Movie Mix-Tape: Moments of Dread

The Neverending Story: "We don't even care...whether or not we care..."


28 Days Later: A rage-infected chimp banging its head against the side of its cage. Harder. And Harder.


Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb: "Mr. President, we cannot allow a mine shaft gap!"


Audition: A man in a burlap sack, rolling across the floor.


Songs from the Second Floor: The assembled luminaries of a small town stand at the edge of a cliff, waiting patiently for a young girl in her Sunday best to walk over the edge as a sacrifice.


The Seventh Seal: A procession of chained, damned souls slouching across the crest of a distant hill.


Ghost World: A slack-jawed, portly young man in a Starter jacket stands in a video store, staring up at a television screen, slurping away at an inhumanly large cup of soda.


Videodrome: "Death to Videodrome, long live the new flesh."


Invasion of the Body Snatchers: Kevin McCarthy standing in the middle of a busy street, screaming his warning to the sky, while cars pass on obliviously.


Rosemary's Baby: The jolliest bunch of middle-aged Satan worshipers you've ever seen celebrating at a baby shower for their new messiah.
