I was in a strange and bizarre funk this last weekend and decide to watch my video of “Titus”. The Shakespear/Anthony Hopkins/very weird movie, not the television show.
As I was watching it, I realize that I couldn’t think of any other movie scene that gave me the creepy-crawlies as much as the one from this movie.
***** SPOILER *****
Forget Freddy Kruger or Linda Blair, the absolute creepiest scene of any more is the scene where Titus’ brother finds his niece hanging in the forest of rotted tree stumps. Still alive, her hands cut off and replaced by bundles of twigs, skin ghostly white to match her flowing white petticoat, curly dark hair falling around her face, vacant eyes, tongue cut out.
Then. . . . this give me the shivers just thinking about it. Then. . . .
She leans toward her uncle, reaching out with her twig hands, all the while a breeze it blowing through her dark hair and white slip, eyes staring in horror and then she opens her mouth to let a ribbon of blood flow into the breeze.
Oh Jeeezuz! It gives me nightmares!
Any other movie scene have this affect on you guys?
