A hilarious (and disturbing) remote-controlled "Devil Baby" took to the streets of NYC in a viral marketing campaign for upcoming horror movie Devil's Due. The movie is slated to debut this Friday, Jan. 17.
The YouTube video shows a pint-sized demon child roaming the streets of New York in a carriage, seemingly by itself. When concerned citizens approach the carriage, the robot-baby look-alike jumps up and lets out a blood curdling scream that's fitting for any horror movie. The ultra-realistic child also chases people down the street, projectile vomits, and flips off the police. The reactions are priceless, though, as with any viral video, there's a good chance that they're also staged."

Viral marketing pranks have become increasingly popular over the last few years, especially in horror movies. In October, creators of the classic horror flick Carrie staged a telekinetic prank in a coffee shop as promotion for their new remake.

Clowns are scary enough on their own. In this 1988 horror flick, we're talking about aliens that look like clowns -- that also have killer shadow-puppet magic skills. Who came up with this stuff, anyway?
Forget about the rib-ripping scene, in which we learn our insides look like a mudslide when pouring out of our body. The scariest part is at 1:25, when we discover that the living dead will dig for your gold. 'Snot funny.
How can you tell things are going to get weird in this 1986 film? The screaming, pants-less woman is not even the most questionable part of the clip. Who was that robo-mall cop thanking, anyway?
This 1990 horror-comedy B-movie is so hilariously bad, it has developed a cult following. This scene in particular is a classic, and needs no explanation as to why.
This is what happens when you bake the spirit of Gary Busey into a holiday treat. It's also why we can't have nice things. The 2005 movie is so bad, we couldn't possibly pick one scene.
We all have to start somewhere in our careers, and for Johnny Depp, it was in 1984, when he lost a battle with a bed. The old and clunky technology just makes this scene better/worse.
The special effects in 1978 were just incredible. We're at a loss for words over the giant, evil tomato in this film.
Skip to 1:50 if you don't find enjoyment in obnoxiously rich people talking about their "humble" Christmas.
This 1986 film features a group of travelers who (surprise) took a wrong turn. One of the more unlucky guests falls into a sticky situation with all kinds of "WTF?" going on.
There are so many things to say about this 2010 masterpiece, it's hard to know where to start. Maybe it's the acting. Maybe it's the choice of weaponry. Or maybe it's the unfathomable use of special effects. Regardless, this important piece of cinema is so mind-blowingly confounding, it would bring Hitchcock to tears … of some form, anyway.
Next time you see a rainbow, you might think twice about chasing the gold. This 1993 B-movie is a pogo-to (sorry) choice among old horror comedies.
The horror in this 1987 film comes mostly from the fact that somewhere, at some point, someone read this part of the script and thought, "Yeah. Flying frisbee death. That seems legit." And then, it went to theaters.
Technically, this 1974 film doesn't fall into the vein of "horror." But this is the Internet's choice for "Worst Death Scene Ever," so it feels wrong not to include.
