From the original and still the best Halloween.
“Was that the Boogeyman?”

Scenes That I Love: The Silver Shamrock Broadcast From Halloween III: Season of the Witch
From 1982’s Halloween III: Season of the Witch.
It’s almost time.
Silver Shamrock!
Scenes That I Love: The Bees Attack In The Swarm
From 1978’s The Swarm.
“Bees! Bees! Millions of bees!”
“Bees?”
Richard Widmark can barely believe it either. Well, can you blame him?
Scenes That I Love: Nic Cage Meets The Bees in The Wicker Man Update
From the 2006 remake of The Wicker Man.
Actually, I don’t know if love is quite the right word. I’m actually kind of annoyed that The Wicker Man has gone from being one of the best horror films of the 70s to being known for the remake’s bees scene. That’s one reason why remakes, in general, are not a good thing. That said, for the record, I don’t like bees either.
Horror Scenes I Love: The Dead Rise From The Ground In Poltergeist
This is from 1982’s Poltergeist.
I love Craig T. Nelson’s delivery of the headstones speech. James Karen is staring at him the whole time like he’s thinking, “Is anyone going to say ‘cut?'”
Scenes That I Love: In Heaven, Everything Is Fine From Eraserhead
From David Lynch’s 1977 film, Eraserhead.
Just a reminder that, “In Heaven, everything is fine.”
And Heaven is apparently behind your radiator.
“But Lisa, what is the scene about?”
Well, according to Lynch, the whole movie is “a dream of dark and disturbing things.” Is that woman really living behind Jack Nance’s radiator and singing that everything is fine, despite the fact that there’s also a mutant baby in the apartment? She may be. Or she might just be a figment of someone’s imagination.
Perhaps it’s best not to worry too much about the how’s and the why’s.
Never stop dreaming.
Horror Scenes That I Love: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Finale
Today’s scene comes from the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which is one of the greatest horror films ever made. Needless to say, since this is the final scene, it’s a huge spoiler if you somehow haven’t seen this movie.
Enjoy, dance, or laugh maniacally. I leave it up to you.
Horror Scenes I Love: The Television Scene From Ringu
Yesterday, in a comment, Michael McClure mentioned this scene as a scary one and you know what? He’s right!
So, I decided — why not share it today?
Now, of course, if this scene seems familiar, that’s because it was later remade as The Ring. This, however, is from the Japanese original.
From 1998’s Ringu, here’s a scene that I love!
Horror Scenes That I Love: Smashing The Mirror in The Boogey Man
Ulli Lommel’s 1980 slasher film The Boogey Man is a pretty silly movie but I do like this scene. The idea of seeing something in the reflection of a mirror that doesn’t appear to actually be in the room is one of my top nightmare fuels.
Plus, after the storms we had last night and the fact that there’s still debris all over the place and just driving from one location to another is kind of a pain in the ass right now, there’s just something satisfying about watching a mirror get destroyed.
Break, baby, break!
Horror Scenes That I Love: Nosferatu on the Death Ship
Since I seem to be in a bit of a vampiric mood tonight, how about a scene from the 1922 classic, Nosferatu, for today’s scene that I love?
This scene features the titular vampire taking over a boat and it proves that movies didn’t need to be scary.
Enjoy!
(As a reminder, if you like this scene, you can watch the whole movie by clicking here!)
