Everybunny’s Scared of These Films: A Terrifying Rabbit Movie Roundup
Easter is coming up so we're here to remind you that bunnies can be… no, are scary.
If you don’t believe me, let me quote Modern Master of Horror (& Comedy) Jordan Peele:
“Rabbits, they’re supposed to be cute. On paper, they’re adorable, lovable rabbits,” he said. “Have you ever gotten close to a rabbit? You can tell in their eyes that they have the brain of a sociopath. If you put a rabbit brain in a human body, you have Michael Myers, the killer. They have no empathy.”

Anya from Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s musical episode: “Once More With Feeling” also let her feelings be known in this song:
And now, with that in mind, we'd like to share with you some of our favorite scary bunnies and bunny movies:
Monty Python and the Holy Grail: (1975)
One of our favorite Scary Bunnies is the Fearsome Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. He even made Sir Robin soil his armor. We've got some Killer Rabbit Slippers, created in its honor! (Shop if you dare!)
Night of the Lepus (1972)

Donnie Darko (2001)
This film is a dark psychological thriller starring Jake Gyllenhaal that you’ll be watching over and over to see what you missed the first (and second) time. Frank, a mysterious figure in a rabbit costume who informs him that the world will end in just over 28 days, is an image that will haunt you for a long, long time.
Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005)
Wallace and his loyal (and much smarter) dog, Gromit, set out to discover the mystery behind the garden sabotage that plagues their village and threatens the annual giant vegetable growing contest. And what do they find? The fearsome Were-Rabbit! But who is the Were-Rabbit really?

Watership Down (1978)
Nature, red in tooth and claw. - Alfred Lord Tennyson
Many parents have made the mistake of thinking that an animated movie about bunnies is a perfect thing to show their little kids, damaging their psyches with blood soaked foam dripping from the teeth of these warring bunnies.
In addition to our favorites above, there are a host of Serial Killers in bunny costumes movies that have appeared in the last decade or so:
Easter Bunny Bloodbath (2010) & Easter Bunny Bloodbath 2: No More Tears (2020)


Serial Rabbit (2005) and its 5 or so sequels...

Peter Rottentail (2004)
