I think they would look better shot vertical.

My first thoughts when seeing these was "Not creepy, but peaceful" So when I read that you wanted a "horror movie appeal" to them I would have to say you did not accomplish this. More dramatic lighting, harsh shadows, etc, this would have helped you along the lines of being "creepy"

#1 looks underexposed. #2 is nice, well composed.

Go back with some strobes and maybe a few gels for some cool lighting effects.

Sometimes a mood can owe a lot to the camera/lens used.

This guy's work is amazing:

I think these statues have great potential for what you are going for but I might recommend the vertical aspect too and not cutting off the arm (like in #1) and part of the top of the head (#2).
