25 Most Mind-Bending Moments In Sci-Fi Movie History

6. Klatuu Neutralizes All Electricity In The World - The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951)

Day The Earth Stood Still This 50€™s sci-fi classic contains one of the most ominous mind-bending moments ever. It€™s when Klatuu, after having revealed his secret that he is an alien to Helen in an elevator, neutralizes all of the world€™s electricity as a precursor to what will happen if the people of Earth don€™t change their ways. He leaves everyone in a state of panic, as we see other countries and cities lose power, and the government as they try to handle the situation. Bernard Herrmann€™s chilling score emphasizes not only the panic, but the side of Klatuu that we haven€™t seen yet. That€™s the real mind-tweaker. Klatuu is a force to be reckoned with, and we€™d better shape up or we€™ll see the full extent of what he€™s capable of. Luckily we don€™t, but there€™s still that €œwhat if€ feeling looming throughout the rest of the film.

What KC Mobley lacks in height, he makes up for in sheer passion. Especially when it comes to films and 80's heavy metal. Don't be afraid, he doesn't bite...much.
