19 Movie Scenes That Unwittingly Gave Us The Heebie-Jeebies

by Jesse

As weird as it may seem, many people love horror movies. Although these movies cause anxiety and stress by stimulating the neurological system, people can't seem to get enough of them.

It's why horror movies are one of the most famous movie genres in the world. We all have our favorite horror movies, don't we?

There is one significant distinction between people who love horror movies and people who don't. The former savors a good adrenaline rush, while the latter are hypersensitive and may be more likely to have intense physiological reactions to horror films.

Imagine watching a movie you expect to go on without feeling the creeps coming in, only to witness some unsettling activities. These movie scenes did that to us.

We can't tell if the directors planned to unsettle people intentionally or the scenes just got away from them, and it was impossible to cut them off. But one thing is for sure; no one anticipated feeling anything close to fear while seeing these movies.

From weird dance numbers to walking equipment, we've compiled a collection of movie scenes that completely freaked us out unexpectedly. We don't doubt you are already making a mental list of some movies that left you unexpectedly creeped out.

After going through this, you may find that we share the same feelings about those scenes. Scroll down to find out!

1. The hot chocolate dance number in The Polar Express

One wrong move and these kids would have gotten scalded.

2. This horrifying scene in The Plague Dogs

Everything about this scene is traumatic. No one would have expected such an ending.

3. The Thumbs scene in Spy Kids.

We're not sure any kid would enjoy having a gang of cheaply rendered thumbs running around them.

4. Every scene involving the walking vending machine in A Grand Day Out.

5. This scene from Matilda can make you stay away from cake for a while.

6. This alien scene in Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Skip to the 5th minute)

There's nothing fun about encountering a long-limbed creature. The background music made it even more creepy.

7. Brace yourself for this whipping scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

8. This creepy dance scene in Star Wars: Episode VI — Return of the Jedi.

9. Nothing short of a terrifying robot transformation scene in Superman 3.

10. The time someone got electrocuted so severely, he turned into a skeleton in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.

11. This scene where someone gets crushed by a dome in The Simpsons Movie.

12. This scene detailing how humans evolved into a weaker specie in Wall-E

13. This extreme fighting scene in Matrix: Reloaded

A lot of viewers were most definitely scared for their lives.

14. Every scene showing the scorpion king in The Mummy Returns

15. This scene in White Chicks where they put on their disguises

16. The movie "Finding Nemo" ends with a bunch of fish trapped in plastic bags. For a kids movie, that's cruel.

For years, a lot of kids must have pondered if they all died or survived. Thankfully, Finding Dory cleared this up later on.

17. We can't forget the high level of brutality that was displayed during the "les poissons" scene in The Little Mermaid.

18. The scene in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie where Patrick and SpongeBob dried to death

19. Seeing these eerie creatures in Labyrinth must have been unsettling

We're sure these scenes creeped you out just as much as they did us. 

While we understand that some of these scenes helped in making these movies exciting, maybe some of us would have preferred watching these movies without them. 

Quick question. Did some of these creepy movie scenes make it to your mental list?
