10 Films That Could Easily Be Converted into Horrors

3. 101 Dalmatians

Hey, everyone loves Dalmatians, right? Or, at least they do until all 101 of them go rabid, Pongo coming down with a right nasty case of rabies and passing it along to his pups. The remains of Anita get eaten up, and Roger gets turned into sausage. The pups then wreak havoc all over London, Disney songs intercut with horrific images of diseased canines mauling everyone from Jasper to Sergeant Tibbs. Cruella De Vil, Cruella De Vil, she€™s got a shotgun, and she's ready to kill! De Vil is vindicated in this version for her love of hunting animals for their pelts, and goes after the dogs for the sake of humanity (and fashion of course, darling). Thanks to the horror version of 101 Dalmatians, kids learn that you should always keep your pets away from other infected animals, lest they go on a blood-soaked killing spree. €œR €“ A €“ B! I €“ E - S! S €“ U €“ C €“K - S! Rabies sucks! (Rabies sucks)! Rabies sucks! (Rabies sucks)! It€™s the disease that makes us wanna cry, cry, cry!€
