Hollywood actress Jessica Alba has recreated some of cinema's most famous horror films for a new photoshoot.

The pregnant star was asked to pick her top five horror movies for the spread in Latina magazine and was photographed recreating classic poses from each film.

Alba's choices saw her assuming iconic roles from Rosemary's Baby, Psycho, Scream, The Exorcist and Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds.

And the 26-year-old was happy to indulge her love of creepy pictures - insisting horror movies are a great way to get intimate with a new love.

She says, "When you're just starting to get used to the opposite sex, it's a great icebreaker." (LR/WNWCTIS/TN)
