, in which Art the Clown unleashes chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.

“I’ve been holding this secret for a long time!” Roebuck tells Bloody Disgusting. “I’ve been really excited about it. I’m actually entering into the movies that I watch. It’s extraordinary. This is Terrifier bigger, badder, best.”

Roebuck appears in Terrifier 3 alongside returning cast members David Howard Thornton, Lauren LaVera, Samantha Scaffidi, Elliot Fullam, and AEW superstar Chris Jericho.

No stranger to iconic horror properties, Roebuck has squared off against Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, played The Count in Zombie’s The Munsters, succumbed to The Tall Man’s sphere in Phantasm: Ravager, and investigated death in Final Destination.

A distinguished character actor with over 250 credits, Roebuck has also appeared in The Devil’s Rejects, 3 from Hell, Bubba Ho-Tep, John Dies at the End, The Fugitive, Lost, Agent Cody Banks, and The Man in the High Castle. Incidentally, he’s also playing Santa in the family drama Saint Nick of Bethlehem, due out later this year.

Terrifier 3 will be released in theaters nationwide later this year via Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting in conjunction with our partner on Terrifier 2, Iconic Events Releasing.
