00:09Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the 30 scariest scenes from non-horror movies.
00:25Number 30. The Gmork, the never-ending story.
00:36Every kid probably has that one movie that introduced them to the concept of mortality.
00:41Formative moments that, although difficult, helped us understand the world around us at an important age.
00:46The never-ending story was one of those films for a lot of 80s kids, thanks to harrowing scenes such
00:51as Artax in the Swamps of Sadness or the appearance of the Gmork.
00:55I will rip you to shreds.
01:02This agent of the nothing took on the appearance of a fearsome wolf, but it takes a while for us
01:07to fully view the Gmork in all of its malevolent glory.
01:10The battle between this villain and our hero Atreyu may be brief, but it never strayed too far from our
01:15minds after we first viewed it so many years ago.
01:18Come for me, Gmork! I am Atreyu!
01:28Number 29. Incinerator. Toy Story 3.
01:33I don't think that's daylight.
01:43It's a scene that is probably by design shot like a horror movie, one that places our favorite family playthings
01:50in some real peril.
01:51The Toy Story franchise wasn't used to these sorts of real life-or-death stakes, but this third entry really
01:56amped up the tension during this scene.
01:58Younger viewers might very well believe it's the end for Woody and crew, and why wouldn't they?
02:11The incinerator scene is well animated and presents its audience with visuals that underline exactly how much danger awaits these
02:17toys.
02:18Granted, the aliens may sweep in and save the day, but we were all holding our collective breath up until
02:23that point.
02:31Number 28. A Slippery Death. X-Men.
02:45Senator Robert Kelly is a mutant-hating legislator who uses his influence to back the Mutant Registration Act in the
02:51first X-Men movie from 2000.
02:53This human antagonist receives a very ironic and disturbing death later on in the film, however,
02:58after receiving a forced and experimental mutation at the hands of Magneto.
03:02The sight of Senator Kelly's body reacting poorly to the radiation results in the man basically breaking down into a
03:08slippery, watery mess.
03:20It's a surprisingly gruesome death to be sure, but also indicative of the stakes at play during this franchise's very
03:26earliest years.
03:28We are the future, Charles, not them. They no longer matter.
03:33Number 27. The Child Catcher. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
03:38Here we are, children. Come and get your lollipops.
03:44Viewers of a certain age will probably never forget the first time The Child Catcher first crawled across their movie
03:49or television screens.
03:51This original creation from author Roald Dahl and writer-director Ken Hughes served as a secondary antagonist in Chitty Chitty
03:57Bang Bang,
03:58with a truly creepy and unsettling appearance.
04:01Ha ha!
04:03They are here somewhere!
04:06I can feel it in my bones!
04:09His moniker alone might be frightening enough,
04:11but the insidious manner in which The Child Catcher lures and imprisons little kids
04:15makes him easily one of the scariest kids movie villains full stop.
04:19After all, they say to never take candy from strangers for a reason, right?
04:23Eh, perhaps your health would care to exempt nasty little creatures,
04:30very, very torturous fun.
04:34Number 26. The Shelob's Lair. Lord of the Rings. The Return of the King.
04:47The high fantasy setting of director Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies
04:51wasn't exactly bereft of some truly scary monsters.
04:54The Bilbo Baggins jump scare from the first entry, The Fellowship of the Ring,
04:58certainly caught us off guard.
04:59Meanwhile, the finale of The Return of the King finally brought to the silver screen
05:03J.R.R. Tolkien's Shelob in all of her arachnid glory.
05:15This giant spider is meant to be the doom of Frodo Baggins,
05:18since it's Gollum who's intentionally leading the young hobbit to his death.
05:22Thankfully, Samwise Gamgee saves the day and the One Ring,
05:26allowing for the pair to continue on to Mount Doom.
05:37Number 25. Why So Serious?
05:39The Dark Knight.
05:42How about a lie?
05:46One of the best aspects of Heath Ledger's iconic portrayal of the Joker
05:50in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight
05:51is how we're never quite sure about the truth of his origins.
05:55The Clown Prince of Crime is a chaotic and unpredictable force
05:57that will say just about anything to anyone,
06:00continually shifting his endgame and point of view
06:02as he toys with the psyche of others.
06:04Ledger's why so serious monologue
06:06is one of those iconically creepy scenes
06:08that demonstrates not only the excellent makeup effects,
06:11but also the physicality of Ledger's performance.
06:14Why so serious?
06:17The licking of Ledger's dry lips,
06:19that marble-mouthed vocal cadence,
06:21it's all part of a process that turned an actor into a legend.
06:26Why so serious?
06:32Number 24. Air Conditioner Explosion
06:35The Brave Little Toaster
06:45The anthropomorphic existence of normal, everyday household appliances
06:49might not be the first place one might think to check for nightmare fuel,
06:52yet here we are with 1987's The Brave Little Toaster.
06:55AC isn't exactly a nice air conditioner,
06:58and he really flies off the handle
07:00after an argument with our titular toaster.
07:02It's back to that stupid static again.
07:05You think I don't know what's going on in here?
07:09The cooling device works itself into so much of an emotional frenzy
07:12that it winds up frying his parts,
07:14leaving AC a smoldering wreck.
07:16This air conditioner might receive some repairs later on in the film,
07:19but the way this scene is animated
07:21makes it pretty intense stuff for a little kid.
07:33Number 23. Bunnies Attacked
07:35Watership Down
07:44Themes of totalitarianism, courage, and survival
07:47all come into play during this epic 1978 adaptation
07:50of Richard Adams' novel of the same name.
07:52This film isn't by any stretch of the imagination a horror film,
07:56but that doesn't mean there isn't a shocking amount
07:58of emotionally bothersome violence.
08:00The climactic Battle of Watership Down sequence in particular
08:03features over 60 cute little bunnies meeting their demise,
08:06as two rival rabbit warrens meet in bloody combat.
08:09It's a disturbing example of classy storytelling
08:11and beautiful animation coming together to tell a very adult story,
08:15all the while utilizing animation techniques
08:17that are anything but kid stuff.
08:19You've been feeling tired, haven't you?
08:23If you're ready, we might go along now.
08:28Number 22. The Emperor's Death
08:30The Dark Crystal
08:31I... I... I... I... I... I... I am still Emperor.
08:40Jim Henson's creative boundaries were endless,
08:43and the man was notably not content with being relegated
08:46as a children's entertainer.
08:48The Dark Crystal was just one of Henson's attempts
08:50at expanding the parameters of his work,
08:52of creating a rich fantasy world
08:53that could just as easily contain danger as it did wonder.
08:56The Skeksis possess a creature design
08:58that instantly designates them as villains,
09:00but in case you were in any doubt,
09:02the Emperor's Death Sequence exists here
09:04to underline that fact.
09:12The sight of the Skeksis leader disintegrating into dust
09:15is creepy and unsettling,
09:16as is the subsequent trial by stone
09:19between two pretenders to the throne,
09:21the Skeksis general
09:21and the conniving, deceitful Chamberlain.
09:33Number 21. Omaha Beach
09:35Saving Private Ryan
09:40War truly is hell,
09:42and nowhere is that fact more evident
09:44than in this startling opening to Saving Private Ryan.
09:47Director Steven Spielberg pulls no punches
09:50as the ally storm Omaha Beach,
09:52showcasing all of the blood and guts
09:53one might expect from a horror film.
09:55The scene makes an impact for the ages,
09:57as Axis artillery fire rips through soldiers on the beach.
10:01I said, what the hell do we do now, sir?
10:07Images of wounded soldiers crying out for their mothers,
10:10of lonely deaths thousands of miles away from home.
10:13It's a grim reminder of the sacrifices
10:15so many made for the freedoms
10:17everybody around the world holds so near and dear today.
10:26Number 20. Park Da-sung's ghost, Parasite
10:37Director Bong Joon-ho has described
10:39his black comedy thriller
10:40as a ghost story of sorts,
10:42and a pervasive sense of uncertainty
10:44runs through the film.
10:50The ghost in question once appeared
10:53before Young Park Da-sung
10:54in a doorway leading into the basement.
10:56The experience left Da-sung traumatized,
10:58but the explanation behind this encounter
11:00is creepier than anything supernatural.
11:02The ghost is really the former housekeeper's husband,
11:06Geun-sei,
11:06who's been hiding from loan sharks
11:08in the house's secret bunker for years.
11:10When Geun-sei emerges again,
11:12his presence causes Da-sung to suffer another seizure
11:15before all hell breaks loose.
11:17Number 19. His fangs are sharp, Jumanji.
11:20Many family films have been considered unsuitable
11:23and disturbing for children,
11:24but none flows like a horror movie for kids
11:27quite like Jumanji.
11:28His fangs are sharp.
11:30He likes your taste.
11:32Your party better move post-taste.
11:36The intense 90s adventure classic
11:38follows Robin Williams
11:39as a man who gets sucked into a sadistic board game.
11:42Literally.
11:49In a world where creatures come to life
11:51with every roll of the dice,
11:53most memorable is when the children land on the wrong spot
11:55and are suddenly attacked by a lion.
12:03Featuring one of the game's many man-eating creatures,
12:06this scene had us checking our closets for years to come.
12:10Number 18. Beware the Wheelers.
12:12Return to Oz
12:13L. Frank Baum's universe is no stranger
12:16to disturbing imagery geared towards children.
12:19Beware the wheelers.
12:21What's a wheeler?
12:23This fantasy adventure follows Dorothy
12:25as she finds her way back to Oz,
12:26only to find it in tatters.
12:29Come here, chicken!
12:32In one part of the deserted land,
12:34Dorothy runs into the wheelers,
12:36characters who have wheels for limbs
12:38and carry creepy masks
12:39reminiscent of the Wicked Witch's flying monkeys.
12:45As if the cabinets of disembodied heads
12:47the princess keeps
12:48and all of Dorothy's friends
12:49being turned to stone wasn't enough,
12:5180s kids also know to beware the wheelers
12:54because of this flick.
12:58Number 17. Night on Bald Mountain
13:01Fantasia
13:01The first is a night on Bald Mountain.
13:04Many grew up thinking this experimental
13:06and one-of-a-kind animated classic was for kids.
13:09And although some parts are curiously strange,
13:12confirmation that this wasn't your typical Disney fare
13:14came with its final sequence.
13:24Animators took the already frightening
13:26Masorksky composition
13:27Night on Bald Mountain
13:28and invented even more terrifying imagery
13:31to put behind it.
13:32We follow the devil Chernabog
13:33as he summons demons,
13:35ghosts, and witches
13:36in an orgy of madness and celebration.
13:38Although the classical music and animation
13:40are fascinating
13:41and have captivated audiences
13:43for the better part of a century,
13:44the subject matter will always be the stuff of nightmares.
13:56As one of the most celebrated crime thrillers of all time,
14:00The Godfather has its fair share of unnerving scenes.
14:02They are $600,000 on four hooks.
14:06I'll bet Russian John
14:07never paid that kind of dough for a single horse.
14:09This is in no small part
14:11thanks to Vito Corleone's manner of taking care of business.
14:14Just tell him he should ask me anything else.
14:16But this is one favor I can't give him.
14:18When studio head Jack Waltz
14:20refuses to give Vito's godson,
14:22singer Johnny Fontaine,
14:23a shot at the big time,
14:24the crime family takes their anger
14:26out on Waltz's prized stallion.
14:28He wakes up to find his sheet soaked in blood
14:30and a surprise inside.
14:32This unforgettable and shocking scene
14:34builds up to an unexpected climax
14:36we won't soon forget.
14:38And neither will poor Jack.
14:43Number 15.
14:45The Witching Hour
14:46The Wizard of Oz
14:47For all the magic and musical glee
14:49in this timeless classic,
14:50there are just as many bizarre and startling moments.
14:53I'll get you, my pretty.
14:55And your little dog, too.
14:58With her ghastly visage and shrill voice,
15:01the Wicked Witch is one of the 20th century's
15:03most memorable villains.
15:04Her entrances were as unexpected
15:06as they were terrifying,
15:07whether in Munchkinland
15:08or inside her crystal ball.
15:10Now fly!
15:11Fly!
15:20It's difficult to pick just one scary scene,
15:22but our childhood nightmares include
15:23her commanding her army of flying monkeys
15:25and setting poor Scarecrow on fire.
15:28Even her death scene is somehow terrifying,
15:31with her body melting
15:32and her shrieks filling the castle.
15:34Look out!
15:36I'm going!
15:39Oh!
15:40Number 14.
15:42Doom and Gloom
15:43Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
15:44We move from one megalomaniacal villain to another,
15:48as we visit Roger Rabbit's fearsome foe.
15:505,000 gallons of heated dip
15:53pumped out enormous velocity
15:55through a pressurized water cannon.
15:57A sworn enemy of all toons,
16:00Judge Doom sadistically hunts
16:01and disposes of them using his dreaded dip.
16:04But it's in the film's finale
16:06that he does his worst.
16:07Oh!
16:08Oh!
16:10Oh!
16:10Oh!
16:12Oh!
16:13Oh!
16:14Oh!
16:14Oh!
16:14Oh!
16:14Oh!
16:15After being flattened into a pancake
16:17by a steamroller,
16:18Doom eerily rises to life,
16:20inflating himself until,
16:22well,
16:23this.
16:25Remember me, Eddie?
16:27A helium-fueled half-man,
16:29half-toon,
16:30his grotesque transformation
16:32turns an already menacing character
16:34into an outstanding screen oddity.
16:36I talked!
16:37Just!
16:38With!
16:39Me!
16:41Those burning red eyes,
16:43that high squeaky voice,
16:45Doom is truly nightmare fuel.
16:47Oh no!
16:49Wah-wah!
16:52That's so funny, Eddie!
16:55Number 13.
16:56Becoming a Jackass,
16:57Pinocchio.
16:58Of Disney's many traumatizing scenes,
17:01none is scarier than Pinocchio's
17:03Pleasure Island trip.
17:04Oh boy, a scrap!
17:06Come on, let's go in and poke somebody in the nose.
17:08Newly transformed into a real boy,
17:11Pinocchio finds all sorts of amusement,
17:13but there is a downside.
17:15Delinquents on the island
17:16eventually turn into donkeys
17:17and are used for back-breaking labor.
17:19What's he think I look like?
17:21A jackass?
17:23You sure do!
17:26Who expected a charming tale
17:28about a wooden boy
17:29to devolve into child slavery
17:31and human trafficking?
17:32Pinocchio escapes,
17:33but his good friend Lampwick
17:34isn't so lucky.
17:39A morality tale for the ages,
17:42this story scared an infinite number
17:44of kids straight
17:44with Lampwick's panicked meltdown.
17:46Number 12.
17:47Pale Man,
17:48Pan's Labyrinth.
17:49A fantasy drama
17:51about a child's forays
17:52into a mythical world.
17:53Sounds fun, right?
17:55Well, think again.
17:56You'll see...
17:57You'll see...
17:57You'll see...
17:59You'll see...
18:00You'll see...
18:02You'll see...
18:02You'll see...
18:02You'll see...
18:02You'll see...
18:02You'll see...
18:03Nada.
18:06Absolutamente nada.
18:08Set during the Spanish Civil War,
18:10Guillermo del Toro's 2006 film
18:11features a slew
18:13of magical creatures,
18:14but they're more horrifying
18:15than enchanting.
18:16And scariest of all
18:17is the Pale Man.
18:18Before our heroine Ophelia
18:20encounters him,
18:21she's given one rule.
18:22Don't eat anything
18:24from his table.
18:24Well, we all knew
18:25what was going to happen next.
18:32But that didn't make
18:33the Pale Man's pursuit
18:34of Ophelia
18:35any less terrifying.
18:44Keep in mind,
18:46this emaciated monster
18:47eats children.
18:48Doug Jones' performance
18:49as the Pale Man
18:50is as memorable
18:51as it is chilling.
18:52Number 11.
18:53A Nightmare Scenario
18:55Trainspotting
18:58Danny Boyle's
19:00black comedy crime flick
19:01horrified audiences
19:02when it showed a baby
19:03dying of neglect
19:04due to the parent's
19:05substance use disorder.
19:06However,
19:07Renton's subsequent nightmare
19:08while going through withdrawal
19:09is what really left
19:10its mark on horror history.
19:16In a soul-wrenching scene,
19:19the baby's deformed
19:20and bloated corpse appears,
19:21crawling on the ceiling
19:23and performing
19:23an exorcist-like head spin,
19:25all set to a pulsating
19:27techno beat.
19:28Given the baby's
19:28tragic demise,
19:29it's a serious gut punch.
19:31Added to the gross-out visuals,
19:33it's a nightmare
19:34not easily forgotten.
19:36Number 10.
19:37How about another joke,
19:38Murray?
19:38Joker.
19:39As previously mentioned,
19:41Heath Ledger's Joker
19:42chilled us to the bone
19:43with his stories
19:44about his scars.
19:45He sticks the blade
19:46in my mouth.
19:49Let's put a smile
19:50on that face.
19:52But,
19:52we had to give this spot
19:53to Joaquin Phoenix's
19:54Arthur Fleck,
19:56specifically,
19:56his appearance on Live
19:57with Murray Franklin
19:58opposite Robert De Niro.
20:00This is exactly
20:01how I imagined it.
20:04Well,
20:04that makes one of us.
20:07The talk show host
20:08sees an opportunity
20:09to score a few more laughs
20:10at Arthur's expense.
20:11But once his guest
20:12starts telling some of his
20:14quote-unquote jokes,
20:15Murray realizes
20:16just how unstable Fleck is.
20:18It's been a rough few weeks,
20:20Murray.
20:22Ever since I
20:26killed those three
20:28Wall Street guys.
20:30Because we've already seen
20:31Arthur commit one murder,
20:33the suspense is palpable.
20:34And sure enough,
20:35he has prepared
20:36one last joke.
20:38How about another joke, Murray?
20:40No, I think we've had
20:40enough of your jokes.
20:41What do you get?
20:42I don't think so.
20:43When you cross
20:44a mentally ill loner
20:45with a society
20:46that abandons him
20:48and thinks of my trash!
20:49Call the police!
20:50The building tension,
20:51gritty realism,
20:52and sense of panic
20:53amount to a downright
20:54disturbing sequence.
20:56Number 9.
20:57Large Marge,
20:58Pee-wee's Big Adventure.
21:00How can a film
21:01with such childish glee
21:02and comedy
21:03scare the pants off people?
21:04We're losing valuable time!
21:06Send up a dragnet!
21:08Close the whole area!
21:09Hurry!
21:10When Pee-wee goes
21:11cross-country
21:11to find his stolen bicycle,
21:13he meets many
21:13bizarre characters,
21:14but none as strange
21:16as Large Marge.
21:17I saw the worst accident
21:19I ever seen.
21:21When the trucker
21:22picks him up on the highway,
21:23she decides to
21:24casually share a story
21:25about a violent accident
21:26she witnessed.
21:27With Pee-wee sensing
21:28that something is off,
21:30Marge gives us
21:30a jump scare
21:31for the ages.
21:32From the twisted
21:35burning
21:36wreck,
21:37it looked like
21:38this!
21:43Although this scene
21:44seemed to come out
21:44of nowhere,
21:45we would later learn
21:46to love it
21:47as a Tim Burton signature.
21:49Be sure and tell them
21:49Large Marge sent ya!
21:52Number 8.
21:53Coin Toss,
21:54No Country for Old Men.
21:56Javier Bardem
21:56picked up an Oscar
21:57for his performance
21:58as hitman Anton Chigurh,
21:59and it's easy to see why
22:01just from this movie's
22:02famous coin toss scene.
22:03What business
22:04is it of yours?
22:05Where I'm from?
22:08Friend-o?
22:09After killing a sheriff
22:10and a man whose car he wanted,
22:11the hitman pulls into
22:12a gas station.
22:13Given the preceding events,
22:15we know from the get-go
22:16that the gas station owner
22:17is in trouble.
22:18You know what date
22:19is on this coin?
22:20No?
22:211958.
22:23It's been traveling
22:2422 years to get here,
22:25and now it's here.
22:27And it's either heads
22:28or tails.
22:29But the suspense
22:30is dialed up
22:31to a gazillion
22:32when Anton tosses a coin
22:34and demands
22:34the old man call it.
22:36We know what's riding on it,
22:37but Anton's
22:38prospective victim
22:38can't be sure,
22:39which just increases
22:41the tension.
22:42I need to know
22:43what I stand to win
22:44everything.
22:46Number 7.
22:47Riders as Black as Night,
22:48The Lord of the Rings,
22:50The Fellowship of the Ring.
22:51Frodo and the Fellowship
22:53face many visually
22:54stunning challenges
22:54on their quest
22:55to destroy the One Ring.
22:56Yet it's their
22:57blood-curdling encounters
22:58with the Nazgûl
22:59that are among
22:59the most notable.
23:08We were ready
23:09to be scared
23:09after the scene
23:10in which a Black Rider
23:11searches for Frodo
23:12by the roadside,
23:13but nothing quite prepared
23:14us for their attack
23:15at Weathertop,
23:15which left the Hobbits
23:16and audiences quaking.
23:28When Frodo puts on
23:30the One Ring
23:30to escape,
23:31we learn they're
23:32even more frightening
23:33underneath their dark cloaks.
23:39Number 6.
23:41A Dream at Winkies,
23:42Mulholland Drive.
23:43David Lynch is the king
23:45of metaphor and surrealism.
23:47This Winkies.
23:49Okay.
23:51Why this Winkies?
23:53He also knows
23:54how to scare us.
23:55In a film about Hollywood
23:56making dreams come true,
23:58Lynch is sure to remind us
23:59that some of these dreams
24:00can turn to nightmares.
24:02I had a dream
24:03about this place.
24:04In one of his most famous
24:05disconnected scenes,
24:06we listen to a man
24:07at a diner
24:08describe a terrifying
24:09dream he had,
24:10the hideous face
24:11he encountered,
24:12and the awful feeling
24:13he still can't shake.
24:14There's a man
24:17in back of this place.
24:22He's the one
24:22who's doing it.
24:23eerie like only Lynch
24:25can do,
24:25the man starts to realize
24:26that maybe he can't
24:28escape the nightmare
24:28he built for himself.
24:35Number 5.
24:36Tell it to my heart,
24:38Indiana Jones
24:38and the Temple of Doom.
24:40Steven Spielberg
24:41and the Indiana Jones franchise
24:42are no strangers
24:43to thrills and chills.
24:45This second installment
24:46and prequel
24:46finds Indy helping
24:47a small Indian village
24:48investigate a possible
24:49ancient cult
24:50for kidnapping
24:50their children.
24:51It's a thuggy ceremony.
24:53They're worshipping Kali.
24:55His theory
24:55is proven correct
24:56when he and his team
24:57stumble upon
24:58the thuggy cult,
24:59led by the imposing
25:00and bloodthirsty
25:01high priest Mola Ram.
25:02What they find here
25:03is a violent ritual
25:04filled with smoke,
25:06skulls,
25:07fiery pits,
25:07and human sacrifice
25:08that left many movie watchers
25:10covering their eyes,
25:11and all of us
25:12knowing that Indy
25:13was in big trouble.
25:26Number 4.
25:27The King of the Dinosaurs
25:29Jurassic Park
25:30The raptors
25:31in the kitchen scene
25:32certainly had us on edge.
25:38But when it comes
25:39to intimidating creatures,
25:41the Tyrannosaurus rex is king.
25:46With the park's visitors
25:48stuck outside
25:48the T-Rex enclosure,
25:50a simple cup of water
25:51becomes more foreboding
25:52than anyone
25:53could have imagined.
25:54The goat leg
25:55on the roof of the jeep
25:56wasn't really a good sign either.
25:57When the T-Rex finally showed,
25:59it shocked a generation
26:00of moviegoers
26:01with its theater-jolting roar.
26:06We all held our breath
26:07as Lex and Tim
26:08screamed inside
26:09the overturned jeep,
26:10and we all froze
26:11as T-Rex's breath
26:12blew the hat
26:13right off
26:14Dr. Alan Grant's head.
26:20Number 3.
26:21Shrouded in Mystery Man
26:22Lost Highway
26:23Though not his most popular work,
26:26this David Lynch film
26:27features one of his
26:28most unsettling scenes.
26:29Fred Madison worries
26:30he's being stalked
26:31after receiving videos
26:32filmed inside his home.
26:34He's soon approached
26:35at a party
26:35by a man
26:36with a bizarre claim.
26:37We've met before,
26:38haven't we?
26:39With an understated,
26:40tense delivery,
26:41Robert Blake's Mystery Man
26:42sends chills
26:43down your spine.
26:44What do you mean
26:45you're where
26:46right now?
26:49At your house?
26:51His white kabuki makeup
26:53was apparently
26:53his own idea,
26:54but it's arguably
26:55his eyes,
26:56sans eyebrows,
26:57that really sell the scene.
26:59Who are you?
27:01Hmm.
27:04Hmm.
27:08What's more,
27:09the performance
27:10is made even creepier
27:11by his subsequent
27:12real-life murder trial.
27:14Number 2.
27:15Tunnel of Fear
27:16Willy Wonka
27:17and the Chocolate Factory
27:19Designed as a tasty
27:20treat for children
27:20filled with moments
27:21of delight,
27:22this movie has
27:23just as many scenes
27:24that will scar them.
27:25Hang on,
27:26where are we going?
27:27I don't know,
27:27but I don't like
27:27to watch that tunnel up there.
27:28Hey, Wonka,
27:29I want off!
27:30The greatest scare
27:31comes early.
27:32Willy Wonka
27:33takes his visitors
27:34on a boat ride
27:34through what looks
27:35like the tunnel
27:36to hell itself,
27:37while delivering
27:38a fiery and dark sermon.
27:40There's no earthly
27:41way of knowing.
27:44He's singing.
27:45Which direction
27:45we are going?
27:47What even makes
27:48a grown man
27:49build something like this
27:50in the first place?
27:51Is it just to scare
27:51the hell out of children?
27:52An unnerving cross
27:54between a fever dream
27:55and psychedelic psychosis,
27:56this scene stands tall
27:58as the movie's
27:58most horrific.

28:16Face-Melting Terror
28:17Raiders of the Lost Ark
28:19This explosive introduction
28:21to Indiana Jones
28:22incorporates many genres,
28:24from action to romance,
28:25suspense to adventure.
28:27However,
28:27it isn't until
28:28the film's conclusion
28:29that horror
28:30rears its ugly head.
28:31Marian,
28:33don't look at it.
28:34Shut your eyes,
28:35Marian,
28:35don't look at it
28:36no matter what happens.
28:37With Indy and his partner
28:38captured,
28:38the Nazis prepare
28:39to open the Ark
28:40of the Covenant.
28:41Luckily,
28:42Indy knows to avert
28:43his gaze
28:43before the awesome
28:44power that's unleashed.
28:50cursed by the spirits
28:51of the Ark,
28:52the Nazis are roasted
28:53in a visually terrifying
28:55and effects-driven climax
28:56so unpredictable,
28:57it's guaranteed
28:58to haunt every viewer.
