Fancy doing something a little different this Halloween? If the usual horror flicks have been exhausted and even straying off of the beaten path has gotten a tad tiresome, there's still a way to breath new life into your existing library of chilling classics - the humble DVD Easter egg. Somewhat forgotten now that the novelty of watching films on a shiny disc has worn off, there's nonetheless a treasure trove of weird, hilarious and spooky extra content to be found that in them you've never seen before. A lot of bonus features serve to take off the sheen of a movie a little, to give you a peek into the filmmaking process that's doubly warranted when it's a horror flick and you need some suspension of disbelief to get scared. So just bear that in mind as you check out some fan-friendly in-jokes, discover deleted scenes you never knew existed, give yourself a bit of a boost after watching a particularly gruelling horror classic. You'll probably need it to be honest. From black-and-white classics to Video Nasties to the current crop of slickly produced murderous fare and all points in between, here are the twenty best horror film DVD Easter eggs.
