By now, you're probably thinking that Wes Craven has a thing for tongues, and there's no denying that the Springwood Slasher most definitely has an oral fixation as he's often seen flickering his tongue, "sucking face" with victims (such as Sheila in A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master), and uses his tongue as a weapon to attack Heather Langenkamp in Wes Craven's New Nightmare. All those instances pale in comparison to this iconic scene in horror cinema. After murdering Nancy's boyfriend Glenn (Johnny Depp), Freddy calls Nancy only for Nancy to hear Freddy utter the classic line, "I'm your boyfriend now, Nancy." This phrase is followed up with Freddy's tongue coming through the phone in an attempt to get to first base with the film's protagonist. It's hard to really feel bad for Nancy in this instance though, as she should've known nothing good was going to come from answering a ringing telephone that she had just unplugged. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=wfSm5z5A1pI#t=12 So with demons possessing box-cutters, guilt-ridden Asians seeking atonement for their sins, and ghouls masquerading as women just to engage in tongue action with other men all accounted for, which moment comes in at number-one as the most disturbing tongue scene on film?
