NOT SAFE FOR WORK: Top 13 WTF Moments in Horror
Crucifix Masturbation Scene – The Exorcist (1973)
Okay, you’d imagine that the title of this section pretty much describes everything you need to recall this insanely disturbing scene, but let’s replay it all, shall we? First, we have young Regan MacNeil jabbing a crucifix into her crotch screaming, “Let Jesus Christ fuck you.” Okay, horror fans might be able to handle that, but for the average movie goer, we’re already off the charts. From here she grabs her mother’s head (played by Ellen Burstyn) and pushes it down into her now bloody nether region. Then the scene commences with one of the most iconic shots in the history of horror: the headspin scene. Yep. This one is definitely NSFW!
Infant Head Stomp – The Human Centipede 2 (2011)
It’s hard to believe that Dr. Heiter would not be extreme enough to make this list, but that is indeed the case. It’s the sequel, featuring Laurence R. Harvey as Martin, that makes the grade. And strangely, it’s not even the direct human centipede scenes that are the most disturbing, although when Martin gives each member of his ‘centipede’ a laxative, that’s damn close to earning a spot on the list. It’s actually the pregnant woman, Rachel, whom we’ll focus on. Left for dead, she suddenly awakens and bolts from Martin’s room of horrors; Rachel then jumps into a car in an attempt to escape. In an instance of unfortunately bad timing, she goes into labor at this same moment. Leaping into the car, the baby suddenly burst forth from her loins. Unfortunately, its head lands right under the accelerator pedal just as Rachel stomps on it in a frantic attempt to escape Martin. Squish. And, just like that, a WTF moment is born.
