Top 20 Horror Movie Examples of the Mandela Effect

good evening Clarice welcome to watch

Mojo and today we're counting down our

picks for the top 20 horror movie

examples of the Mandela effect

for this list we're looking at details

from scary films that are commonly

misremembered did any of these Mandela

effects fool you let us know in the

comments

number 20. he's alive Frankenstein there

have been many tellings and retellings

of Mary Shelley's classic novel

Frankenstein but the 1931 film

adaptation is still considered to be one

of the best adaptations of the tale in a

very memorable scene Dr Frankenstein

raises his Monster's lifeless body into

a lightning storm once it reanimates he

yells an iconic line but it may not be

the line you remember many people

thought that Frankenstein yells he's

alive but the doctor actually uses the

pronoun it

it's alive

in the name of God now I know what it

feels like to be God while it may seem

minor the distinction shows that

Frankenstein truly sees his creation as

a monster instead of a human being this

clever little detail definitely deserves

to be remembered accurately it

understands this time it's wonderful

18.

the lost boys during the scene where the

vampiric David and his friends share

their Chinese food with Michael fans

remember that the noodles turn into

writhing worms The Cheeky bloodsucker

follows up that shocking moment with the

line how do you like your worms Michael

but would you be surprised to know that

David never says that line instead

Michael's container of rice briefly

turns into maggots and David asks Meg

it's Michael

you're eating maggots how do they taste

but we don't blame fans of this classic

for mixing up the details at a later

point in the scene Michael does briefly

see a box of noodles as worms Bon

Appetit they're only noodles Michael

that's enough number 18 a not so bloody

Affair The Texas Chainsaw Massacre if

you've seen the original installment of

this classic horror franchise you might

remember it as a bloodbath filled with

gruesome death scenes

[Music]

and you would definitely be right about

the murderous aspects but there's less

blood than fans might expect while

characters certainly meet violent ends

very little blood is shown throughout

the film in fact director Toby Hooper

hoped implying instead of showing

violence would lead to the film getting

a PG rating unfortunately the plan

majorly backfired and the film got an

initial X rating before editing allowed

it to get an R it's ironic that reducing

the amount of blood caused so much

trouble for this violent film

are you sure number 17 good night kiss

Child's Play who was brave enough to

kiss Chucky there's a lot of confusion

about one scene in this film many

viewers remember a scene where Andy's

mom Karen kisses her son good night the

boy then asks his mother to kiss Chucky

too others remember that the ant was the

one to show a sign of affection to the

doll but neither scene made the cut hi I

like to be hugged indeed

I'd love to hug you too while there are

moments when both Maggie and Karen took

Andy into bed they never added a Chucky

Goodnight Kiss fans who really want to

see this unsettling moment play out can

still get their wish Jill's gonna be in

in a while

don't forget Chucky

in Curse of Chucky the doll finally gets

his good night kiss number 16. feeding

tube The Exorcist this horror classic

has many memorable and frankly

disgusting scenes but one aspect of

those moments has resulted in a Mandela

effect for many viewers when thinking

back to the moments leading up to Reagan

losing her lunch in front of Father

Charis do you remember a feeding tube

well then let's introduce ourselves I'm

Damian Karis and I ain't that devil now

kindly undo these stretch if you don't

Welcome to The Exorcist Mandela effect

it's hard to explain why so many horror

fans can't recall the tube in question

but to be fair a lot is happening in

this very famous scene a feeding tube

isn't necessarily the detail that sticks

in your mind as you watch a 12 year old

girl prepare to utterly gross a priest

out

mother sit here with his curse would you

like to leave a message

I see that she gets it number 15 leading

man the fly it's impossible to think of

this movie and not recall its memorable

ending scene a housefly with scientist

Andre dalam's head and arm is trapped in

a spider's web screaming for help

[Music]

don't worry that's not a false memory

but some people do misremember the actor

who plays Andre over the years many have

claimed that horror icon Vincent Price

was the film's leading man however he

played the scientist's brother-in-law

the fly did help Price's horror career

Skyrocket and he did feature as the same

character in the film sequel Return of

the fly but it was actor David Hedison

who played the ill-fated scientist in

the original film doesn't sound possible

does it

but it is true it is impossible you're

playing some joke on me number 14 no

Chainsaw the Friday the 13th franchise

this one has become a slasher film Trope

especially in parodies of the genre

[Music]

the scary killer wears a hockey mask and

wields a chainsaw but would you be

surprised to learn that in 12 films with

Jason Voorhees not once does he use a

chainsaw most frequently he's seen with

a machete but Jason has also used an ax

a buzz saw and even a sleeping bag to

claim his victims ironically enough at

least two characters have tried to use a

chainsaw against the hulking villain

some suspect that the hockey mask and

weapons combo is a conflation of Jason

and icon Leatherface given how strong

and durable Voorhees is writers probably

thought giving him a chainsaw would just

be Overkill

[Music]

number 13 Ivan to suck your blood

Dracula ask anyone to do an impression

of Dracula and they will inevitably say

Bella lugosi's famous line in an

exaggerated Transylvania accent it'll

sound something like I want to suck your

blood the trouble is that lugosi's

character in The Definitive 1931 classic

never utters this line and when looking

at other serious depictions of Dracula

in film that quote doesn't come up while

it's unclear when people started saying

it the biggest suspect is the film Ed

Wood during the film a character

pretending to be lugosi's Dracula speaks

the famous line now I can see it

[Music]

his lack of a v sound still leaves the

mystery open but no matter where this

piece of dialogue came from it's a safe

bet that intimidating vampires won't

repeat it

your will

is strong

and Helsing number 12 take my strong

hand scary movie 2. viewers have been

misquoting this one for two decades in

this horror movie parody Hanson the

caretaker has one hand with visible

anomalies that is played up for Laughs

the biggest joke comes when a character

named Dwight is left hanging off the

side of a building on a candle structure

when Hanson shows up he offers the hand

with the deformity which the distressed

man refuses to take many remember the

caretaker insisting that Dwight should

take his strong hand but Hansen doesn't

say that at all

other hand

however viewer viewer weren't completely

wrong about the quote there is a scene

earlier in the movie where Hansen refers

to his smaller hand as his strong hand

you use my strong hand number 11. you're

gonna need a bigger boat Jaws even

though it's universally considered one

of the most iconic lines in movie

history this one is often misquoted

after being stunned by seeing the shark

for the first time viewers remember Roy

scheider's character saying we're gonna

need a bigger boat turns out that's not

exactly the line Brody actually says

you're gonna need a bigger boat we're

not sure why so many insist they recall

hearing Weir to make matters worse

people also remember the film's

memorable movie poster with a bite taken

out of the J in Jaws however that's also

a false recollection as the letter

always appears whole what do we get

right about this classic film

number 10 speaking his name five times

candyman candyman candyman candyman

candyman

Candyman

Legend has it that if you look into a

mirror and say Candyman five times the

Candyman himself will appear or was the

legend say Candyman three times Candyman

Candyman

Candyman

the release of the 2021 film Candyman a

spiritual successor to the 90s film of

the same name had some people

questioning whether or not the famous

horror antagonist's calling card had

been changed while some remembered that

the correct number of times to say his

name was five others insisted that it

had once taken fewer words to conjure up

the hook-handed ghost if you look in the

mirror

you say his name five times

he'll appear behind you breathing down

your neck

you want to try it it's possible these

people were confusing the legend of

Candyman with similar repetition-based

Spirits like Beetlejuice or Bloody Mary

Bloody Mary

Bloody Mary

Bloody Mary Bloody Mary

number nine what's the title again

Interview with the Vampire

I want to see if we get started

so what do you do I'm a vampire if

you've ever Googled Anne Rice's 1976

vampire novel or its film adaptation you

may have noticed that several of these

suggested searches word the title as

Interview with a Vampire given the

prominence of this phrasing you may be

surprised to learn that this is not

actually the title the film and book are

actually titled Interview with the

Vampire and always have been the world

changes

we do not

therein lies the irony that finally

kills us this is a pretty minor mix up

all things considered but one that many

fans of the book and movie take as proof

of the Mandela effect this misconception

even permeated the press for the 1994

film adaptation with the Oscars Tom

Cruise and even Anne Rice herself

referring to the film with the incorrect

title I just I just decided it would be

fun to do it so I wrote a short story

called Interview with a Vampire number

eight Freddy's phone call A Nightmare on

Elm Street what you dream

I dreamed about a guy in a dirty red and

green sweater

if you thought Freddie's sweater looked

a tiny bit different over the years

you're not wrong the original outfit in

the 1984 film lacked the stripes on the

sleeves that appeared in later movies

however the biggest discrepancy comes

with the phone call when Freddy is

messing with Nancy many remember him

calling her a certain b word before she

drops the phone but the Nightmare Demon

only uses gentlemanly language here

horror fans might have subconsciously

added the word after watching the Rick

and Morty parody Freddy character named

Scary Terry not only does the animated

character rely on one curse a lot but

other characters comment on his dialogue

oh

sure says a lot you can run but

you can't hide number seven so

scared The Blair Witch Project The Blair

Witch Project took found footage horror

to the next level listing its actors as

missing or deceased during its marketing

campaign the gimmick was a success with

many moviegoers leaving theaters

unsettled by the film's dubious reality

in one of the film's most memorable

moments one of its characters Heather

looks at the camera and delivers an

emotional monologue saying

I'm so sorry however many instead

remember this line as I am so scared the

misconception is perhaps because she

goes on to say that she's scared to open

or close her eyes

I'm scared to close my eyes

to open them it's only compounded by

these scary movie parody of the scene

number six I see white people Scary

Movie one of the films parodied in the

first scary movie is M Night shyamalan's

The Sixth Sense

a parody scene references the big twist

from the 1999 film with Marlon Wayans

character telling his friend I see

people

are she dead people

this is awesome

it's a weak joke simply repeating the

line from The Sixth Sense some fans

however remember the scene differently

believing Wayne said I see white people

a line that better fits the comedic

franchise yo son

it's like I've seen this all before they

had a killer your old high school shorty

nah it was in this movie Scream same

dialogue and everything

there is no evidence that this alternate

line ever existed in the film however it

did Exist Elsewhere though Billy Crystal

said it at the Oscars before scary

movies release and it appears in 2002's

Undercover Brother I see white people

have we jumped realities or are some

fans just mixing up memories number five

seeing the baby Rosemary's Baby

and you know you're not supposed to be

up and around a number of horror films

thrive on tension slowly building up to

a big reveal or jump scare Rosemary's

Baby certainly creates a tense

environment for both its viewer and

protagonist but declines to deliver on

that big reveal where is it

there were complications Rosemary but

nothing that will affect future Birds

dead although the film centers around

the horrific pregnancy of Rosemary

Woodhouse and ends with her child's

birth the full baby is never actually

shown on screen there is a flash of

demonic eyes during the film however

that haunting image is largely believed

to be the representation of the devil

either way reports of seeing the baby's

face or Hooves were greatly exaggerated

the viewer has to fill in most of the

terrifying Blanks on their own

it can't be

no oh look at his hands and his feet

number four do you want to play a game

saw saw is known for its intense

torture-based horror and at the center

of it all is a white-faced puppet named

Billy hello Amanda

I want to play a game acting is a way

for the antagonist John Kramer to

communicate with his victims Billy gives

characters the option to subject

themselves to excruciating pain or face

certain death these options are referred

to as games but contrary to popular

belief Billy doesn't ask whether his

guests want to play in the original saw

film Billy never says do you want to

play a game but instead I want to play a

game

here's what happens if you lose it's a

simple change but one that definitely

changes the tone hello Mark Paul Amanda

I want to play a game number three Spike

vs stripe Gremlins in 1984 Gremlins

introduced the world to the Mogwai a

fictional species that appeared cute and

harmless but came with an important set

of rules owners could not expose the

creature to light allow it to get wet or

most importantly feed it after midnight

predictably these three rules are broken

over the course of the film unleashing

reptilian Gremlins on the town

the leader of the Gremlins and the

film's main antagonist is a gremlin with

a mohawk named stripe although some fans

would argue you on that name hey look at

that one's got a cute little stripe on

its head

[Music]

ing

some claim that the antagonist's name

was once spike a misconception that can

be found not only among Mandela effect

Believers but many merchandise listings

featuring the character

number two hi honey I'm home The Shining

honey I'm home is a popular phrase

utilized throughout pop culture in

family films sitcoms and even songs

[Music]

the line is turned on its head in The

Shining when Jack Torrance says it prior

to breaking through the bathroom door

with an ax or at least it would be if

Jack actually said it Wendy I'm home a

number of people online seem to remember

the line being a direct Riff on the

typically cheery phrase but in reality

Jack actually says Wendy I'm home using

his wife's name rather than the generic

honey here's Johnny

number one hello Clarice The Silence of

the Lambs

good morning whether you've seen the

Silence of the Lambs one serve seen it

20 times you are probably familiar with

the line hello Clarice Hannibal lecter's

creepy greeting is one of the film's

most famous lines inspiring memes and

adorning t-shirts but what if we told

you this line doesn't actually exist in

the film that's right Hannibal Lecter

never once says hello Clarice in the

Silence of the Lambs the closest he gets

is good evening Clarice

it's unclear how so many people got

mixed up about this line maybe it really

is proof that we're now living in an

alternate reality silence

of the land
