The arrival of WolfCop inspires us to take a look back at horror cinema's most unpredictable janitors, doctors, dentists and more...
Can we necessarily trust the dentist who stands over us with a tiny drill in his hand? Isn't the guy who's come round to install our cable television service just a bit too friendly for comfort? And the cop outside in his squad car - isn't he just a little bit, I don't know, hairy?
Some of cinema's darkest, most unpredictable and downright interesting characters often have the most mundane jobs, from teachers to photo developers and taxi drivers to school janitors. It's characters like these we're saluting here - some of them villainous, others strangely likeable despite their dark activities, while others are simply misunderstood.
So here's our pick of the most terrifying public sector workers in horror cinema, inspired by the imminent release of WolfCop - director...

Zombies? Comedy? Alan Tudyk? Ok!
Alan Tudyk, known to many for his portrayal of Wash in the TV series Firefly and the post-cancellation movie Serenity is about to enjoy some more horror comedy. Tudyk was last seen in the horror comedy Tucker & Dale vs. Evil - at least, if you caught it at Sundance or other film festivals - and will continue this trend with First Platoon, a zombie comedy with Tudyk playing "Rock Brannigan," leader a group of zombie hunters in the apocalyptic southwest.
Joining Tudyk are Arron Shiver (The Book of Eli) as "Pete Davis" and newcomer Jennifer Skyler as "Molly Mcguire" with Malcolm McDowell (Clockwork Orange) as "Rex Necro," Sid Haig (Night of the Living Dead 3D) as "Pa Jericho," and John Kassir as "Burke." Skyler, Shiver and Tudyk will undergo military training from Capt. Dale Dye (military consultant on Band of Brothers), which seems a little extreme for a zombie comedy,...
