The Mummy Trilogy/Nightmare Fuel

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The Mummy. Yes, I know. But the scene where the mummy re-makes itself out of bits of living people...
    • Specially the one which appears tongue- and eye-less.
  • The gold scarab suddenly turning alive and killing a man by tunnelling through his flesh.
  • The scarab crawling out of Imhoteps neck, back through the hole in his cheek, and he bites down with a crunch.
  • Benny's eventual fate didn't creep anyone else out? I know he was a bad guy and all, but still. Trapped in a dungeon that's just been permanently sealed under the desert, only a single torch to keep you safe from the flesh-eating Scarabs which are gathering around you, and you have to sit there and watch while they surround you and you watch the torch slowly... flicker... out.
  • The flesh-eating scarabs. Let's put it at that and call it a day.
    • Oh, you want me to elaborate? Fine. They always come in swarms and once they get you, they overpower and cover you... And there's nothing left when they're done.
  • In the third film, the Taken for Granite aspect of the Terracotta Warriors. It's not so much the fact that they are this since you see that in many a movie (though it's still quite unsettling), but the process. Just... watching them as they start to liquify from the mouth, the wet clay leaking out as it spreads and takes over their forms, hollowing their bodies out, covering them... Brrr! This troper can honestly say it's the most horrific thing he's seen in a movie in years.
