Live-Action TV/Nightmare Fuel: Difference between revisions

* On an episode of ''[[MythBusters]]'', the build team is testing the myth that in olden days, if you lost pressurization in one of your diving suits (The ones with the big, brass helmets and watertight latex-covered cloth) in deep water, the resulting water pressure would crush your body into the helmet. To test this, Tori wrapped a skeleton in meat, filled it's chest cavity with organs and fake blood, then the team put the thing in a suit. The myth was confirmed, when once the pressure was cut, the blood, flesh, and organs began to bubble up into the helmet with a freakish popping sound. By the time they dragged the suit up, it was flattened out, the helmet had buckled, and various gore had leaked its way out.

*** What's really scary about that sketch is that {{spoiler|you don't see the pill-induced knife-fight coming. You think it's just going to be some silly sketch, but it turns dark real quick}}.

** The Digital Short on the last episode of season 35 (Alec Baldwin with musical guest Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) is not as scary as "The Tizzle Wizzle Show," but it does have some [[Nightmare Fuel]] that makes you wonder if ''SNL'' is trying to make people laugh or scare them to death (it's a little from column A and a little from column B in this case), like the [[Soundtrack Dissonance]] of light, cheery music playing over a pan shot of [[Trash of the Titans|a trashed kitchen and living room]], the convincing make-up job done to Andy Samberg to make him look like a coked-up freak (to go along with Samberg's acting), the sudden break in song when Samberg yells at the dancers not to touch him, how fast the song progresses (reminds me of being in a car with failing brakes), and {{spoiler|how the whole thing turns out to be a vivid, drug-induced hallucination}}.
