Kim Morgan's Animal Attack Roundup

Over at Sunset Gun, the excellent Kim Morgan rounds up a bestiary of creatures gone wild -- the full complement of WHEN ANIMALS ATTACK flicks that preceded SNAKES ON A PLANE.

From the classy (Hitchock's THE BIRDS) to the traumatic (JAWS) to silly (FROGS), Morgan has seen them all--and she's included wonderfully cheesy posters and stills, too. Can anyone tell me why Joan Collins is smiling while she's being eaten by a giant insect in EMPIRE OF THE ANTS? (Maybe it's the other way around?

One fan points out that she omitted the must-see bunny-rage horror of NIGHT OF THE LEPUS, in which mutant rabbits terrorize a mining town. No amount of low angle and forced perspective shots can disguise the fact that the monsters are just little rabbits.
