10 Scariest Movie Paintings

10. Miss Cobb And Her Dolls - Tales From The Hood

An underrated horror anthology from the mid nineties, Tales from the Hood continues decades after its release to receive a little love from critics, which may be based more on its title than anything in the film proper.

Is it supposed to be a silly horror spoof or a serious horror movie, asked critics who somehow understood the idea of a campy horror comedy a few years earlier when it came in the form of HBO's mega hit Tales from the Crypt.

But whilst Spike Lee's producer credit wasn't enough to get this 1995 classic the credit it deserves amongst horror aficionados, the film does feature one of the genre's creepiest paintings.

Featured in the segment KKK Comeuppance, the painting is question is a very rare phenomenon in horror, that being a heroic haunted painting that the audience are rooting for.

An image of a hoodoo witch surrounded by her dolls, this one haunts an unapologetic white supremacist until his bitter and brutal end in this darkly comic and cathartic horror anthology segment. Deeply creepy as well as funny, the sequence mines serious scares from this seemingly innocuous painting and will leave you rooting for its witchy subject to get her vengeance.
