Halloween Tribute: 10 Horror Movies With Disembodied Hands
Here comes the fourth article in my tribute to Halloween - each article featuring movies from a different horror sub-genre. For this article we're taking a look at a rather creepy movie monster...the disembodied hand. I'm sure the first thing that comes to mind when people hear "disembodied hand" is The Addams Family with the classic horror/comedy of Thing. Or maybe they think "Hey, what happened to my hand!!". Anyway, I always wanted to see the tunnels by which Thing moved through the Addams mansion. Did they consist of smooth, round tubes or perhaps they were just a series of long, wooden boxes with miniature ladders that led upstairs when needed. Maybe Thing had a pneumatic system that sucked him through plastic tubes from location to location? I guess I'll never solve that brainteaser. Of course, the unsolvable mystery of Thing's transportation routes won't stop us from looking at a batch of films starring his cousins (and in some cases Thing himself), now will it? However, as you might expect, most hands running around without a body have a bit of an attitude problem - they're rarely as nice or as helpful as Thing. So with that fact in mind, here are 10 movies, in no particular order, containing mean and evil disembodied hands.
