1. The Damned Thing: Tobe Hooper

Twenty-four years ago, outside a small Texas town, young Kevin Reddle watched helplessly as his oilman father brutally slaughtered his mother before being torn apart by an invisible force. Today the county sheriff, Kevin (Sean Patrick Flanery of THE BOONDOCK SAINTS) remains haunted by memories of that night and the fear that "the damned thing" may someday return. Now as the citizens of Cloverdale explode into a homicidal frenzy, the one man who has uncovered the truth is about to meet his own horrific destiny. Marisa Coughlan (SUPER TROOPERS) and Ted Raimi (DRAG ME TO HELL) co-star in this blood-soaked shocker written by Richard Christian Matheson from the classic short story by Ambrose Bierce.

2. Family: John Landis

It's a beautiful day in suburbia where mild-mannered bachelor Harold Thompson (George Wendt of CHEERS) is happily at work in his basement building the perfect family. But when a young couple moves in next door, Harold sets his sights on the sexy young wife (Meredith Monroe of TV's CRIMINAL MINDS). In a sunshine world of picket fences and manicured lawns, is it ever possible to know what gruesome plans are percolating in the minds of your neighbors? Matt Keeslar (SCREAM 3) co-stars in this grisly black comedy with a killer twist from Director John Landis (AN AMERICAN WAREWOLF IN LONDON, ANIMAL HOUSE) and Writer Brent Hanley (FRAILITY).

3. The V Word: Ernest R. Dickerson

For two geeky best friends who've only experienced carnage via their video games, it's the ultimate late night dare: ever seen a real dead guy? But when the pair breaks into a creepy local mortuary, they unleash a ferocious ghoul (Michael Ironside of SCANNERS, STARSHIP TROOPERS) who's hungry to share a few depraved urges of his own. Even if these pals-for-life can resist a violent suburban blood-spree, is there any peer pressure more horrific than that of the undead? Jodelle Ferland (THE CABIN IN THE WOODS) co-stars in this grisly twist on teenage vampirism written by series creator Mick Garris.

4. Sounds Like: Brad Anderson

For call center supervisor Larry Pearce (Chris Bauer of TRUE BLOOD), listening is a way of life. His days are spent monitoring hundreds of tech support phone conversations where his ultra-sensitive ears attuned to every nuance of voice and sound. But in the months following his young son's tragic death, Larry's hearing intensifies until it becomes virtually superhuman. Now simple noises around him have amplified into a cacophony of torment. And as Larry slowly begins to lose his grip on reality, he must take violent action to quiet the deafening clamor. In a world where nothing screams louder than the madness of grief, how far will one man go to find the ultimate paradise of absolute silence?

5. Pro-Life: John Carpenter

58m

For the dedicated staff of an isolated women's clinic, the ultimate nightmare is waiting to explode. Trapped inside is a terrified pregnant 15-year-old girl. Lurking outside, her crazed anti-abortion activist father (Ron Perlman of HELLBOY, TV's SONS OF ANARCHY) and heavily armed brothers are ready to smash their way in. In this health-center-turned-slaughterhouse, there is only one certainty – there will be hell to pay. Emmanuelle Vaugier (SAW II, SMALLVILLE) and Mark Feuerstein (TV's ROYAL PAINS) co-star in this graphic and provocative shocker directed by John Carpenter (HALLOWEEN FRANCHISE).

6. Pelts: Dario Argento

58m

Meat Loaf stars as Jake Feldman, a short-tempered furrier struggling to build a small-time business while being tormented by his obsession for a sexy stripper. But when a sadistic backwoods trapper (John Saxon of NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET) kills a strange group of pet raccoons, Jake knows their luxurious hides could make a coat that will change his fortunes forever. Only these are no ordinary pelts: Everyone who comes in contact with the cursed furs is soon driven to unspeakable acts of self-mutilation and extreme violence. Even if Jake can now possess the flesh he desperately covets, what horrific final price will he pay for the skin he's in?
