10 Horror Movies With Terrifying Surprises

10. Standing On A Submerged Corpse - Next Of Kin

Not to be confused with the Patrick Swayze and Liam Neeson movie of the same name, 1982's Next of Kin is a spooky Australian horror effort from Tony Williams.

The main plot of this picture centres on Linda Stevens (Jacki Kerin) as she inherits a posh retirement home following the death of her mother. Once arriving at the swanky-sounding Montclare residence, Linda is haunted by visions and the very real death of some of the home's inhabitants.

For one such resident, he has the rather gnarly surprise of finding a dead body submerged in a bathtub. In this instance, the finder is a chap called Lance and the 'findee' (see: corpse) is an old boy named Mr. Collins.

Entering the bathroom to take a soak of his own, the steam in the room means that Lance doesn't realise there's a body in the tub until he steps in and puts his foot on the head of Mr. Collins. And such a chill-inducing surprise is all of this for poor Lance, the next time we see him he's being treated by the local doctor after having suffered a stroke.
