> [@42fish](#): > > Is “Repulsion” the other one? No. The other film, like _The Haunting_, features a scene where the heroine runs around the house (in her nightgown both times, IIRC), with all sorts of slanty camera angles and fish-eye distortions to indicate that she’s gone over the edge. Plus, both my movies are scary in black & white. 🙂 ---

> [@Miss Mapp](#): > > Plus, both my movies are scary in black & white. 🙂 Oh, and although I’m sure I’m right about the movies you were thinking of, _The Haunting_ and _Repulsion_ _were_ both in black and white. Or did you mean that _Repulsion_ wasn’t scary? (If that’s what you meant, I agree, it wasn’t. The ironing scene was _hilarious_, though I expect it was meant to be creepy.) ---

Or did you mean that _Repulsion_ wasn’t scary? (If that’s what you meant, I agree, it wasn’t. The ironing scene was _hilarious_, though I expect it was meant to be creepy.) It was a kind of hint/in-joke. I only meant that both films were mentioned over the weekend in another thread: [What Black and White movie scared you but good?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=314558) When I saw that, I was sure someone would guess my two movies right away (see my message at the top of this page). No criticism of _Repulsion_ was intended. ---

I opened that thread specifically so I could mention _The Innocents_, but someone beat me to it. ---

> [@CalMeacham](#): > > 2.) 1984 movies in which heroine Kate Capshaw sees the villain reach into someone’s chest with his bare hand and pull out the beating heart of his victim. Miraculously, the victim survives this, only to be killed shortly thereafter. _Temple of Doom_ and _Dreamscape_ were given as answers, but to be precise, Kate Capshaw wasn’t in that particular scene in _Dreamscape_. Dennis Quaid was the one who gasped “You sick bastard!” (which never fails to crack me up). [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/name-the-movies/301742.md?page=3)
