Jul 1 12 12:57 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I did a great thread a few years back on this subject, and there were alot of great posts. Unfortunately I can't find it, and I think it's gone. One post in particular was about a John Wayne western that suddenly got very spooky at one point, something to do with severed heads in a bag? Am I remembering that little tidbit correctly? If so, what John Wayne film is that? Because I've never seen it. And also, I don't know what it is, but there's something very eerie about the movie ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ, particularly the very ending and the credits. Whether it's the music, or the overall mood I'm not sure, but it gives me a creepy feeling everytime I see it. Maybe I'm nuts. (NO COMMENTS!!!) Can you think of any other NON-HORROR films where there may be a moment that gave you the creeps, or seemed oddly horror-like? It may not even have been intentional, but it's how it hit you. I hope for those who may remember that older thread, that you won't mind reposting some of your thoughts on this. There are many many new members since then. Thanx!

It's sundown, so everything is colored in red and orange lights. The Indians are off in the hills doing faint animal calls to each other. The father picks up on it and grows uneasy but doesn't want to scare the family. Then the wife notices how he's acting and figures out what's going on. The finally the kids get it and become terrified. THE SEARCHERS has plenty of implied atrocities to induce shudders. Also, RANDY RIDES ALONE (1934) veers straight into Weird Western territory in the opening moments, as we see Duke ride up to a roadhouse saloon, walk through the doors and find the place deathly still and full of corpses. Bartender, customers, etc. all dead. With all the quiet and hiss of an early talkie. And SOMEONE is watching through the cut-out eyes of a portrait....

Jul 2 12 1:29 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Head[s] in a bag made me think of Northwest Passage. That was a creepy moment for the young Professor. Russ And PS I can see it's discussed a lot in the other thread. Last Edited By: professor liebstrum Jul 2 12 1:38 PM. Edited 1 times.

Will look into it. That one dates back to only 2010, where mine was a from a few years before that. Probably dropped off into the abyss 5 or 6 years ago. So, Professor, is Northwest Passage the John Wayne flick I might have been referring to?

Jul 2 12 4:48 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Getting briefly back to this John Wayne/severed heads movie mystery, whoever posted about this film said (I'm PRETTY sure) that it was Gregg Palmer who had the bag with heads inside. They said that it was a totally unexpected scene in the movie. This is to the best of my recollections from a thread that's at least 6 years old and long gone from here.

Unless maybe I skipped the end titles then. "There is a lot of money tied up in this film and people expect to hear a boom when something blows up, so I'll give them a boom."

Jul 3 12 12:01 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	John Wayne gets pretty spooky in RED RIVER when he vows to stalk and kill Monty Clift for taking over his cattle drive. He becomes like a boogeyman to Monty and the other cowboys, who can barely sleep at night worrying that he'll show up. TAXI DRIVER scared the dickens out of me when I saw it at the theater back in the 70s. Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way.
