10 Best Horror Movie Deleted Scenes

4. The "Monkey-Cat" Sequence - The Fly (1986)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QizX5msl-G0 There aren€™t many frames from David Cronenberg€™s remake of The Fly that won€™t twist your stomach into knots like a pretzel, but one of the film€™s most grotesque moments comes in the form of a scene that didn't even make the final cut. In the scene, Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum), mid-way though his metamorphosis into a giant fly/human hybrid, becomes desperate. He uses his telepods to fuse a baboon and a cat together, and then beats the fused creature to death with a metal pipe. The sequence goes on to show the disturbed Brundle scaling the wall of his lab up to the roof, only to feel a sharp pain in his left side. He accidentally slips off the roof, slides down the wall, lands on a metal awning, and watches as a small, fly-like leg emerges from his torso. Horrified by this new appendage, Brundle amputates it with his teeth. The scene was ultimately cut following a Toronto screening. According to producer Stuart Cornfeld the audience felt that there was no turning back for Seth and they lost all sympathy for his plight, which caused the rest of the film to not play as well. In Cornfeld's own words: "If you beat an animal to death, even a monkey-cat, your audience is not gonna be interested in your problems anymore."
