Five Horror Movies that Resemble the Cleveland Browns 2009 Season

It could be worse.

Four words that usually become an ironic prophecy in any horror movie.

With Halloween upon us, and with the Browns sitting at a dismal 1-6, it’s appropriate to compare this team to several different horror movies that have graced the Silver Screen over the years.

Horror movies tap into our base fears and play up those fears to achieve a dramatic effect. That effect usually results in a scream or a jump and gets the adrenalin pumping.

Sports tap into our competitive nature and play up that competitiveness to achieve that adrenalin rush our day-to-day activities usually deny us.

The Browns 2009 season has resembled several horror movies. The Browns defense has given up more than 1,000 yards in its last two games while the offense has only gained 336 yards.

That’s not just bad, it’s terrifying.

Browns fans now are falling into two camps, those who counsel patience with a bad roster and lack of talent, and those who are sick of the excuses and want somebody to do SOMETHING positive with this team.

The former group believe head coach Eric Mangini needs more time and that it’s not all his fault. The latter believe Mangini is the root of all evil and only his head on a platter will release the demons that have possessed the team.

Whatever camp you fall in, here are five horror movies to watch on Halloween that resemble the 2009 Cleveland Browns.
