An absolutely nasty beast with big pointy teeth that completely ravaged King Arthur’s men in their quest for the Holy Grail. 1) Monty Python And The Holy Grail (1975)įinally, there’s only one rabbit that could possibly top this list. It’s a camp classic that must be seen the be believed and the best possible way to giggle yourself silly while shoving handfuls of Cadbury’s eggs into your face on Sunday. However, there’s no denying that this is accidentally one of the funniest horror flicks ever made. To say those attempts at bunny scares failed is an understatement. As if that wasn’t conceptually stupid enough to fail, the filmmakers decided to get their chilling effects by filming actual rabbits on miniature sets (along with the occasional awkward human-in-a-bunny costume). It’s an absolutely wacky horror movie about giant mutant rabbits attacking a small town. If that’s what the Easter Bunny looked like, houses would be bolted shut every Easter to ensure the thing didn’t get anywhere near the children no matter how many delicious chocolate eggs were involved.Īpparently 1972 was the year of horrifying rabbit movies, you guys! Anyone who didn’t get their kicks from Watership Down had Night Of The Lepus to enjoy as one of the only horror movies ever to think bunnies could possibly be scary, and one of the defacto best horror movies in the genre. Designed by genius make up artist Rob Bottin ( The Thing), this bunny is a big rubber nightmare that looks like a cartoon brought to life by Satan. At one point when the boy decides to show off his creepy creation powers, he makes legendary character actor Kevin McCarthy perform a magic trick that involves a giant demonic bunny popping out of a hat. In Dante’s vision, that leads to a hellish house designed to look like a demonic episode of Looney Tunes. It appears in Joe Dante’s wonderful short about a young boy who can twist reality with his mind. This evil rabbit makes only the briefest of appearances in the troubled n’ underrated 80s cinematic adaptation of The Twilight Zone, but boy-oh-boy does it ever make an impact. Sure, the bunny isn’t the major selling point in Sexy Beast, but it sure is a welcome addition to the party. The ratty costume design and evocatively creepy way director Jonathan Glazer shoots this freaky big-ears is absolutely chilling. It first appears in a dream taunting our hero and later seems to be a demon of sorts in a deliciously twisted ending. However, for the purposes of this list let’s focus on the evil rabbit. It’s bleakly funny, stylishly shot, cleverly written, extraordinarily acted, and features some of the finest swearing ever committed to film. This absolutely brilliant 2000 crime movie with Ben Kingsley and Ray Winstone needs to be seen by everyone for a variety of reasons.

So, to celebrate the only holiday surrounding a magically evil rabbit, we here at CGM decided to provide you all with a list of the top ten most frightening bunnies in film history. There must be some sort of nefarious angle to the Easter Bunny. How does that damn bunny benefit from the arrangement anyhow? Surely the bunny is evil. However with it being Easter, the concept of a magic rabbit breaking into people’s houses is in the air and it’s time that we all acknowledge the creepiness of it. A 96 hour religious holiday turned into an opportunity to gorge on novelty chocolate. No, I’m not sure what the connection is between those two things. Good news everybody! Easter is here again! That’s right, it’s time to celebrate the death of Jesus by gobbling up chocolate eggs pooped out by an imaginary giant rabbit.
