Shovel

A shovel is a handy tool that makes digging a heck of a lot easier. Shovels appear quite frequently in horror fiction. Often they are used when digging graves. In mummy-related fare, they are also seen being used by archaeologists excavating ancient tombs. Sometimes shovels can make useful weapons. For example, in the 2006 film Hatchet, the demented killer Victor Crowley uses a shovel to decapitate a young man named Shawn.
