16 Weirdest Horror Films You've Never Seen

Screamplay has got to be one of the most unique horror films that you're likely to come across. It’s shot like a washed-out, grainy black and white movie from the silent era mixed with sparse, geometric set design of German Expressionism, and all pulled together by a murder mystery. It’s a very creative and peculiar effort from filmmaker (he co-wrote, directed, edited and did the visual effects) and actor (he also plays the lead) Rufus Butler Seder.

The film introduces audiences to aspiring screenwriter Edgar Allen. He's come to Hollywood to hawk a murder mystery he's writing. Edgar seems happy-go-lucky but he has some anger issues, and whenever someone frustrates him, he pulls out his typewriter and writes a death scene for them. There's a problem however. See, these deaths he's writing actually start to take place. As the barrier between fiction and reality grows increasingly blurry, Edgar attempts to solve the murders. This results in a meta-mind-melt of epic proportions (complete with transvestites on roller-skates and cats being fed glass). 

Though Screamplay won’t be a film everyone will enjoy, those that appreciate a good surrealist slasher with silent film-like aesthetics will no doubt fall in love with this underrated and little-known gem.
