Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Tales from the Crypt (1972)

The sadistic head of a blind home is imprisoned by his victims. The only way out is through a narrow corridor lined with razorblades. He edges out to be faced by his own starved Alsatian who chases him back.

Theatre of Blood (1973)

In imitation of Titus Andronicus, in which "an old queen eats her babies", a master chef kidnaps a gay epicure's beloved poodles and force-feeds them to him through a funnel until he chokes.

Mad Max (1979) Max handcuffs a crook to his wrecked car and arranges the spilling petrol so it seeps towards a naked flame. He gives him a hacksaw but tells him he only has time to escape if he saws off his own hand...

Scanners (1981) During a demonstration of psychic powers, telekinetic Michael Ironside makes a lecturer's head explode through sheer power of will.

A Nightmare on Elm Street, IV (1986)

Freddie Krueger picks on the athletic teenage girl with a horror of insects and turns her into a cockroach which he lures into a giant-sized "roach motel" insect-trap and squashes.
