We've seen Top 100 scariest moments. Now let's give our ideas for top goofy moments in horror films. These either break the scary mood or make no point in the plot.

I'll start us off while I try to think of some others (wish Crow and Tom Servo was here to help. They are good at this) in no particular order.

1. In Bloodthirsty Butchers, Sweeny Todd gets in a fight with the manager of a music hall backstage and the fight is broken up by a butt-ugly transvestite.
2. The Brain That Wouldn't Die has strippers in a cat-fight.
3. Manos, the Hands of Fate, the wives of Manos get into a funny looking cat-fight.
4. Omega Man and those clips from Woodstock (Warner Bros cross promotion)
5. I'm not sure which one it was, but in one of the Friday the 13th films a dumb kid does a hand stand and spreads his legs apart. Guess where Jason puts the axe.

I did not see  100 scariest movies,was Childs play on it and what scene did they find scary,this is of topic butdid you get your username Ozzymandias of a poem from years ago.

Sleeping bag death in Prophecy.  You can see it in the review here.  One of my favorites.

The entirety of both Dr. Phibes films -- Vincent Price singing "Over the Rainbow" as he poles off on the River Styx.  Can't think of a thing to top that -- even from our Ed Wood.

In "Re-Animator"... the decapitated guy when he gets the girl tied up... you know the scene.

1. Um everything in Killer Klowns from Outer Space
2. The Gun Shot to the head in Cannibal the Musical while he's singing let's build a snowman
3. Heart attack in Bubba Ho-Tep while shotting mummy yelling "a***ole"

Did see the top 100 and yes I took my moniker from the Percy Shelley poem.

Brother Ragnarok

My absolute favorite goofy horror movie moment is in Dr. Butcher, when they drop the mannequin out the window (it's actually supposed to be a body) at the beginning, and when it hits the ground, its arm flies off.

There are only two important things in life - monsters and hot chicks.

Rape is just cause for murdering.
    - Strapping Young Lad

Max Gardner

Sci-Fi Channel just showed another "original" movie called "Gargoyles: Wings of Darkness." The entire movie was a goofy horror movie moment. Borderline softcore porn with silly fake European accents, awful CG gargoyles and some sort of convoluted but ultimately meaningless secret-religious-order subplot. Plus the line "Have you ever heard of gargoyles?" No. No, I haven't.

Although a good film, The Picture of Dorian Grey has that scene in the pub with those goofy tap dancing puppets.

Mr. Hockstatter

Bloood Surf - towards the end, two girls are fleeing the giant crocodile.  When they get away, they start taunting the croc and flash their boobies at it.


BoyScoutKevin

This from the review of "Lair of the White Worm" "Kevin--'goofy' boy scout, seduced and emasculated by Lady Sylvia." If this moment is  good enough for Andrew, it's good enough for me.

Dr. Butcher reminds me:
In both "Dentist" horror movies, there are moments when the camera does a "closeup" on the damage the Dentist is doing to the insides of peoples' mouths.  In each case, the "closeup" is actually a real-size shot of giant, painted, plywood teeth.  It's fun to freeze-frame on the splinters!!

Jack Frost- "look ma I'm a piccaso"

Suspira- the scene where the lady keeps injuring herself -door, window pane, barb wire.  reminded me of the Scene in Naked Gun with O.J.

The Story of Ricky- The books on the "book shelf" in the warden's office are actually Porn vids. It's hard to tell on a small screen, but in the theater it's clear.

Flangepart

A short shot in  the Italian space epicac "War of the robots" While the crew goes to action stations....a chewman pops a tictac. What, he wanrted to meet his doom with fresh breath?

Also, in my cheesey pan and scan of "Yongarry, monster from the deep", while the fleeing populace is, well, fleeing...a woman runs past the hero, heroine and kenny...and she scratches her ass while she runs!
I kid you not!

"Aggressivlly eccentric, and proud of it!"
