OUTLANDER!!!

The Movie: Children of the Corn

The Scene: The opening where the children murder all of the adults.

Horror anthologies are my favorite…

The Movie: V/H/S/2

The Scene: Actually one of the shorts in this horror anthology. I can’t remember the name but it’s the one with the eye implant and ghosts. Bottom line, I don’t like things that happen in the ocular area.

I see dead people…

Too cliche? Oh well.

The Movie: The Sixth Sense

The Scene: The vomiting girl in Cole’s tent. The build up to this scare was beautifully horrifying. And yes, I know I misquoted the scene but it was 2 in the morning when I drew this and I wanted to go to bed.

Guilt is a helluva drug…

The Movie: The Ritual

The Scene: The first glimpse of the forest god. All you see is a hand and brief flashes of a monstrous body. This was a great find on Netflix. Highly recommended.

Buzzzzzzzzz….

The Movie: Mosquito

The Scene: Okay, not really a scene, but the sound of the mosquitos approaching. Sent chills up my spine.

Stop calling me Jerry…

The Movie: Sphere

The Scene: The reveal of Edmund’s crushed body. TO THIS DAY I can’t watch this scene without closing my eyes. The practical effects of the crushed body was terrifying to me as a kid and it still stands up today, in my honest opinion.

What killed her, you ask? Well, I could tell you. Or you could go watch this movie yourself…warning though, it’s a bit slow in the beginning, BUT it is based on a Michael Crichton novel so take that for what it is.

DAW-ROTHY….

The Movie: Return to Oz

The Scene: Introduction of the Wheelers. These guys terrified me as a child. Honorable mention is the scene a Wheeler falls into the Deadly Desert and turns into sand.

Winstooooon….

The Movie: Ghostbusters II

The Scene: The one in the subway. Everyone has fun with the echoes in the tunnel until Winston’s voice doesn’t bounce back. But something else says, “Winston”…and then they’re surrounded by a bunch of heads on spikes.

It’s starting to get spoooooky…

The Movie: Rocky Horror Picture Show

The Scene: Frankenfurter (spelling?) pulls away the dinner table cloth to reveal Eddie (Meat Loaf)’s dead, disemboweled body.

Context: My brother and I had watched a special behind the scenes/history of the making of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I was…8…9…10…somewhere around there. Anybut, after the behind the scenes/history of the making of, they showed the whole movie uncut.

Everything was fine, great. Until Tim Curry pulled that dining table cloth away. My young eyes couldn’t EXACTLY comprehend what I was seeing, but I knew I didn’t like it. I had nightmares about Tim Curry as Frankenfurter (spelling?!) serving my disemboweled bits for dinner for about a week.

LOVE the movie though.

P.S.- I didn’t get to watch the bedroom scenes when I was a kid. Our parents made sure of that.

Somewhere out there…

The Movie: An American Tail

The Scene: The reveal of the Giant Mouse of Minsk. The animation style not only terrifies the cats, but it also terrified child me.

P.S. – this is the last kids movie. We start getting real spooky tomorrow.
