As 'Deliver Us from Evil' proves, when it comes to words that induce fear in the minds of moviegoers, “Evil” is one of the best.  Check out the wide range of films that have previously utilized this spine-chilling word.

The Evil That Men Do (1984) 

Proving that the only way to fight evil is with evil, a retired killer for hire comes out of retirement to kill a man who killed his hitman friend who was trying to kill the man who killed him when he got killed. That’s “Evil."

This Garry Marshall comedy tells the tale of how a beautiful woman persuades the meanest man in the West to switch careers, hopefully making him less “Evil.”

The House Where Evil Dwells (1982)

New Year’s Evil (1980) 

Turning America’s New Year’s Eve celebration into a celebratory butchering for a crazed killer is, in plain words, just “Evil”!

In this Gary Cooper flick a woman offers three Americans in Mexico money to save her husband who is trapped in a gold mine in Apache territory.  

Evil Under the Sun (1982)

Directed by Clint Eastwood, this off-the-wall film tells the story of how a magazine reporter stumbled upon the strangest Southern murder trial of all time.

House of Good and Evil (2013)  

If you are a young couple looking to buy a home, whatever you do, don’t buy one in the deep woods, otherwise you might end up like the couple in this flick and discover that the place is “Evil.”

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999) 

It wouldn’t be a full list of “Evil” movies without including the one and only Dr. Evil!  Originally titled “The Return of Dr. Evil” -- the film sent Austin on a mission to get back his mojo after the good doctor stole it. Yeah, baby, that’s “Evil”!
