I just had a flash to some bad 80s horror movie and I have no idea what it was. The scene is a woman who is pregnant or her belly looks pregnant, and a green wormy thing comes out of her belly button. Any ideas??

Xtro is from 1983 and has, in my opinion, the most famous disgusting-birth scene in horror movies. In fact, I’ll spoiler box it because it is pretty much Not-Safe-For-Life. 🤮

[It leaves an impression for sure.](https://youtu.be/6M7oT1l0J0w?t=105)

Not a bellybutton and not green worm…but a horror movie birth…

I recognize the green worm belly button birth movie. Its on of the later Troma films. It was on USA Up All Night often, but I can’t search for the name right now. But that’s where to look.

[Edit]

A-yup. That’s Troma’s _Class of Nuke 'Em High_

Cronenberg’s The Fly? There’s an abortion scene with a maggot birth that has scarred me for life.

Still, check out that Xtro birth. It was INSANE.
