CarolineParNot Horror (or is it)???
#1
Has anyone seen ANYTHING in a movie that was not horror by genre but still had a SCARY or else UNNERVING moment that made you cringe, squirm or even scream?

examples....

1)the subway sequence in The WIZ - the growing puppets, the toothy garbage bins and the electrical wires that came out of *nowhere* to zap the Tin Man

2)Diary of a Wimpy Kid (while not proud to admit I saw it) the "Turn Around" song try-outs were ...well ...

Rolleyes...

I thought the ghost on the subway and the shadows draggin people to hell in "Ghost" were actually pretty creepy.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid had some really creepy moments in it... especially when the big brother tells his younger brother that story during Halloween. I leaned over to my friend and said, "What the hell? Did Tim Burton direct this scene?"

When I was younger I always thought the tunnel scene in Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory (the original of course) was fucking scary. Gene Wilder was def. THE MAN!

He was a deranged maniac.

Confusedexdev: I thought the same thing I got older but wondered as I got old if Gene Wilder's performance may have "influenced" Burton a tad? Maybe??

I'm sure it did. The river cruise is one of the best examples of that.

Does gremlins count? Spike was a scary mean bastard but I think that movie was meant for the younger crowd. Of course....I was young when it came out.

Gremlins was one of those films that pushed the R-rating because it was too scary and very violent. However, I think because of this and Temple of Doom... the MPAA decided to make PG-13. Gremlins can be pretty terrifying and I'm one to back that claim up. I hid under my bed a couple of times.

I remember thinking the scene in 'Fargo' when Peter Stormore hack's Steve Buscemi with the axe was pretty vicious... The Coen's did it again in 'Burn After Reading' anyone remember Malkovich going berserk with the hatchet or was it a hammer??

I watched Fargo night before last. (I've been weirdly in synch with some of y'all?) Hard to think of it as anything but comedy..... but I had completely forgotten about the wee Bruce Campbell cameo until I heard his voice, and screeched OH HEY THAT'S BRUCE across the room and scared my partner. Heh.

Horror period? Ya know...how they sync when you hang around the same females. This happens when you hang around the same horror fans.

Yup. Horror Menstruation.
