Horror Scenes That I Love: The Bridge Attack Scene From Two Orphan Vampires

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Today’s horror scene that I love comes from the 1997 French film, Two Orphan Vampires.

I knew that I really wanted to share a scene from Two Orphan Vampires on this date.  It’s my favorite Jean Rollin film.  Unfortunately, most of the really good scenes have been taken off of YouTube.  That said, I do like the way Rollin uses the color blue in this scene and the opening image of those two blind vampires walking across the bridge is still a strong one.  When viewed out of context, the attack on the poet may be seen weak but actually it’s just another example of Rollin’s dream-like aesthetic.  If the attack on the poet seems fake, that may be because it wasn’t supposed to have really happened.

Watch the film and it’ll make sense.

Today’s horror scene that I love is from 1992’s Candyman.

For the record, after watching this film, I stood in front of a mirror and I said Candyman three times.  I’m waiting until I have something to be mad about before I say it two more times.

Today’s Horror Scene that I love comes from 1981’s The Howling.

In this scene, a news anchor played by Dee Wallace attempts to prove to the world that vampires exist.  Unfortunately, even in 1981, television audiences were pretty jaded.

Horror Scenes That I Love: Danny Meets The Girls In The Shining

Today’s horror scene that I love is from 1980’s The Shining.

(As much as I loved It and regardless of King’s own opinion, Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining remains the best Stephen King adaptation to date.)

I’ve seen this scene a hundred times.

It still freaks me out.
