Audiences really enjoy a good scare. When watching horror films especially, the chill viewers get is part of the thrill because of the disconnect present in watching movies. After all, the events are not happening to you. They're happening to that moronic teen who decided to go for a naked late night swim in the creepy lake, a place known for the gruesome murders that have occurred there. What if it was real though? How do you ensure you end up as the series survivor and not as the latest victim of machete hacking? The answer is surprisingly simple.
With the recent announcement of a brand new "Ring" film (in 3-D of course), it got me thinking that surviving some of these horror franchises really isn't all that difficult to do.

For many -- myself included -- there's nothing better than laughing through the first two hilarious installments of "Home Alone" or sobbing through "It's a Wonderful Life" to snap them into the Christmas spirit.
Not everyone is a sucker for feel-good Christmas movie clichés, however. And once in a blue moon, Hollywood (or a VERY independent film company elsewhere) pops out a Christmas flick that doesn't feature clumsy burglars falling down stairs or James Stewart tearfully embracing his family. I'm talking about scary Christmas movies, or at least holiday movies that are meant to be frightening but come across as comically ridiculous. The seasonal red and green colors take on new meaning when the red is gushing blood and the green is monster skin.
This is a list for those of you who like your cinematic holiday feast served with a side of horror, gore and perhaps some unintentional comedy: the 10 scariest Christmas movies of all time. Read More...
