ORIGINAL: PeonForHer I've never really been 'horrified' by horror films, as such. Thrilled, excited, maybe - but I've never taken them all that seriously. At times, they even make me burst out laughing. Anyone else feel this way about them? Anyway, favourite scene ever: One of the George A. Romero "Zombies" flicks. A group of uncouth punk rockers (one of whom is a girl who rejoices in the nickname "Trash") is beset by zombies in a churchyard. They get into a crypt - whereupon they see a zombie, with his back to them, bent over a stiff's head. (Fortunately, we don't see said head.) He's chomping and slurping away, happily mumbling "Brains! Brains!!" to himself. The punk rockers are unsurprisingly aghast. "What *is* that thing?', one says - and chucks a brick at its head. Whereupon, the zombie stands, turns an entirely skeletal head towards the punk rockers and cries joyfully, "MORE brains!' That wasn't one of Romero's zombie movies. But it had an unintentionally hilarious part in it when an amputee actor was a zombie and was chasing after someone and slipped and went headfirst into a tombstone. In the original Dawn of the Dead, a man is so obsessed with one of those blood pressure cuffs that he keeps trying to use it, even when he's surrounded by zombies. He eventually gets eaten while trying to use it.
