10 Horror Movies You Must Never Pause
10. That's Not Anne Ramsey - Deadly Friend
Even if you've never seen Wes Craven's 1986 cult fave Deadly Friend, there's a good chance you've seen the movie's most iconic scene, where the cybernetically enhanced Samantha (Kristy Swanson) throws a basketball at the head of surly neighbour Elvira (Anne Ramsey).
The impact of the basketball hilariously explodes Elvira's head into a gloriously bloody mess, and the sheer insanity of the practical gore effects ensures it's a clip you'll want to watch again and again and again.
But make sure not to linger on Elvira in the moments before the basketball makes contact with her face, because we're clearly not looking at actress Anne Ramsey.
After Samantha throws the basketball and we cut back to Elvira, Ramsey has been replaced with a rather crude mannequin that bares only the faintest passing resemblance to the actress.
The shot passes quickly enough in motion that it's not too easy to spot, but once you know there's a terrible blood-filled dummy head hiding in plain sight, you'll never be able to un-see it.
