GALLERY: The Creepiest Movie Posters Ever
When going in to see a scary movie, you usually know what you're getting, not just because you've seen the trailer or heard the buzz, but because the posters advertising the movie are completely terrifying.
The poster for the upcoming horror flick "The Last Exorcism Part II" is one of the freakiest, and the sight of Ashley Bell bending backwards (really, really backwards) inspired us to go searching for other posters that are just as creepy as the movies. We've learned that if you want to make someone have nightmares before they even step into the theater, be sure to include eerie children, missing body parts or creepy crawlies on the poster.
We recommend keeping a light on as you flip through these photos.

Impressively Unsucky Remake 'Let Me In' Enters DVD/Blu-ray Realm
Overture
"Let Me In" did the impossible upon its theatrical release last fall. It proved that remakes don't have to suck.
Back in 2008, a Swedish child vampire chiller by the name of "Let the Right One In" hit the art house circuit and quickly developed a loyal following among genre fans. Restrained, haunting and ultimately moving, it was everything modern American horror films aren't. Naturally Hollywood came calling.
The remake, now on DVD and Blu-ray, maintains the eerie tone of the original, while adding some spice to the mix. Get More »

Staff Picks: Breanne L. Heldman's Top 10 Movies of 2010
Fox Searchlight
I must confess – I genuinely think 2010 was a good year in movies.
Of course, I'm not simply basing that on a series of obviously stellar performances and the number of films deserving of awards recognition. And I'm not making my list after staring at a bunch of pundits' thoughts on the matter.
My favorite movies are ones that either make me feel something real and physical (and not just that sense of "I'm so smart. I saw that little indie") or that I'm inclined to watch over and over. Better yet, I like my movies to do both, and it's a tall order.
