So I had an idea for an article I want to include in our upcoming annual "Two Months of Halloween" season on I-Mockery and I wanted to poll you guys to see what suggestions you had for it.

The article will be called something like "The Scariest Moments in Non-Horror Films" and I think it's self-explanatory. There are plenty of scary horror movie moments, but what about non-horror films that have surprisingly scary moments. Which moments in non-horror films caught you by surprise?

For example: Pee-wee's Big Adventure is a comedy film, but there's no denying that the Large Marge scene was scary as hell back when we were kids. So that's one thing that I'll be including in the article for sure.

So now it's your turn. Tell me what other non-horror films had moments that you thought were scary and I might include them on the list. And yes, you can make as many suggestions as you like.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to keep your suggestion a surprise for everybody else, feel free to send it to me via PM instead of posting it in this thread.

Thanks! :halloween :halloween2 :halloween :halloween2

Oh yeah, I forgot when I was a kid watching Through The Looking Glass, the Jabberwocky used to freak me the fuck out. It's towards the end of this vid.

Anything from The Last Unicorn, particularly the Red Bull. I'd post but youtube isn't working for me today.

Clearly, My Little Toaster was made to scare the shit out of kids.

That scene with the creepy Peter Lorre fan didn't sit well either.

how about the scene in indiana jones and the last crusade where the guy drinks from the wrong grail

i mean yeah, it's a BAD GUY it happens to, but still

i had to close my eyes on that part every time I watched that movie when I was a kid

-DGFuHC75aY

also, the part where marion is getting piled on by a bunch of skeletons and then the snake comes out of the skeleton's mouth in raiders, and the part where all the nazis' faces melt off are pretty goddamn scary

For me, the opening of the ark was horrifying.

It was a thriller I guess but the part in One Hour Photo where he is alone in the all white store and his eyes explode out of nowhere.

There was a part in All Dogs Go to Heaven when Charlie had a nightmare about going to Hell. I used to fast forward through it since it scared me as a child. Best scariest scene about going to hell ever...

I used to love that part. Where he is on the sinking boat, right?

Well, I guess I could contribute. This one scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. I remember being, like, five years old, getting up early, and watching the movie. When it got to this part, I pulled the blanket up like a little wuss and didn't leave the couch until someone else woke up and came into the living room.

It's more that entire scene rather than those 13 seconds, though.

Yeah, as soon as christopher lloyd went toon, my young mind didn't want to watch anymore. I third that one.

Ha! Oddly enough, I already had that movie on my list, but I had Judge Doom killing the cartoon shoe instead of Lloyd's eyes bugging out. I mean, the damn thing looks like it's bleeding for chrissakes when he puts it in the dip!

(start it around 2:30)

That whole movie probably messed a lot of kids up. I know that, for me, Doc Brown was always a little bit menacing because of Judge Doom :(

Edit: How 'bout this? I think the little girl in the painting disturbed me more when I saw it, but there was also that scene with the witch trying to lure the boy (with the same name as me) out of the tree.

Labyrinth used to freak me out as a kid also. Fucking weird david bowie and his strange creatures.

Return to Oz was all kinds of fucked as a kid. The Neverending Story was pretty bad also.

Oh God, The Neverending Story. That wolf was a fucking creeper.
Also wasn't there a ultraviolent and bloody children's movie about bunnies?

it's not supposed to be a kid's movie, but yeah watership down has got some gore and nightmarish imagery for a cartoon

see also: basically all of Plague Dogs, large chunks of Felidae (also has CAT SEX in it)

The unnatural moving of Judge Doom getting up scared the shit out of me.

In fact, I don't think I remember very many MTV bumpers that DIDN'T scare the shit out of me or send me crying. :(

watership down:

kkU1lyvPn_A

first 30-40 seconds is probably the worst part of that whole movie

6:50-7:30 : BLOODY FIGHT SCENE WITH NIGHTMARE GENERAL RABBIT

plague dogs:

watch everything from 0:40 to about 3:00 if you have anything vaguely resembling a fear of drowning, I DARE YOU

I second Willy Wonka, its the children's equivalent of Friday the 13th. It even has Crazy Ralph!

Man, that scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.
I read that they left out a sub-plot that would have explained his relationship with the crows better.

A lot of animated film moments seemed to horrify you guys.

How about non-animated ones? Anything else come to mind?

I though Fizzgig's introduction was scarier.
