TOP 10 ANIMAL HORRORS

Bat
5. BAT

Bats get more silver screen time than any other animal in the horror movie genre. Classic tales like Bram Stokers' Dracula helped build the bat's scary reputation as blood-sucking killers. However, out of the nearly 1,000 different species, only three are actually vampire bats that drink blood. Some of the scarier things people associate with bats aren't actually true, so to set the record straight: they're most active at night and tend to spend the rest of their time in caves hanging out (upside down, of course) — sounds like the perfect opportunity for a rush of blood to the head!
