• From electrical appliance’s nightmares to the horrors of drug addiction we look at
15 scary scenes in non-horror movies.
15 – Seeing your Brother Beaten to death - Casino,
• This is one horrific scenes that really relies on how well you get along with your
siblings.
• In this mobster epic Joe Pesci finds himself on the wrong end of a baseball bat and so
does his brother.
The brother is beaten to death while Pesci has to watch and then is thrown into a shallow
grave with him.
Jeez.
• No matter how annoying your brother is this is one that sticks as a horrifying outcome
for anyone and being buried alive with your dead sibling’s body horrifying.
14 – Willem De Foe “flirting” – Wild at Heart,
• Yep that old chestnut of a film that teams up Nicolas Cage and David Lynch also features
one of the most disturbing performances from the ever scary looking De Foe.
• When the young lovers find themselves at a hotel in the middle of nowhere they run
into the man with worst teeth ever…who then has this rape-y moment with Laura Dern that
will make your soul cringe.
• If you had trouble looking at De Foe’s face already this is one that will make you
vomit the next time you see it.
God somebody get him a dentist.
13 – The incinerator – Toy Story 3, • This is that odd mix of scary and sad
that could only come from Pixar, they are pretty much experts at it.
• After falling to their doom into a garbage incinerator we get this terrible image of
the toys trying desperately to climb the ever falling waterfall of trash and failing.
There’s a moment where they are resign themselves to their fiery fate which i’m positive had
more than one 8 year old on the edge of their seat with fear.
• Please I’m pretty sure there were 30 year olds sitting on the edge as well.
All for the fate of a bunch of toys.
12 – Brain Parasites – Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan,
• Star Trek doesn’t delve into Galaxy of Terror shenanigans often but when it does
it always comes out as terrifying as with this crawling brain parasites.
• This scene that re-introducers us to Khan shows his lack of humanity by allowing this
to happen to anyone.
Throwing the worms into Chekov and that other guy’s space helmets so that they can crawl
painfully into their ears and controlling their minds.
• Surely there was a less disturbing ways to hijack their starship Khan.
Seriously he had these things in a tank just waiting for the day that they would come in
handy.
That’s pretty messed up even for a genetically superior superman.
11 – A Toaster’s Nightmare – The Brave Little Toaster,
• So some of you may remember this animated film from the 80s where a toaster and some
other appliances try and find their way home.
• Then the anthropomorphic toaster has a nightmare that would make any child mess their
pants and run crying into the kitchen to comfort their family toaster.
Seriously this nightmare sequence is insane and terrifying for a kid’s film.
• Then again it also features a song where old cars are being crushed and sing of their
glory days which is equally as damaging to a child’s psyche.
10 – Bilbo’s Demon Face – Lord of the Rings,
• This is one person’s O face you definitely don’t want to see if this is anything to
go on.
• This one shows Bilbo’s dark side that the ring brings out when he hands it to Frodo
and damn does it look like something that crawled from the gates of hell to get a look
at that damn ring.
• But considering the transformation that happened to Smeagol and the horrible transformation
that it did to him it shouldn’t be surprising.
Still it’s a jump scare that was meant for a different movie.
9 – Sloth - Seven, • Speaking of jump scares here’s one from
the brilliant crime thriller that launched David Fincher’s career, the good part of
his career I mean.
• Finding a man that has been kept alive in a paralysed state, unable to move hence
being the deadly sin sloth but the detectives are in for quite the scare.
The body which is basically a skeleton with a thin layer of leather around it is assumed
dead until oh no that damn thing just got up!
• It’s a disturbing and scary moment that makes you immediately want to go out and do
a fun run or at least some exercise in the sun.
8 – Fly My Pretties – The Wizard of Oz • Ah who wasn’t introduced to their fear
of flying primates by the classic Wizard of Oz, I was and it’s a fear that haunts me
to this day.
• Basically for the one person who hasn’t seen it, the film’s villain the wicked witch
just happens to have a hoard of the horrifying mutants on hand to destroy her enemies.
It doesn’t help that the scene where they attack our heroes is in a place called the
haunted forest which just adds to terror.
• But considering the stuff with the lollipop guild maybe that’s the real horror scene
in this film, god they are creepy. 7 – Face Melting – Raiders of the Lost
Ark, • The wrath of god has never been so gloriously
gross than at the climatic reveal of Indy’s first adventure.
• Sure its justice that these Nazi’s get their skin turned into soup but it still seems
like a punishment that belongs in a much darker film than this adventure classic.
• Ah well serves them right for messing with things they don’t understand.
Then again you think one of them would have been smart enough to look away once the spirits
of death started flying about...so much for the master race.
6 – Large Marge – Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, • Dear god never ever get in a truck on
a dark road on a foggy night because it may just be Large Marge behind the wheel.
• Pee Wee is on a mission to find his stolen bike leading him on a heap of wacky adventures
but the scene with Marge takes a turn for the dark when she starts to describe a wreck
she encountered before turning into a Claymation monster.
• Considering how bright and happy the film is up to this point it comes out of nowhere.
Still there are scarier things out there…like being locked in a room with Pee Wee Herman.
5 – Call it – No Country for Old Men • This is one game of heads or tails you
will want to avoid like the plague.
• Showing how intimidating Anton Chigurh is with just asking you to call a coin toss.
After grilling the gas station attendant over his life choices he decides to give him a
chance to what we assume is save his own life.
The tension builds expertly to the point where you are really worried about this nobody gas
guy.
• Maybe it’s the awkwardness of the harmless man and the cold calculating nature of Chigurh
that makes this one of the best scenes in the film or just the morbid curiosity of is
the guy is gonna get his brains blown out.
Probably the last one.
4 – The Dead Baby - Trainspotting • Well guys I’ve got news for you…drugs
are bad and you should never ever do them.
That is at least if you don’t want to murder babies.
• After his friend’s child dies from “being high as fuck” neglect, Renton has a disturbing
freak out when he tries to quit cold turkey leading to the greatest anti-drug commercial
ever.
Seriously dead babies climbing the walls and then turning all exorcist is something no
one wants in their future.
• So next time you pick up that needle remember the terror that awaits you…or just don’t
be a neglectful parent in general either way it’s a good thing.
3 – Judge Doom – Who Framed Roger Rabbit, • Doc Brown isn’t that scary at all right,
he’s just a little creepy for the most part but then he melts a cartoon shoe and it’s
absolutely terrifying.
• The scene is one that will give you more feels over animated footwear than you ever
thought possible.
It’s like watching the slow the torture of a child as the toon is dissolved in acid
that it makes you feel like you’re watching a much darker movie than you are.
• Then again with the graphic shoe murder and the whole “Jessica rabbit goes commando”
thing perhaps this movie is as dark as fuck.
2 – The WTF Tunnel – Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,
• See this world of wonder and candy and childhood dreams well please step on this
ferry ride so we can scare the holy shit out of you.
• What was Wonka thinking when he decided to build the scariest ride in the world right
between the chocolate river and the next murder trap for bad children?
But its Gene Wilder’s performance that makes this boat ride one that you never want to
go on again.
• There’s no earthly way of knowing what the hell made them put this scene in the film
about candy other than to show that Wonka is a maniac and this place is full of death
traps…wait… 1 – Every death – Watership Down,
• Oh sure I’d love to watch this cartoon about rabbits OH MY GOD what just happened
to that cute little bunny?
And that one?
And all of them??
• This one pretty much could classify as a horror film as so many rabbits a killed
and stalked by predators in their pilgrimage for a new warren that you may want to think
twice before sitting your kids in front of it.
• That said though like Bambi’s mother dying it will certainly make your kids grow
up hating hunting so maybe you should.
I don’t know why are you wanting parenting advice damn it?
