All you slacker stoners beware, they say idle hands are the devil’s playground. This idea came to fruition in the hilarious 1999 comedy/horror film, Idle Hands, a film that follows the life of lazy dude Anton Tobias whose right hand becomes possessed with murderous intent. When he finally realizes his hand is possessed and has already killed his parents, he cuts off his right arm, and the hand slips away and goes on a killing spree. Both comedy and campy slasher-flick moments ensue.

The movie culminates at the high school Halloween dance, where Tobias and his two pals, dead-alive already ( Seth Green and Elden Henson), go to find his missing mortal hand and save Tobias’ girl-next-door crush, Molly (Jessica Alba), from having the hand drag her soul to the netherworld at midnight.

Check out the rad scene with the Offspring as the house band and eyebrow-raising dance moves from Alba, who is, of course, dressed up as an angel.
