Taxidermy Terror: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Lost Boys]]'', Sam wakes up to discover that his grandfather has left a stuffed woodchuck in his room to "brighten up the place". It freaks him out to the point that he tossed a shirt over it. The shirt is still covering the woodchuck at the end of the movie, indicating that Sam found it more disturbing than the ''vampires'' he just had to fight.

* In ''[[Road House]]'', Tinker, the only survivor among the [[Big Bad]]'s [[Mooks]], is so freaked out by the various stuffed animals surrounding him that he can't testify to the Sheriff about what happened in the climax.

* Alfred Hitchcock filled Norman Bates' house with taxidermed birds to add to the creepiness in the film version of ''[[Psycho]]''. It also alludes to the final fate of Mrs. Bates.

* In the ''[[Friday the 13th (film)|Friday the 13 th]]'' remake, Lawrence tries to masturbate in the living room, but finds himself too creeped out by a big stuffed moose head staring right at him to go through with it.

* ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]''

** Module EX2 ''The Land Beyond the Magic Mirror''. When the [[PC|PCs]] first arrive in Murlynd's house they're in a room with stuffed animals. The description makes them sound scary.
