along those same lines for me, Jodi Foster in The Accused, the scene in the bar on the pinball machine. |
| I've seen blood and gore, but here is a troubling story. I was in a crowded bus station in inner city Baltimore, terrirble neighborhood. There was a young (appx. 30) black man who was clearly mentally ill. He was circling around an elderly black woman and screaming uncontrollably at her, berating her, calling her names, for a long time. the man was clearly insane and so no one did anything, just let this woman be verbally attacked. She stood up straight, taking his abuse with as much pride as she could muster, but you could tell she was so upset. It was so disturbing. I wish I had been able to do something more. |
I hate that open casket tradition. |

I was driving home from work after college, and was waiting at a stoplight. There was a car stopped in the median about 50 ft away, and all of the sudden it blew up, the driver came out in flames and collapsed. I could not believe my eyes.
It turns out a few seconds before I got to my stoplight, the car had veered off the street, driven into a sign, and the metal post had punctured the gas tank causing the car to explode. |

When I was about 7 we went to visit my 80+ year old great-grandmother on Halloween. When we arrived all the lights were off and she didn't answer the doorbell. My grandfather had a key so we went in and called her name, no response. We started searching the house & found her hiding under the bed crying. She had forgotten it was Halloween and didn't have any candy for the trick-or-treaters on her street. She was so worried about "making the kids sad and the parents upset" that she turned off all the lights & hid so they wouldn't know she was home.
That is the reason I can't deal with the elderly, that sense of someone that has lost control & reality is slipping away. I would love to volunteer and wish I could help in programs like Meals on Wheels but it is almost a phobia that causes deep depression for me, and I am a very rational person but something about old people..... |

I will be honest with you, while this crime was horrible it was not specially horrible to me. I don't know how to explain without sounding a callus bitch, but I read it and probably will forget it. However, I came across a story of a guy who used to sodomize, kill and eat his victims and I still think about that. I think Silence of the Lambs (sp?) was based on this true story. What particularly haunts me about this story is that one of his victims, a 12 y old boy, managed to scape while drugged and was found wandering naked on the streets by two women. The killer came and said the victim was his son or brother or something like that.... the ladies didn't believe him and insisted on calling the police. Two patrolling officers came but were convinced by this guy and just let him take the naked, drugged boy with him. He later killed the boy and ate parts of him. - that was Jeffrey Dahmer (sp?) He was killed in prison by other inmates. |
wow that was one sick website. but...i do think kids should be better educated about the perils of driving to fast with cocaine in your system. yikes. |
Did the baby ever take a breath? |

The scene in American History X when he puts the guys face on the curb and stomps on it. I can envision that crunch.
Also, when I was a teen a bunch of friends were watching watching one of those death videos. People were eating monkey brains, I think it was. I feel nasty every time I think of that. Scarey how many movies out there have such disturbing scenes that young, impressionable minds can watch. Speaking of graphic scenes. I watched Black Swan the other night. Good Lord, that sex scene was a little disturbing too. Thank God I didn't watch that movie with my adult daughter. |
| Speaking of movies, The Cook, the Thief, his Wife & her Lover was the most god-awful disgusting thing I've ever seen. I had to go rent three or four Disney movies afterward to recover. |
Your Mom must not have seen Three Faces of Eve. |
This is the one I could never get out of my head. |
Seriously...That was REALLY horrifying for me. I lost faith in human race... |
I had to wiki this since it's been mentioned a couple of times...good God wtf is wrong with people? |
