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.
Kids movies can be scary…
The Movie: The Brave Little Toaster
The Scene: The opening dream sequence where a clown dressed as a firefighter leans close to the camera and says (while his lips move around his teeth) “run”. The image alone is terrifying, but the creepy whisper voice the clown speaks with is awful.
Not a horror movie…
BUT! As a kid, Sharp Tooth terrified me. Especially during the fight with Little Foot’s mom and when he chased the kiddo dinosaurs into the thorn bushes.
October 1st movie is…
The scene represented here is when a Killer Klown from outer space drinks the blood of a human trapped in a cotton candy ball thing with a silly straw.
This was the first scene I ever saw from this movie (it was on TV at the time) and not only did the klown designs terrify me, but the idea they were trapping humans to drink their blood…
Horrifying.
Last year…
For the month of October I (poorly) drew scenes from horror movies that scared me, shocked me, or stuck with me from childhood or beyond.
This was relegated to Instagram, but this year I’m sharing as many platforms as possible….mostly because the other list I did was horror books on my Twitter account and I forgot to make that list and seeing as how it’s October…yeah, just gonna do the movie one.
Anybut, the next post will be the first (poorly) drawn scene.
These will be in no particular order or rank. Also, there will be a few movies that aren’t technically horror movies, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t have scarring scenes.
