Casting notice…

The Movie: Audition

The Scene: The bag. That’s when this film changes gears and keeps going 100 until the very end.

Seven Days…

The Movie: The Ring

The Scene: Revealing the dead girl in the closet. The sound design of that scene is nightmare fuel.

She’s coming…

The Movie: Mama

The Scene: Anytime Mama is onscreen. Javier Botet (mama) is a fantastic creature actor. He’s creating new nightmares with his gangly body.

Some things don’t stay dead…

The Movie: The Grudge

The Scene: When Kayako (the grudge ghost) crawls down the stairs. It was always jarringly creepy, not to mention the sound she makes throughout the movie.

That town…

The Movie: Silent Hill: Revelation

The Scene: The mannequin monster. The way it moves and the sound it makes…>shiver<

This wasn’t a great movie, but it had its moments. The mannequin monster was a creepy creature that wasn’t on the screen for long. Also, baby Jon Snow in a not particularly strong role…but again, not a particularly strong script.

Sometimes they turn purple…

The Movie: House

The Scene: When a beautiful woman turns into a large, purple, monster/goblin thing. But really it’s the voice…

Whatever voice you’re imagining…it’s worse.

Always check before you sit…

The Movie: Ghoulies II

The Scene: Where a ghoulie attacks a man on the toilet… from inside the toilet.

They’re copying us…

The Movie: Mimic

The Scene: When the characters make the realization that the giant bugs are mimicking their only predators…US!

I still remember seeing the commercial for this movie when I was younger. I wanted to see it soooo bad! But my parents thought it would be too scary so I had to wait until it came out for rental at >gasp< Blockbuster.

Be my victim…

The Movie: Candyman: Farewell To The Flesh

The Scene: Candyman killing the mother. I saw this when I was really little and it made me scared to wear a white shirt. I was scared I’d see blood and Candyman would be standing behind me. Not even joking.
