This fantastic horror-themed photo shoot was first published in Entertainment Weekly in October 2004. Many of these stills have quotes from famous horror films. I've always been a fan of Sarah Michelle Geller's, especially her work on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer television program but even in B-movies like The Return.

I remember this shoot well. Got the issue.
I was a HUGE Buffy fan back in the day.
I never saw these. Thanks, J.D., for sharing them.
Mark Salisbury:
Yeah, I have all the season box sets. Haven't watched an episode in ages as I kinda OD'd on them for awhile.
le0pard13:
No probs. Enjoy!
I'm not even really a Geller fan but I LOVED this shoot, and kept my copy of the EW issue it was in! So glad you posted this.
I've never actually seen these before. Very awesome. I love SMG. She's beautiful. Happy Halloween!
Will Errickson:
