“Hey that’s not so bad- SWEET JESUS”

[u/_JR28_]

A shot is set up in such a way where it looks fine from one angle, then they reveal another that makes it look way worse

Infinity War - Thanos reveals Nebula hanging up imprisoned, then when the camera follows Gamora going to her we see that mechanical components are stretched out and her head and body are in pieces.

Breaking Bad - Hector sets off a bomb in a murder suicide against Gus but he seems to walk out fine impossibly, then the camera moves to in front of him and you see half of his face is just not there anymore.

I keep seeing people post things like the Ghost Ship wire scene, and it reminded me of the lawyer's death in 13 Ghosts.

The house in the movie is made entirely of glass, and the basement imprisoning the ghosts will frequently change. At one point the lawyer character is slowly backing away from an approaching ghost and you see a dramatic shot of one of the glass doors sliding swiftly shut. At first he seems fine, but with a shocked look on his face. Then his glasses break off, his tie slips off of him, and a single drop of blood runs down his temple. Then the front half of him just flops/slides down revealing that the glass door cut him in half vertically and the inside of back half of his body is revealed still pressed against the other side of the glass.

I forgot there was ghost tiddies in that movie

It's one of the things I remember most because of the bathtub scene freaking me out when I was younger. Now as an adult I just kind of think it's a funny scene because of the ghost's girl's attitude. She's not even being evil or anything, she's just getting annoyed at the living girl interrupting her while she's trying to have a ghost bath, like "excuse me, do you fucking mind??"

One of the ghosts is just all tiddy

As a kid, I happened to walk thru the living room when my uncle and grandparents were watching this and I happened to catch this scene. Honestly traumatized me for a while.

Now as a 30 year old I can appreciate the practical effects! Gnarly death scene

This happened to me with Silent Hill... Hadn't seen a second of the movie, but I walked in when pyramid head rips the lady's skin off.

[u/GoddessKillion → u/Xentrax607]

Same, but it was the scene of the lady being pressed between the glass and hearing her bones snap.

when the group reconvenes, notices his absence, and someone asks “did the lawyer split?” assuming he ran off haha. love this movie!

[u/Trezzie → u/hayley3900]

That's the moment that stuck with me. Probably my earliest memory of a joke in a horror film.

I remember thinking this was so incredibly awesome, but horrifying as a child.

[u/SalemScout → u/Human_Personface]

100% one of my favorite horror films. Absolute masterpiece.
