Easter may have been last week, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still feast on some Easter-themed horror movies as well as leftover chocolate. We have been presented with a whole load of Easter-themed horror movies throughout the years… but not too many that this list isn’t populated with a spattering of murderous, sadistic bunny rabbits. Anyway, with that being said here are our top 5 horror movies for you to binge on:
Kottentail (2007)
This one is engraved in the records of any horror fan’s scary library. A farmer, Hans Kottentail, is bitten by an escaped test rabbit and goes through a terrifying physical change that includes growing fur and hopping. It isn’t long before a murderous rage consumes him and he develops a bloodthirsty appetite for the local townsfolk, especially female college students. With real life playboy bunny, Bridget Marquardt, playing a leading role, this film is definitely worth a watch.
Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill! (2006)
Remington, a sleazy conman, charms his way into the life of a young mother and her mentally challenged son, Nicholas. His facade of fatherly affection soon vanishes when the mother is out at work and he torments the child along with his drug dealer/child molester friend. Nicholas is tortured on Easter day as well but it all comes to a terrifying end when an Easter Bunny masked character sets out to murder all those who have wronged the child.
Angel of Death (2002)
A small town’s yearly Easter celebration turns into a deadly nightmare with a series of horrifying ritual killings. As the bodies drop, it is up to detective Maria Delgado to find the madman responsible for these savage atrocities. The pressure mounts as the plot thickens and Delgado has to save herself before it’s too late. Make sure the popcorn’s warm because this one will have you chilled to the bone.
An Easter Holiday gone horribly wrong! Siblings, Christian and July, delve into the mystery of an urban legend involving the ghost of a missing girl called Melinda, while on vacation at their family’s summer home. The search for the truth eventually leads to a very unhappy ending for the brother-sister duo. You will be looking over your shoulder right through this horror story.
The Night Before Easter (2014)
The night before Easter turns out to be a bloody mess for a group of teens who are hunted by a lunatic in an Easter bunny costume. The storyline is basic and predictable but the actors deserve special mention and the film is definitely worth a watch. If you fancy celebrating at home with popcorn and shrill screams, this movie should be your Easter film of choice.
