Hold up just a minute. This is Chase, Kyle, and Andrew and we're bringing you another short episode at the tail end of spooky season. Today's topic  horrifying scenes in non horror movies. Are you guys ready? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. For sure, dude. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was born for this He was ready for this with the day.

He was born. Yeah He's so ready. Destined. Destined to sit on this couch and talk into a microphone for a podcast that everyone in the world listens to. Everybody in the world. Yeah, we have passed 14 billion listens. Insane. We're rolling in cash. Crazy. We can't, we shouldn't even be doing this right now. We have so much relaxing to do.

This is a waste of our time. We have to be out on our yacht right now. Don't forget. I should be sitting in the middle of Lake Como. Like worrying about this right now  exactly the poor man's like  All right. Awesome. So we have gathered a list of non Horror movie horrifying scenes. I don't think I said that right, but we'll move on .

 So we want to go around the room and talk about these because we've all had TV shows or movies in our past where we had a scene in it that just scared the shit out of us and it felt like it came out of nowhere. 

So Andrew, I'm going to start with you. Give us one Moment  that scared the shit out of you that you didn't see coming So everyone likes  the movie the zodiac   There is a basement scene there at the end of the movie Where , robert graysmith Who is Jake Gyllenhaal is,   incredibly OCD about trying to figure out the, who the Zodiac Killer is.

And he has  a little hint, a little clue that he's following about a man, I think named Bob Vaughn, who made some movie posters that the Zodiac or what  frequented back in the day or something like that. And the movie posters. of that theater were very similar to the Zodiac's handwriting, , and the letters and stuff that he sent to the newspapers and TV stations and whatnot.

So he gets to this dude's house,  he's like, yeah, I want to see, , your, , movie posters. I understand that Bob Vaughn, , created these and his, , handwriting matches the Zodiac's. And the guy stops and he's like, Sir, I wrote those movie posters. I created them and then the dramatic music starts to swell and  gray smith gyllenhaal is like  , what did I get myself into that's not what I wanted to hear and they walk down into the basement And when they're down there, it's dimly lit.

And the first thing he says is sir,  Not many people, , have basements in California. And the guy's like, well, I have one. And, , they're walking through and he's pulling out old canisters, , with these posters. And the guy's like, yeah, look at this one. You hear people walking upstairs and, , Graysmith is like, is someone home?

He's like, nope. Nope, come back and they go further into this like  darkly lit room. They pull out another one and you hear someone to run again. And  the guy who's opening these cans seems unfazed and he feels  It seems like he's like relishing in this moment because he knows that graysmith is scared And  graysmith just starts to leave and the shot's perfect.

It zooms in on this guy's face And he just pulls the light switch down the  old fashioned cord and all goes black and he Gets the hell out of there, but that was one that like, you know, that's that's a horrifying movie in a lot of ways But it's more of a thriller, you know, it's a historical piece.

It's a true crime. It's a true crime Yeah, but that moment was scary as shit and my description probably didn't do it justice, but  It made my skin crawl It was terrifying. That was a really good movie. , and one that kind of fell under the radar for a very long time It felt like or at least like it had some fanfare, but it didn't get the fanfare it deserved It wasn't popular until it came out on like dvd.

I don't think yeah It wasn't a huge hit right off the bat, but great fucking cast. It was a long movie, too Yeah, it's like two and a half hours There is no, , resolution at the end of that movie. , we never figured it out, so he's still out there.  Since then, if you haven't caught up, he has, he, you know, he hasn't been caught, so.

 Supposedly. Yeah, I think, yeah. He was dead, but. Yeah, he got caught. It's not Ted Cruz's father, unfortunately. No. Oh. , I'm going to go with a classic here. I think every kid, From the early  90s We'll remember this scene, but peewee's big adventure When he got into the semi truck with large marge.

Oh goodness, yeah turned and had that horrifying face  when I saw the movie for the first time, I just wasn't like again, it's like a  Adventure comedy you're not expecting something that terrifying  it rocked me and what's the line? Oh, man, I i'm I I should know it's something large marge.

I don't you know?   I remember watching that movie again   And would always have to turn away or make my dad fast forward through  That scene I could not watch that. Hmm  Baby bitch. Baby bitch. That's,  that's what they call me.  I mean, that's what they call you.

That's what they call you. Yeah. And they don't call me that anymore. They call me big bitch now. , Kyle, what about you? ,  Again, most of my selections are always going to be pretty basic because I'm a little basic bitch, but Lord of the Rings. ,  It would be the top of my list. Just again, going off of the nostalgia part, this is most of these are from like, , when I was a kid, , and, I remember the scene in the Fellowship of the Rings when, , , Frodo and Bilbo meet back up in Rivendell after being separated, and you can see Bilbo's kind of aged and this is when Bilbo doesn't have the ring, , and Frodo does, and it , it just kind of falls out of his, , chest real quick, and he sees, he goes, I should very much like to touch that ring again, , and Frodo it, and he goes, and Bilbo goes, Frodo! 

And just like lunges contorts and the power of the ring changes him, , for a split second and I thought that was terrifying, , because it's, it took somebody  who loves this other person and just for a split second, just like, Completely contorts them into something that you think that like he would kill roto for that ring and I thought that was fucking scary , and  At the in the return of the king shale, , shalob's lair.

 Specifically when , he gets kind of in the depths of the cave and Gollum's like, ,  something little fly. Why does it cry? , and he's like taunting Frodo and then Frodo backs up and gets  caught up in all these bones and shit and, and he gets out his, ,  I can't remember what all the nerds are going to get after me, but I can't remember what he pulls out, but the vial of, uh.

Nerds don't listen to this podcast. They don't. Nah, fuck them. , but he pulls out his little vial of water that lights up .  That what's if what's his faith glad real gave him and in the background you just see something that you thought was a rock Just kind of unfold and unfurl into this fucking giant spider which they modeled after a funnel web spider  , cause in the books,  Shaleb does not look like that.

It's not a spider.  I thought it was more effective. I was freaked the fuck out from that moment until it stabs Frodo with the stinger. , just scary, scary, scary. Okay. , that's a good one. Gollum himself is terrifying. And Gollum's hard to watch.

Andrew,  what about your next one?  , , we're in a darker movie here, but the  gas station scene with Anton Chigurh in No Country for Old Men, where he just  walks in and the man's like, I see you're from Dallas. How's the weather up there? And he just gets pissed immediately. What business is of yours?

Yeah,  I've been in that situation though where I'm like in a gas station and someone's asked me just a question about my personal life or like where I've been. Yeah, and you're just  taking and taking it back. You're like, well just bring up my Doritos and my fucking Diet Coke and let me get out of here.

But they're in the middle of Fuckin nowhere, texas that guy's been waiting all day all day to talk to someone. So someone and of course, it's some sociopathic Enraged killer who you know pulls out a coin don't put it in your pocket how much you ever lost in a coin toss  and Did the whole tension, you know, or what's the motion for lost in a coin toss?

I think is the , is that correct? It's like what a five minute scene and  It builds for us as viewers is like anyone else is just a random moment in time But it builds because like, you know He's gonna kill that old man. Yeah, that man did nothing. He's just living and working at a gas station that he acquired from his, , wife's father and  He was at Chigurh's will and I don't know just the tension there  is so palpable 

 The ending line too is very Poetic where he's just like don't put it in your pocket. It's your lucky coin. Yes, your lucky coin He's like it's just a coin or is it? Mm hmm, and he walks out. Yeah. Yeah, great. Great fucking scene though.  Probably the peak of the Coen brothers writing right there I would say potentially I mean, they've had some good stuff since then but that's like just perfect perfect cinema cinema.

,  did anybody see who framed Roger Rabbit? Yeah, of course long time ago. Do you remember the dip? In that movie the dip so he  wanted to take over and basically Long story short without spoiling the movie but kill all the cartoon characters  And so he was putting cartoon characters in this acid  And at one point he puts like this cartoon shoe It's like a looney tune shoe  And he's like slowly submerging it Into this vat of acid and the shoe is like screaming.

Oh, yeah bloody murder as it's just being like  Incinerated and  that one stuck with me for a very long time  I still think that seems like incredibly horrifying. Yeah  That's a good one a sentient shoe sentient shoe. That shoe looks so lovely though from a children's movie   Kyle what you got i'm gonna do one short one and one medium one  So the dark knight   , it's a dark movie, , but,  I think it was in high school when that came out, , and I remember just seeing it in theaters, and it's particularly the point where he abducts the guy who's pretending to be Batman,  .

And , he's like, why are you dressed up like the Batman? And he's like, so we don't have to worry about creeps like you. And he goes,  he started doing his whole like fucking weird psycho bullshit. And then , he does something. He's , he's like, look at me. And he doesn't look at it. And he goes, look at me.

  That grabbed my attention. And in a way that I was like,  That's, that's really, cause he, he's gonna kill, he's gonna kill him. Did you answer during the movie, were you like, I'm looking at you, I'm looking at you. Well I promise, I'm looking at you daddy.  He's doing this to toy with him.

He doesn't have a choice, so  he has to look at him because  he's gonna kill him.  This is the last moments of this guy's life and I realized that I was like, fuck me. That's really fucking scary , and then another one  ex machina. I don't know if you guys have seen ex machina.

Love it , I don't consider that a horror movie. I think that is a sci fi think piece more than anything for sure , but the very ending of that movie how everything kind of pans out and uh spoiler alert  One man gets fucking murdered, he gets it out easy. The other man is locked in a room for the rest of his life and he didn't really necessarily even do anything wrong.

And, , just knowing, , there's no way out of this room, ever. You're gonna die there. In that room, by yourself. While this sentient A. I. is going to go out and do whatever the fuck she wants to do because she used you. This machine used you to get out of here and it was smarter than you and it trapped you.

And in this trap that it laid, , ends your life. . That was also the first time I ever did ACID. And I watched that I watched that movie that's an emission right here on this podcast Yeah, yeah, it's past statute of limitations. Fuck me. ,  But I remember watching that on acid and I mean it didn't freak me out or anything.

I just thought that it was like It was  Very well done movie and the end of that is just like fucking whoof   Okay And gave us some detail too that we  context either needed or done  Oh, you needed it at the same time. Um  I want to throw this one out there  Because I'm in the headspace of all the kids movies. I watched it scared the shit out of me unintentionally  Tarzan  Do you remember Clayton's hanging scene? 

no, where Clayton accidentally, hangs himself with a vine. Oh, yeah, and it's like a good pole It's like a raining scene So all you see is the like lightning strike and you see a shadow in the background hanging from the tree Mm hmm  That one was one of the first movies I remember seeing  in like, I guess just quantifying death in that way  Like my eyes were wide open and  the credits just going through and I was just staring and sitting there just blankly Watching that happen  That one scared me   some of these kid movies i'm glad you've remembered chase because   i had forgotten them I haven't seen them in so long and that's definitely You know tarzan .

That's a that's one of the better disney movies. I think and it's one of the best soundtracks  Yeah easily  Did us a favor He had no business going that hard on that He did though. He did us all a  favor  You know, we're talking about some kids movies. 

We don't have to do a complete spiel , but Brave Little Toaster, which we have yet to fully review. No, we're gonna do that soon, folks. It needs to happen, , with the fun twist that we'll have on that one. Absolutely. , there's a scene at the beginning when the air conditioning machine just like blows out and it's essentially him like, Killing himself  and like  it's dark as shit and you don't expect it and  six seven year old me.

I remember I re watched this movie a couple months ago and it brought back so many Unsettling memories like this was a movie that you know, you enjoyed but  it was a journey to watch And this was one of those scenes and there's another one where They're in like  a work repair shop for like parts.

And they had been, , found by this dude who was going to break them down and sell their,  their individual pieces.  I think I eat the licorice. I believe so. Yeah. Kind of a rotund dude. Yeah.  Save them.  Smith a little bit. Yeah, for sure. , but there's a scene in like , that shop where it gets like psychedelic and there's like evil clowns and just  dark, weird shit that, you know, maybe  a seven year old   shouldn't watch.

And it's  throws in hallucinogenic images and , it's a trip, it's a trip and it really  sends you somewhere. Stay tuned. Stay tuned. Yeah.  Kyle. Yeah, , I'll do my one and only  kids movie that I have to do some more reflecting on because I know there's more kids movie that scared the shit out of me, but very basic.

This was like young. This was like five, four or five year old me. One of the few memories I do have as I don't have a great memory, if you can tell. Um, but what I do remember from all the acid, 

, and the alcohol or the drinking paint, drinking paint usually, , and the head trauma, but, ,  So, Beauty and the Beast, like near the beginning, I think it's the beginning of that movie when , the dad of Belle is  lost on the grounds and he goes in and he's, he knows the beast is there and he's like, fuck, fuck, fuck.

He sits down in the chair and he looks one way. Looks left looks right looks left and he looks right again And the beast is like right in front of his face like that scared the piss shit out of you , a little jump scare there. That was a really good jump scare and I always thought that was a really well done scene leave it to those Early disney movies to like either break your heart or just scare the shit out of you In just these weird ways, 

they went to dark places. They didn't hold back. The witch in Snow White. Oh, yeah. Ooh, yeah. . Especially with her little fucking apple. , trying to offer it like some lady at a grocery store. Here you go, as a sample. At Sam's Club at 9am in the morning.  All right,  Andrew, what you got?

Scarecrow  and Batman Begins. Mmm. That's a good one. Yeah, you talked about Batman. That got me thinking.  That was a Kind of terrifying moment where he, ,  Sprays  the victim with the hallucinogenic drug and then puts the mask on and it just kind of transformed into this like decaying Scarecrow creature  it's dark.

It's dark.  Another one. This is a classic one 2001 a space odyssey  open the pod bay doors. Hal I'm, sorry, dave I'm afraid I can't do that.  How you know proceeds to kill two other members of the crew And  ,  That's a once in a generation movie first of its kind essentially You know the emptiness of space and ai taking over your ship and kind of ruining your mission  and killing  your co workers What year was that again?

68 I think .  A lot of the SFX they did in that were groundbreaking, nothing had been like that ever. , 2001 Space Odyssey influenced so many, , space sci fi movies to this day.

. Here's the thing, it's still, we don't even need to watch the movie, that movie still holds up. Oh, without a doubt. , that's an infamous line and I think it is pretty terrifying when you think about it. Yeah. 100%. , Chase, did you have , one because I think I'll save this one. I've got two and I'll just finish my two.

, one that I also remember as a kid because my dad loved this movie and we watched it a lot and I remember it terrified me when we watched it together. But in Willy Wonka, there's two scenes in  that , scared me. , one, the acid trip that they go on when they go through the tunnel on the ship and , , it is this crazy, just.

Almost like clockwork orange to get more keep without doubt   in that kind of scene and then the same movie where he Forces the kid to eat the cake.  Yeah that augustus. Yeah  I remember not wanting chocolate cake after that  Kind of rude. Well, I hate chocolate cake So i've never wanted it and then I thought about you when I when I was thinking through this list because I thought about scooby doo The movie where zombie yeah where they're on  the dirt bikes And the girl gets her face like she hits the like a twig or something while they're on there And then she fixes her face.

That's right. Yeah, that scared the shit out of me, too   okay, last one for me, and you know, some may not be as familiar with this, but Nocturnal Animals with Jake Gyllenhaal,  great, great movie. , very underrated in my opinion. Have not seen it. It's a, oh dear. No dude, that's a good one, you need to watch that.

Story within a story. Yeah. Yeah. So the main story isn't based in real life It is an actual like fictional writing but you are transported there and it starts off, you know, Jake Gyllenhaal  And I think it's Isla Fisher. It's his wife and they have a daughter and they're driving through the West Texas desert in the middle of the night Oh God and they get Approached on the road by this like speeding car.

It's these three local ruffians who,   they seem like they're just trying to cause trouble, but then it gets dark and , they force them off the road and essentially they kidnap his daughter and wife and drive off into the dark night. And that build up there, , it just kind of sets the tone for the rest of the movie, but my heart was pounding.

I mean, it is, the vast emptiness of the desert with the darkness being approached by evil entities, real human entities in the middle of the night, and just taken from underneath you, like, that is, that's a tough one.  So, yeah that one, , never left my memory bank.  All right. That's a good one to wrap up on.

Kyle, what about you? What's your, give us one more. I've got 2 more. 2 more So these  are, it's two because they're both interrelated, you'll see what I mean. , but, , one's Saving Private Ryan and the other one's Schindler's List. So, both very, very, very related movies. A lot, a lot. Very heavy. Yeah, very heavy.

Incredibly heavy movies that I, again. Pretty much almost a horror movie without being a horror movie at that point. Yes. , I would agree completely. And I did see these as a child. I think I was about eight or nine years old when I saw, or I was about eight when I saw Saving Private Ryan. And I was about 15 or 16 when I saw Schindler's List.

Can I take a guess that you're gonna go with the D Day beach scene in Normandy? Yes, there's that scene, yes. Because that, that entire scene just like really opened my eyes to like how fleeting life is and how dumb war is. , like war is stupid, war is hell, war is absolutely Unnecessary, but that war was necessary.

Yeah. , and that's one of the reasons why it was just so heartbreaking and just so horrific to see how much the, how all that portrayed and , how many lives can be extinguished in the matter of seconds.  I don't know what the casualties were on that day, but it was, , tens of thousands of people on both sides that were, , murdered quickly.

 , . A lot of those,  drop ships, just as soon as they let down the entire, the entire boat couldn't even get off the boat. Yeah, no. , and , just among the other things that happened, , that whole scene and just like the amount of courage that like those men had on that beach  just to get up and go, regardless of whether or not they're going to be killed or not, ,  really  sat with me and made me rethink a lot of stuff that I had already thought at eight or nine years old.

Pretty crazy. , Made you go into insurance. Yeah Schindler and then Schindler's List another very very very very heavy movie that is very a necessary watch for everybody, , I would say historically speaking and  specifically the scene  with the watchmaker When they're making, when he's making the watches and the commandant comes up to him and goes like, how many watches can you make?

 And he's like, I said, you did a really good job. Make me a watch really quick. Oh, makes her quick, makes her watch really quick. Had stops his stopwatch and goes, Oh my gosh, that's cool. How come you haven't finished? X amount of watches. You're really behind on your quota. And you know what that means?

That means you're inefficient. And we, you know what happens when the finish inefficient people, when he like beckons for his people to take them over, it takes them outside and they go to execute him with three other officers around. And they tried to shoot him once and the gun fails, , try to do it again, try to fix it, try to fix it says, nevermind.

Holster says, give me your gun real quick. And this is all just so nonchalant. It's like a business transaction. And the other guy goes, it's almost like, give me my pen's not working. Give me your pen. , And the other guy gets his, , and he tries to fire and his gun misfires and they go back and forth like this for like two minutes and this man is just contemplating every, like, the last couple seconds of his life and then they just go, eh, whatever, let's go get lunch  and that whole thing just like the depravity and like , the absolute nonchalance , and just like detachment from humanity in that scene.

Really  stuck with me. Um, and, and just, really sad. You could even add, , the opening scene from Inglourious Bastards into that. Yeah, sure. , it's very much akin to that whole thing. I would say Schindler's List sat with me more because that was a real,  actually happened. , obviously Inglourious Bastards, that is a, all of it's very fictional.

But , , it hits the same kind of tone. , and, that's  That to me has got to be like the most realistically scary thing  In all of this stuff that i've said that's the one that kind of scares me the most .  Well as you can tell there's plenty of movies out there with horrifying scenes that may not be classified as a Horror movie that's just some of our list.

We want to hear from you We want to hear about movies that scared the shit out of you that probably shouldn't have Or maybe you just want to yell at us about our list and call us babies for being scared of nothing And that's it for hold up just a minute. We look forward to halloween as we dive into the blair witch project We'll see you guys then Okay. Bye
