10 Terrifying Moments In Terrible Horror Movies

10. Bye Bye, Bisected Lawyer - 13 Ghosts

This instance of Ghost Ship Syndrome actually comes from, appropriately enough, the director of Ghost Ship, whose insistence that “CGI ghosts are going to be huge, trust me” saw them garner some incredible casts for some awful films in the early 2000’s.

Yes, Ghost Ship may have boasted the Usual Suspect himself Gabriel Byrne, but only this 2001 effort can claim to have brought together TV’s Monk Tony Shaloub and Scream’s Matthew Lillard at last for some ghostbusting.

Unfortunately, said ghostbusting occurs in an over-developed mansion filled with uninteresting characters following an unoriginal plot in a film whose editor appears to bear a grudge against the epilepsy sufferers of the world. But beneath all the headache inducing quick cuts, there’s a moment well worth watching when a sleazy lawyer is brutally bisected by the titular spooks.

Yes, you may need the aid of a pause button to see these ghosts clearly, but the design of these baddies is undeniably original—i.e utterly f***ing terrifying, even for hardened horror fiends, and this one kill wherein a pair of doors split the attorney in two where he stands, is unforgettably gruesome and inventive.

Shame the surrounding film is more notable for its insufferable editing than anything else, mind.
