Some horror movies really are shocking. Yep, they are that bad. But there are some that have contain genuine shocks – moments that really make your jaw drop and your toes genuinely curl.
They are rare these days, admittedly. After decades of all kinds of horror movies, the ability to shock viewers has become harder and harder.
We have just about seen every way a ridiculously hard to kill maniac killer with superhero strength can kill a cheerleader. We have usually already guessed who the mystery killer is.
Plus there are only so many times you can watch someone have their insides ripped out by some slavering beast. Read More >>>
Death and zombies, death and zombies – go together like a horse and carriage. Or so Frank Sinatra did not sing, ever.
But he should have done, because they are a great combination.
Like fish and chips or Madonna and the chronic desire to plunge nails into your eyes.
Of course, that’s because zombies are actually dead, but still somehow manage to die again and deal out death.
(Before you start, we know they are actually ‘undead’).

From unstoppable robots with Austrian accents to psychopathic Cuban gangsters, it seems we cannot get enough of badasses on the silver screen.
But what is it about them that we love so much? They are not exactly the chatty types. In fact, they tend not to have too many friends and take themselves a little bit too seriously. And let’s not even mention their taste in clothes.
But, then again, wouldn’t you love to be one of the movie characters listed below for just one day?

It’s almost impossible to genuinely surprise and shock people in movie theatres these days.
We’ve already seen it all. We suspect every member of the cast of being the murderer. We’ve developed strong stomachs after seeing just about every imaginable way an unstoppable maniac with a huge knife can kill horny teenagers. Even most of the sexual taboos have become mainstream and boring by today’s standards.
Anyway, we may feel pretty unshockable now, but here at hecklerspray we wanted to pay homage to the groundbreaking, WTF moments that really had us staring blankly at the screen in disbelief. These clips are comprised of dastardly plot twists, sickening scenes of deaths or mutilation and, well, moments that really had us questioning the director’s sanity. Enjoy. Just beware there are serious spoilers in here.

Let’s rewind to another, simpler, stupider time: the 1980s.
It was a time when some things happened, some stuff did some stuff and some naughty drugs were taken a lot by high-powered businessmen in high-powered business suits.
It was also a time when the original The Evil Dead movie came out, made for around $375,000, starring nobodies, with a sense of humour and receiving a great deal of positive remarks from the critics. Fast forward to the other year and Sam Raimi, director of The Evil Dead has just released Spider-Man 3; a huge-budget summer blockbuster, starring some of Hollywood’s biggest names and courting some very mixed reviews.

Violence in movies – terrible, isn’t it. No! We all like to see a good old-fashioned scrap once in a while.
Don’t even try to deny it. You may try and act like you abhor violence in movies, but deep down the sight of two people kicking the crap out of each other really gets you going.
Well, hecklerspray understands. There’s been many a time when we have pictured ourselves beating Sting to a bloody pulp. See kids, violence is fine as long as it’s in your mind, not on the streets. Anyway, to celebrate the fact that we all love to see someone evil get a good hiding, we have come up with our 10 favourite fight scenes in films.
And if you disagree, we’ll come around your house…
