Dimension
People in horror movies do the darndest things, don't they? We've all had a "Don't go in there, you idiot!" moment or twelve while watching fright flicks. Horror sure does bring out the stupids.
This counter-intuitive behavior makes it seem like these folks are handing over their lives on a silver platter, so in honor of this weekend's "Evil Dead" let's celebrate the good, the bad and the dumber-than-a-bag-of-hammers of the genre. Appropriately enough, our first entry comes from that franchise. Get More »

A Sad History of Failed Movie Exorcisms
Lionsgate
"The Last Exorcism 2" hits theaters next Friday and if you're like us, you're probably thinking one thing: How can a movie called "The Last Exorcism" have a sequel? It's like the Hollywood equivalent of having 14 "Final Fantasy" games.
But the answer is simple: Exorcisms never really seem to work in movies. For over four decades, film fans have been going to the cineplex for one horror movie after another and the one thing you can pretty much always count on is the fact that when it comes time to try and exorcise a demon from a human host, that attempt will fail and fail miserably.

'The Exorcist' Recut as an '80s Sitcom
Warner Bros.
In 1973, director William Friedkin terrorized global audiences with his squirm-inducing vision of demonic possession, "The Exoricst."
Father Damien Karras' battle with the evil spirit of Pazuzu now continues on the small screen, thanks to the editing wizardry of Film School Rejects, who have re-assembled "The Exorcist" as if it were a cheesifying 1980's sitcom. Get More »

The 9 Best Pee Scenes in Movies
Millennium Entertainment
At this year's Cannes Film Festival, a steady stream of chatter swirled around "The Paperboy" due to a scene in which Nicole Kidman pees on Zac Efron's face.
"Dear Lord, why?" you might ask. Well, aside from the fact that an Oscar winner urinating on your head grants you thespian superpowers and cures migraines, the starlet's saintly spray also cured the searing pain of a jellyfish sting.
We're sure you're all now bursting to witness this degrading spectacle, and, thankfully, "The Paperboy" opens in select theaters this Friday. So while waiting to go — and you gotta go — let's revisit some timeless tinkles from tinseltown. Because while these golden moments might be listed as our Top 9, but they're all #1 in our book.

Why Exorcisms Are Awesome
Paramount
We predicted a year or so back that the release of "The Last Exorcism" would not actually be the last exorcism. How do we know? Please refer again to this article's title.
After all, as Michael Bay can attest, Hollywood loves making movies about things that are awesome. Plus, we knew that the Anthony Hopkins thriller "The Rite" was on its way.
Now, this week, we get "The Devil Inside," which is basically like "Paranormal Activity" meets "The Exorcist." We'll take it. Why? Because like most exorcism films, it looks awesome. Get More »

The 5 Movies That Scare the S#*t Outta Jason Voorhees
Paramount
Kane Hodder is a legend in the horror biz, with more on-screen kills than you could count. He also wore a hockey mask more than most Canadians do when he portrayed bloodthirsty murder machine Jason Voorhees in four "Friday the 13th" installments, a series record. (His personal favorite kill is the infamous "sleeping bag against a tree" scene.)
Recently Hodder has found a new avenue for his particular brand of personal expression as deformed maniac Victor Crowley in the "Hatchet" series. He will begin shooting "Hatchet 3" early next year, and, in his words, is "anxious to get back in that Victor makeup and kill some motherf***ers."
For all the nightmares he's given people over the years, there are a few fright flicks that have given Hodder the shivers as well. After reading through his terrific new autobiography "Unmasked: The True Life Story of The World’s Most Prolific Cinematic Killer," we asked the genial Hodder what his favorite scary movies are -- and he has some doozies.
