10 Most Terrifying Horror Movie Dream Sequences

10. Silver Bullet - A Church Attack

To kick things off we have 1985’s ‘Silver Bullet’, based on Stephen King’s novella Cycle of the Werewolf which was released just a couple of years prior.

As is often the set-up for werewolf movies, this one kicks off in a small, quiet town. A series of gruesome murders in the town put the locals on edge, leading them to band together and form a vigilante neighbourhood watch. The local Sheriff and the Reverend try to dissuade people from taking justice into their own hands, but to no avail.

In wake of this, the Reverend suffers a nightmare in which he is presiding over a service in his church when the congregation becomes rowdy, soon transforming into beasts before overcoming him and ripping him apart.

It’s a bad dream that rolls many of the werewolf-related fears into one neat package: the horror of seeing those you know and care about become monsters, that of a safe place becoming a site of great fear, and the experience of being torn to bits are all hit on here.

Luckily for him, he gets to awaken from this dream - which is more than can be said for some of his fellow villagers.
