Appeal to all horror fans: help us write!

[Seher Fett]

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. A friend of mine and I are forming a comedy duo, and for a sketch we're writing. We are not experts at horror films, and we need to name a string of horror scenes with eccentric forms of torture. But we don't know any.

So if you'd like to help us, you can name a bizzare form of torture and the film it's from. The crazier and grimmer the better. Kind regards!

In Witchfinder General the female lead is bound to a rack and tortured with hot pokers while her lover is forced to watch.

In Goya's Ghost, not a horror movie but horrible enough, the female lead have her hands bound behind her back and she in left to hang from her wrists from the roof.

In Buffy the Vampire Slayer, in one of the episodes a vampire is held down while Buffy tortures her by placing a cross in her mouth, which in the setting of the series burns vampires like acid.

In Vampirella a vampire get bound to a chair while a vampire hunter in intimate detail describes what will happens if he gives him an injection of holy water, while the hunter do not follow through on the threat it can still be considered torture.

In the Elsa movies there are two many torture scenes to mention, people get raped, have their teeth slowly pulled out, have the most creative things placed in their privates. In fact all three movies could be said to be one long torture scene.

In Brotherhood of Blood a vampire is tried to a table by vampire hunters who both beat him, torture him in various ways and then pull his teeth out, all while he screams and begs.

In the Realm of the Senses, in the last scene the main character mutilates and strangles her willing sex partner.

I almost forgot, you have a great whipping scene in Starship Troopers. While you do not see the wounds, you see the face of the victim and his reaction and it is amazing.

In the TV series Stargate Atlantis a Wraith, a sort of space vampire is captured, he get the name Bob, and is thrown in a cell where he is then tortured by being shot over and over between questions until he dies.

In The Da Vinci Code, while not strictly speaking horror you have a scene where Silas tighten a strap with nails around his thigh and then begins to whip himself.

In Blade you have a scene where Blade and his female friend comes into the vampire's archives, there they meet a vampire who is to fat to move named Pearl, now Jenson, Blade's female friend tortured Pearl with a UV light which causes horrid burns and then turn up the intensity slowly burning him to death once he have given her the information they need.

Off course you have the scene in the Pit and the Pendulum where a man get strapped to a table where a sharp pendulum get slowly lowered unto him, that is not to mention all the other torture scenes in this film, in fact it is hard to go ten minutes without someone being tortured.

And just as a honorable mention. The first torture scene I ever saw. I was a little girl and on the TV screen a light sensitive creature was strapped to a chair and a sunlamp was turned on her. Now you might be wondering what horrible things I was watching as a child, however here is the shocker, this was in Rainbow Brite. Yes in the cartoon show Rainbow Brite, a show intended for girls from two or three and up to perhaps then or eleven there is a torture scene. Moonglow, a little girl in charge of making night is kidnapped and tortured with a sunlamp, marvelous so we have sparkly ponies running on stars, little girls with cutsy magical powers and torture. :P

The film doesn't show anything close to what the book describes - but American Psycho has some simply revolting torture scenes. A car battery hooked up to a woman's nipples and the introduction of a rat to another woman's private parts spring to mind. Those are from the book. Like I said, the film goes nowhere near those extremes.
