10 Horror Movies You Must Never Pause

10. The Doll Of Nancy's Mother - A Nightmare On Elm Street

Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street is one of the most stylish and creative horror films of all time, and though the overwhelming majority of its reality-bending effects remain totally convincing today, there's one that's been downright laughable ever since the film's 1984 release.

The movie's ambiguous ending sees Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) driving off to school with her miraculously resurrected school friends, as the car's very Krueger-esque hood comes down.

In a final scare, Nancy's mother Marge (Ronee Blakley) is suddenly attacked by Freddy (Robert Englund), who impossibly drags her body through a small window in the front door of her house.

Even in motion, it's hilariously obvious we're looking at a doll, but paused we can see just how embarrassingly cheap and low-effort the prop really is.

Terrible though the 2010 remake mostly was, its CGI-driven reimagining of this ending is admittedly lot less goofy.
