Sex & Shenanigans

I’m curious. I was scanning through the “types of horror, yay/nay” discussion, and the emotional impact it has.
What scenes in film or TV just plain stick in your head and always get an emotional reaction from you, horror or otherwise? Why?
The nailing to the cross in The Passion. Saw it 20 years ago, and then again this year, still couldn't make it through without turning away.

The other is video we called "Pred Porn." It was the raw footage of the Predators in theater and what they were doing. After that, I shy away from anything torturing, mutilating, or killing people.
 
I was worried you might think that and the painful four minutes of silence on this thread made me realize that. 😆

There is no wrong answer really as long as you aren't insulting someone or degrading anyone. 😉
Well... but aren't we supposed to insult @Bry1313 ?? I thought that was a requirement in the bylaws or something. 🤔 🤔 🤔
 
I'll bite.

Anything involving the death of an animal. Human death I don't always cry. Human torture, I'm out.

I can get more specific with names of television shows and movies a little later.

*pinned for later*
I can’t do animal deaths…. It’s a nope for me.

I also can’t watch a man shaving … no clue why.

I’m also forever traumatized by Per Semetary when the little boy cuts the old man’s Achilles heel … *retch* …. I can still FEEL that in my brain.
 
Didn't see it until I was an adult. I think we had Mickey's Christmas Carol on vhs, and as I got older I saw several other versions, but not the muppet one for a while after that.

I'm actually curious, since in my limited exposure it seems most Americans who grew up with the muppets reckon that version is the best (and it's good, but not my favourite, I like the Alastair Sim one) - am I an outlier here, or do other people who didn't grow up with the muppets not lean into that version quite so much?
The reason it is the best is that Michael Cain thoroughly ignored that the rest of the cast were Muppets and played it completely, perfectly straight. He acted as if he were on stage with the Royal Shakespeare Company, and nailed it.

And Tim Curry was in Muppet Treasure Island, which was also one of the greatest as a Muppet movie and an adaptation of Treasure Island, because he did the opposite. He acted as if he were a Muppet, and nailed it.

I personally am just freaked when I see people being awful to each other for the sake of being awful. The usual someone getting shot usually doesn't affect me too much... but it has affected me before. But using anything for the sake of hurting someone on purpose?? No. Freaks me out. And if there are kids or young women being abused, I want to go do something to them... something they won't like.

Freaks me out, I hate that stuff.
 
The scene in Se7en were the Lust guy is describing what happened. Fuck, his voice breaking fucks me up. Whenever I see that actor in anything else that’s all I can hear.
One that always gets me is in Marvel’s Daredevil (originally in Netflix) when the Punisher monologues about losing his daughter.
One of the most haunting lines I’ve ever heard, and his delivery was perfect:
“…the next time I see her I be holding her lifeless body in my arms. Meat was spilling out of her, Red. The place where her face used to be.”

I don’t mind that kind of horror … but there is a genre of horror that is referred to as “torture porn” … it can be a bit much.

Yeah, I’ve only seen The Passion once, and that scene….im not religious whatsoever, but I had tears falling when I saw that

The last shot in The Blair Witch Project when you get the quick glimpse of the guy standing in the corner….that also messed me up.

When the girl crawls out of the TV in the Ring

The mom breastfeeding the crow in The Witch

Anything in the tunnels before they meet the monsters on The Descent.

Greta Gerwig’s scene in House of the Devil

Wait are we doing more than horror 🤣

I think Tim Curry might very well be a muppet
 
If it helps… what is something naughty you would like to do today?
OMG... I'm sure I have a list....
tell us… describe it… take pleasure in the happening of it…
Hmmm... I could think of some stuff to write about...
Then make it happen.
EEEERRRK!!! Hard brakes there! I can't make it happen, I don't have someone I'm in love with the explore all my myriad of kinky thoughts. So... I'm totally out of luck there. And once that thought crosses my mind again, then all thoughts of exploring what I would love to do start depressing me and make me feel alone again. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I am such a pain in my own ass!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I do not remember who got me to watch that vile piece of crap of a movie, but I truly wish, with all my heart, I had never seen it. I am pretty sure I watched the whole thing, freaking out - and I don't know why I didn't just leave. That is some very evil stuff that really freaked me out.
