Just in time for Halloween, our producers collected their favorite spooky, creepy, and downright scary videos to share with you.

|     1:56    |     101 VIDEO SHORTS    | The World's Biggest Spider, Vampire Fish, and Other Real-Life Monsters If you thought monsters weren’t real, think again! We rounded up some hairy and scary animals to feature in this freaky video. Goliath birdeater tarantulas that liquefy their victims’ insides? Check. Zombie snails that have their brains controlled by parasitic worms? Nat Geo delivers. But don’t worry; these animals are probably more afraid of you than you are of them. —Jed Winer, producer/editor WATCH NOW SHARE

|     1:55    |     NEWS    | Snail Battles for Survival Against Creepy Flatworm I can’t think of a more terrifying fate than slowly being devoured by a slimy flatworm. The snail’s desperate struggle is pointless—flatworms excrete a sticky compound that begins to break down and digest the snail simultaneously. It’s just one more reminder of how creepy nature can be. —Nick Lunn, producer/editor WATCH NOW SHARE

|     4:10    |     SHORT FILM SHOWCASE    | This Amazing Musical ‘Coffin Club’ Will Make You Want to Join Would you build your own coffin? Every week, seniors in New Zealand are having the time of their lives doing exactly that. These DIY “coffin clubs” allow members to cope with death and loss while bringing some fun and personality to their own final journey. In this docu-musical extravaganza, meet the charming members of the Coffin Club as they share their life (and death) philosophy in a toe-tapping song-and-dance number. I dare you not to smile. —Lauren Leadmon, associate producer WATCH NOW SHARE

|     1:20    |     TRAVEL    | 5 Creepy Ghost Towns You Can Actually Visit From Colorado to Namibia, ghost towns spring up in a variety of places—though usually for the same sad reason. Collapsed economies and depleted environmental resources (and perhaps a murder or two) have left these towns eerily empty, but you can visit them yourself if you’re looking for a spooky thrill. —Rachel Brown, associate producer WATCH NOW SHARE

|     1:30    |     NEWS    | Watch a Daring Rescue of Trapped Black Cat When some people see black cats, they fear that bad luck will soon follow—but the black cat in this video was the one who seemed to have run into a bit of bad luck. It was stuck in a pipe that was 25 feet down in Venice, California, crying for help. See how an animal rescue team reacted when they located the cat. Maybe black cats aren't bad luck after all. —Richie Hertzberg, producer/editor WATCH NOW SHARE
