David Ellis has made a name for himself directing some of the most memorable horror films around, including "Snakes on a Plane" and "The Final Destination." In his new film, "Shark Night 3D" (opening 9/2), Ellis unleashes the monsters of the deep onto an unsuspecting populace. The result is some awesomely bloody death scenes.
But Ellis is also a cinephile, and he was kind enough to pull together his own favorite animal-focused horror films. So without further ado, take it away David...
10. "The Fly" (1986)
Jeff Goldblum as a giant fly. What more can you ask for in a movie?
9. "Arachnophobia" (1990)
The '90s had so many great animal horror movies and this movie about a South American killer spider that hitches a ride in a coffin to the U.S. is one of them.
8. "The Ghost And The Darkness" (1996)
Based on a true story of two lions in Africa that killed 130 people over a nine-month period.

It's Friday the 13th, well the first and last of 2011. So it's obvious we need to do a Friday the 13th show. In the first part of the show we all came together and tried to come up with the 13 most defying moments of the series. (Yes, I know how cliche it was to have 13.) Mike and I really wanted to Steve Minor (Director of Friday the 13th part 2&3) to come on and explain a few things and tell his side of the story with Friday the 13th part 3. Un…...

It's 25 years since Day Of The Dead first hit screens, how do you feel it has influenced cinema?
Joe Pilato: "Well, to paraphrase The Beatles, it was 25 years ago today that George A. Romero taught the fans to play.

Why do you think the film has endured so long?...
