Horror from Around the World: Canada

Since I posted a list of horror westerns last year after moderating a panel on the topic at Crypticon, I figured I should probably post lists from other country-specific panels in which I've participated over the years. 

In every case, I put together a preliminary list before crowd-sourcing for more. I compiled this Canadian one in 2018 for a panel called Horror From Around the World. Since then, Jason Weiss and I have moderated panels on French and Spanish horror; I'll also post those lists at some point. If you see any favorite Canadian titles missing, please feel free to let me know.
