Sure these gems are clichéd to death. Yet if I personally see any of ‘em up on the big screen, rest assured I’ll end up in the fetal position peeing my pants and crying like a little girl.
#1 – GHOST KID
Why I cry like a bitch? Seeing those dark, beady little eyes on that white pasty body…YEESH!!! Add a hissing cat to the mix and I’m done for the night.
#2 – THE OL’ CLOSING THE MEDICINE CABINET ROUTINE
Movies: American Werewolf in London, Shaun of the Dead, and a zillion others.
Why I cry like a bitch? The sudden surprise shock followed by an eerie expression on the freaky monster's face (see for yourself).
#3 –RUNNING IN THE SHADOWS
Movie: Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Why I cry like a bitch? It usually happens in the “calm before the blood ‘n guts storm” portion of the movie. The protagonist is also somewhat oblivious to it. So of course I’m mentally screaming, ”HEY MORON! TURN AROUND YOU’RE ABOUT TO…" [SLICE] Too late. :(
#4 – ANYTHING MADE OF WOOD, PLASTIC, OR CERAMIC
Movies: Poltergeist, Child’s Play, and Dead Silence
Why I cry like a bitch? You see the doll like a zillion times not moving (to build up the tension). Then BLAMO, the lightning crashes and the doll moves its head or blinks. Mommy!!!!
#5 – THE BAMBI-LIKE STARE RIGHT BEFORE THEY FALL TO PIECES
Movies: Resident Evil 2, Ghost Ship, Final Destination 2, etc.
Why I cry like a bitch? The scary part is not that they just got hacked to death. It’s the fact that they get cut up so fast the peeps don’t realize it. Then slowly they fall part. That sad expression right before the first slab falls freaks the $#@$ out of me.
#6- SILVER BALLS OF DEATH
Movies: Phantasm 2
Why I cry like a bitch? These little silver balls have all kinds of drills and hacksaws. Then they just fly around decapitating people and chopping off body parts for 90 minutes. Trust me, it's a lot scarier than it sounds.
