The month of October is upon us and it's time to get into the spirit of things...the evil spirit that is...mwha-hah-hahhhh! So for your spooky viewing pleasure, we had a seance and conjured up our top ten meta-physical frights. Watch them if you dare. |
 |
1. Halloween Who's afraid of the Shat-man?
We all know the scariest mask in Hollywood was based on the mug of one James Tiberius Kirk. But did you know Carpenter's producition team originally wanted to use a Woody Allen mask that was all the rage at the time, but it cost too much. |

2. The Silence of the LambsLotion up!
It was either this picture or one of him dancing to Goodbye Horses. And if that's not scary enough to convince you that this is a horror flick, just know that George A. Romero makes a cameo. |

3. AlienHope he's not allergic to shellfish..
The underside of that face-hugger is made from an array of shellfish and other sea creatures. John Hurt spent a collective 72 hours with fish guts on his face. Now that's scary. |

4. ExorcistSpider walk anyone?
Bill Graham said the film itself was possessed by a demon in its celluloid. Maybe that's why the studio exorcised the spiderwalk from the original theatrical version--because that is one creepy stunt. |

 |
5. The Blair Witch ProjectIs he making a little vomit in the corner there?
Almost a decade before Cloverfield, this horror film was making people gag, not from gore, but from motion sickness. |
 |
 |
6. JawsWe're still afraid to go in the water.
This horror flick's title character taught us that sharks like to get stoned too--only, they prefer eating Mary Jane instead of smoking it. |
 |
 |
7. The FlyMee, mee, mee...
He may not have any ears, but this fly's got one hell of a singing voice. Cronenberg thought so and that's why he invested in The Fly: The Opera. |
|
 |
8. 28 Weeks LaterSo, are they zombies?
It's been largely debated whether the infected are zombies or just angry people looking for food, but one thing's for certain, when these cranky mofos miss a meal, you better run. |
 |
 |
9. The Devil's BackboneGetting his spook on...
Before Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth, Guillermo del Toro got freaky with a creepy ghost story about a young man and the co-dependent spirit that haunts him. |
 |
 |
10. Shaun of the DeadCan't space out when the dead are walking.
This horror comedy has a lot of laughs and some groovy gore, but the most scary thing about it may be how well Queen and zombie mayhem go together. |
