The freakiest things on any film. - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

Signs: The beginning credits sequence was really amazing IMO.
It was a great thing seeing it at a big screen with SDDS 8-channel sound at a very loud volume.
I just loved it how the credits go from the back pass through you then a little moment of silence & BAM!

Insomnia: Any scene releated to the problems with Pacino´s character.

MooglePorn · 10-20-2002, 03:30 AM

Hmmm... not many things out there have really freaked me out.

For sheer gore I would go with the chick being split up the middle in Jason Goes to Hell.

For "creepy" style, I would go with a freaky scene from a shitty movie. The part in The Lost World: Jurassic Park where Julianne Moore is on the slowly cracking glass... that was kind of creepy. The rest of the film was shit though.

John Yaya · 10-20-2002, 04:05 AM

One film that still really creeps me out is the little seen film Magic with Anthony Hopkins who plays a ventriliquist who and his "dummy" have some serious issues

David Lynch's Eraserhead and Mullholland Drive. The ghoulish B/W atmosphere of Eraserhead is just plain weird and the twisting turns and bizarre going ons of Mullholland Drive never fail to creep me out

Sissy Spacek's freak out at the prom in Carrie

Vincent D'Onofrio (private Pyle) in Full Metal Jacket as he finally flips his lid in the head

Kevin Spacey's John Doe in Se7en....chilling to the bone

JimboQ · 10-20-2002, 04:13 AM

When Walter Matthau is in his convertable and he pulls out a Budweiser, cracks it open, takes a few sips and then pulls out
a small bottle of Vodka, pours some in the beer, chugs it, then
takes off down the road. That is freaky....well ballsy in these "pc" times. Ah, the mid-70's, you could get away with almost anything on film.

Agalloch · 10-20-2002, 04:15 AM

I got another one from Signs. The scene where they're showing the birthday party on television and the alien walks past in the distance and the kids freak out along with Joaquin...that scene just freaked me out. Also, when Mel sees the alien on the rooftop, those two scenes just left me feeling a little freaked, even after the movie was over.

Mulholland Dr. - The first appearance of the freaking dude behind the restaurant, yeesh.

Evil Dead - Pencil to the Achilles tendon. OW! I just don't even want to imagine that kind of pain.

tvboy · 10-20-2002, 05:00 AM

It's gotta be the movie FREAKS.
Sideshow hits the silver screen - yikes!

John Waters' early filmwork also stands out - Divine eating dogshit in Pink Flamingoes is the crowning glory.

And an awful lot of what went on in SALO.
If you've seen it, you know what I mean...

Monterey Jack · 10-20-2002, 05:29 AM

The "defibrilator" scene in John Carpenter's The Thing.

Yeah, I sure didn't see that coming the first time I saw the flick.

The part when Gibson sticks the knife under the pantry door, and then the hand comes out!

Biggest audience scream ever!

Yeah, that got a big reaction when I saw it too. The funny thing about that scene is you just knew that was going to happen, yet it still scared everyone.

sub780lime · 10-21-2002, 12:11 AM

well i usually find myself laughing at the creepiest crap, but a few things that i think of

the tree rap in evil dead (i just think this is screwed up)

and major spoiler for the Ring

the girl coming out the TV

Cap42086 · 10-21-2002, 01:04 AM

Quote:

and major spoiler,

the girl coming out of the tv in the ring

Just to give you a heads up, next time, say what movie you're giving spoilers to. I just accidentilly read it. Granted I have no clue what the hell you're talking about, but now I know that that happens in the film. Not that I'm saying it's your fault...

Just be careful next time.

As for the creepiest scenes in movies, I'd like to say in The Eye (don't worry, no spoilers) where the women first gets her sight back and she takes the bandages off of her eyes and she's looking around at blurred things and she's sees a person standing in front of her, but the music is really creepy, so you know that it's really a ghost, but she thinks it's a real person. Then the scene ends after looking at the ghost for two seconds.

redshifter · 10-21-2002, 01:10 AM

yeah sub, please mention the film you are spoiling first.

*** perhaps "journey to the center of the earth" spoiler ***
what upsets me the most is older films where they kill or hurt animals. even scenes of sharks getting speared. i just hate that crap. the worst was "journey to the center of the earth" where they made those poor reptiles fight each other cock-fight style, then at the end they took a beautiful monitor lizard and poured what looked like hot tar over it while it was alive. that really, really pissed me off, and i wish i never had to see it.

I'm with you whole-heartedly on this point!
Andrei Rublev had a particularly disturbing scene in the sacking of Vladimir where some animals are set fire - alive! That stuck with me for weeks...
Eisenstein's Strike has a horse that is killed and the carcass falls off a raising bridge. Brutal and cold.
There are lots of other incidents, but those two really got to me.
Why harm animals for what is essentially supposed to be entertainment?
At lease CGI has allowed things to be portrayed without really happening (like the cow incident in O Brother Where Art Thou).

sub780lime · 10-21-2002, 08:30 AM

man i need to see the eye, this was a japanese film wasnt it, or did it come out of hong kong,

anyone know the original title

Moppy007 · 10-21-2002, 02:21 PM

if memory serves me right, the bit with the old guy and the hammer in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre
also, although i never watched it all, some scenes that i did see from Eraserhead looked pretty freaky.

thaggas · 10-21-2002, 02:34 PM

You should track down an old experiemental short-film called "Un Chien Andalou." Fucked up. Deer carcasses. Blood. And this close encounter with a razorblade and an eyeball. Freakiest by far.

mrcoaster · 10-21-2002, 04:02 PM

Andy Warhol's "Bad"

I've never seen so many people walk out of a movie (saw it at the university center in college).

Scenes included:
Woman pulling a guy's thumb off with pliers

Setting a theater full of people on fire and laughing about it

Dropping a baby out of a window and splatting on the pavement.

Some pretty gruesome events (not as graphically as just shocking). That was one freaky film to me.

Damn, that's just the one I was thinking of. Makes me cringe just thinking about it.
Salvador Dali just screws with your head in that scene.

XXBigbeeXX · 10-21-2002, 05:09 PM

I can't believe no one has mentioned The Shining or The Exorcist -

Spoilers For Both Below -- If you haven't seen these go get them right now!!!

Shining -- Each time you see those two little girls it just gets worse and worse;
When Nicholson goes into that room with the "crazy woman"
When Scatman Caruthers is walking down the hall.
The tension and creepiness of this movie is lilke no other.

The Exorcist -- Too many moments to mention -- Any of the bedroom scenes with Regan and the priests. Make sure to get the 25th Anniversary Edition; NOT "The Version You've Never Seen".

blakely614 · 10-21-2002, 05:09 PM

How about in "What Lies Beneath" in the final scene as the camera pans out you see the woman's face in the snow.

sub780lime · 10-21-2002, 07:05 PM

i think its sort of sad that signs keeps coming up, this movie wasnt that creepy, the ring made me itch more than this, but besides that there are so many good suspense horror flicks out there that this post has become so limited

Cap42086 · 10-21-2002, 07:47 PM

Oh, shit! I just remembered a huge one. Maybe not necessarily freaky as it is disgusting and just plain vulgar, but still: Freddy Got Fingered.

Hmm, let me see... masturbating a horse's erect penis; watching that same horse mount another horse while excitedly shoving a cheese sandwich in your mouth; gutting a dead dear and then prancing around in its skin; licking another person's bone that has protruded completely through the skin, broken; beating a paralyzed woman on the shins with a cane; cutting an umbilical cord by biting through it, and then swinging the new-born around by the umbilical cord while it's still attached; saying your father molested your brother; and to top it off, jerking off an elephant until it ejaculates all over the place.

There was also the running gag with the kid getting graphically hurt in some painfully funny way (the baseball to the teeth wasn't very pleasant).

Riedenschneider · 10-21-2002, 08:07 PM

"any film" also means documentaries, right?
So my freaky thing would be the scene in Sick - The life and death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist,
where he nails his dick to a board.

tomdkat · 10-22-2002, 01:11 AM

The scene with Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton in Monster's Ball was pretty "freaky" to me...

Peace.....

Yeah, that's why God invented the fast forward button.

Just a little side note, my mom walked into the room after she heard me go, "Eww, what the fuck?" And she saw Billy Bob behind Halle and had the same reaction. So I immidiately hit the fast forwrad button and skipped that scene.

machine ghost · 10-22-2002, 01:56 AM

The freakiest thing I recall seeing is the last few minutes of a really crappy movie called "Snuff". I saw it when I was quite young and the rental box said that the killings in the movie were rumoured to be real. I have since heard that the movie was faked. At the time tho we weren't sure exactly what we were watching and the last bit where a woman gets mutilated is really disturbing.
