This season would be nothing without the King of Filth. But when so many of his films fit the brief, which to choose? Ultimately, it had to be the good-girl-gone-bad tale of cha-cha-heel-desiring Dawn Davenport, one of the many iconic collaborations between Waters and Divine. Now, who’s ready to die for art?
