The only thing that could make this scene more traumatizing would be one last shot of the air conditioner lying in pieces and billowing smoke. He freaking explodes, showering the other appliances with sparks, which is probably the air conditioner equivalent of arterial spray. The air conditioner continues to rant and scream until the other appliances walk away in disgust? The toaster talks down the air conditioner from his rage spasm and they all learn a valuable lesson about anger management?ī. Since this is a happy children’s film, what do you think happens next?Ī. “I’M NOT AN INVALID! I WAS DESIGNED TO STICK IN A WALL! I LOVE BEING STUCK IN THIS STUPID WALL!” And when they say he’s just jealous because he’s stuck in the wall, he bursts into a paranoid rage. Once she’s determined that ‘brave little toaster’ isn’t a euphemism for ‘vagina’ and sees the happy little anthropomorphic appliances cleaning house to Little Richard songs, she thinks, “Oh, what innocent, good-natured fun,” and leaves you alone with it.Ī bitter, cynical air conditioner channeling Jack Nicholson berates the appliances for awaiting the messianic return of their Master, who abandoned them in this old, run-down cabin. “Let’s make sure this isn’t some weird porno,” she says, popping it in the VCR. That’s what it wants your mom to think too. That’s exactly what it wants you to think. That looks like an innocent, unassuming children’s movie. A terrifying panoply of peril and psychological horror.īut Nathan, you say, that doesn’t look like a terrifying that thing you said of peril and psychological horror. So every year I gather friends and family to watch the scariest movie of all time.
It’s great to shriek, shiver, and huddle up against your significant other for comfort…even if she doesn’t think the movie is that scary and finds the constant sobbing a turn-off. Halloween is here, the perfect time for watching scary movies.
