10 Creepy Movie Moments Everyone Missed

1. Gaston Faces The Grim Reaper - Beauty & The Beast

Disney's animated version of Beauty and the Beast ends with Gaston falling to his death, and as he tumbles past the camera, we get a close-up of his terror-stricken face.

For just a fraction of a second, it's possible to spot two skulls in Gaston's eyes, which seems to confirm beyond any doubt that he has indeed met up with the Grim Reaper.

This quasi-subliminal image was actually cut from the initial home video run of the movie by a concerned Disney after word spread about it during Beauty and the Beast's theatrical release.

Thankfully, however, it was restored for every subsequent release, because considering some of the savage imagery that's made it into Disney animations over the years, this is comparatively quite tame. It's still intensely ominous in its own way, though.
