For some reason, Eastertime is a relatively neglected holiday in the horror genre. Maybe it’s because other holidays make more sense to horror filmmakers. Halloween is an obvious choice and there’s a tonne of Yuletide horror movies out there too – Black Christmas, Krampus and Silent Night, Deadly Night to name but a few.
But poor old Easter hardly gets a look in which is kind of perplexing given the zombie-like nature of Jesus’ resurrection is ripe for the picking … if a bit blasphemous.
Yep, the pickings are pretty slim when it comes to Easter-themed horror movies but luckily for What Culture’s horror fans we’ve selected the very best for your perusing pleasure.
Be warned, though: most of these films are very tongue-in-cheek but that’s kind of to be expected when you’re dealing with a holiday that bizarrely combines the resurrection of Jesus with giant bunny rabbits and chocolate eggs. It is a pretty confusing holiday after all.
So while these may not be the best horror movies you’ll ever see, they are the best Easter horrors you’re likely to see … if biblical zombies and killer bunnies aplenty are your thing at least.
