The ghostly spectre of Halloween is looming over us, breathing its icy, heavily booze-smelling breath down our necks. As such, it’s time to look at the darker side of movies; the real spine-chilling horror flicks. Mrs. Doubtfire, Frozen, Dumb and Dumber - terrifying. Well, at least they are in these fan-made trailers. See, when you cut together certain scenes from any movie and dub over a menacing soundtrack, you can make even the most innocent tales feel like a sweaty-faced nightmare. Don’t believe me? Oh you. All you need to do is scroll through this selection of family movies recut as horror films. And do read to the end for an amazing recut of sweet TV show Friends as a brutal slasher film.
