Top 10 Unscripted Horror Moments That Were Left in the Movie

i ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti welcome to watch mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 unscripted moments in horror movies you're gonna need a bigger boat i have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass strangling his first wife with a draft excluder and invented the mobile disco for this list we'll be ranking the classic iconic or memorable moments from horror cinema that were performed off the cuff or otherwise not included in the original script we're also putting a spoiler alert into effect since we'll be getting into some major plot points during the course of our list what are some of your favorite horror ad-libs let us know in the comments number 10 the pomeranian it chapter 2. comedic moments in horror movies sometimes work really well while other times they fall completely flat thankfully the first entry on our list is courtesy of saturday night live alum bill hader who delivers a hilarious unscripted reaction to a not very scary little dog [ __ ] he did it the sequence occurs when hater and co-star james ranson are looking at three devilishly trapped doors from pennywise the clown first the scary jump happens and the actor responds according to the script then a cute little pomeranian appears a callback to a joke haters richie tozier made earlier in the film and the jokes start to fly the actor's reactions to the dog were improvised so as to make the humor feel authentic and we think it totally works that's a good boy it's actually super cool that's a good boy good boy next time we just go with regular scary number nine improv-a-thon shawn of the dead a little improv worked wonders in it but a lot of it was positively hilarious in this scene at the winchester pub from edgar wright's shaun of the dead have a nice cold pint and wait for all this to blow over the titular sean has just been dumped by his girlfriend so his best mate ed is doing his best to cheer him up the improv-a-thon occurs when ed played by nick frost rattles off backstories for all of the assorted characters in the bar strangling his first wife with a draft excluder and invented the mobile disco the reactions from simon pegg as shawn are genuine as right allowed frost to work off the cuff for the stretch of dialogue this loosening of the script helped this early scene in the film not only delivered the laughs but also assisted in fleshing out the cast number eight stew scream matthew lillard isn't exactly known for his resume of horror movie roles but one big one has to be his portrayal of stewmacher in the first scream film surprise sydney mocker has a number of notable lines during scream's critical third act when it's revealed that both stu and his buddy billy loomis have been performing double duty as the film's iconic killer ghost phase yeah it would put out of a misery because let's face it sydney your mother was no sharon stone one that's both humorous and unscripted occurs when billy and stu are fumbling with a telephone with bloody messy hands skeet ulrich's billy attempts to toss the phone to stew but ulric accidentally drops it on lillard the actor rather than breaking character decides to instead go with it and utter the now famous unscripted line number seven licking lips the silence of the lambs sure we can debate until the cows come home as to whether or not the silence of the lambs was a horror film or a thrilling crime procedural but one thing's for sure sir anthony hopkins performance as dr hannibal lecter is absolutely terrifying apparently lewis had murdered a transient and done things with the skin the brilliant cannibal killer installed himself almost immediately into the annals of horror with his speech about eating liver with fava beans and a nice chianti but did you know that the not-so-good doctor's quick intake of breath and licking of his lips wasn't in the script i ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti the act is sudden unnerving and performed off the cuff but it adds so much menace to the lecter character to the point where we can't imagine the scene without it you fly back to school now little starting line number six jesus wept how razor the box you opened it we came andrew robinson's career as a character actor has been full of iconic and memorable roles but he was pulling double duty on hellraiser playing both nice guy dad larry cotton and a later version of his sleazeball brother frank god knows i don't really understand myself robinson's ability to move back and forth between personality extremes serves the movie well particularly when frank now wearing his dead brother's skin is caught by the cenobites after a trap is laid by his niece kirsty frank's final line in the script was a generic expletive but robinson instead decided to go biblical uttering this verse jesus wet number five laurie's song halloween sometimes it's all about the little things laurie what's the boogie man jamie lee curtis's laurie strode sings an improvised song to herself early on in john carpenter's 1978 horror classic the song was composed on set as an unscripted piece by curtis carpenter and producer deborah hill an otherwise innocuous little ditty that's an interesting character piece i wish i had you all alone what makes the song even cooler however was its callback in david gordon green's 2018 sequel green had a band compose and perform a version of that song to be used as a source cue during the scene when the father and son are returning from a hunting trip now that's what we call doing your homework is dance class side important to you yeah yeah there's some more time in the woods go hunting fishing on weekends i'll do it with you dad like i really love spending time with you but right now dancing is my thing you know and it really hits me number four piper's pit they live rowdy roddy piper was a pro wrestling legend long before he appeared on the silver screen as a horror and action hero i'm giving you a choice either put on these glasses or start eating that trash can that said piper's natural charisma and ability to ad-lib during wrestling promos translated well to the world of cinema particularly with this iconic line from john carpenter's 1988 cult hit you know you look like your head fell on the cheese dip back in 1957. piper enters a bank wearing a fresh pair of alien sunglasses that enable him to see the hidden subliminal messages placed in the world around him then cool as a cucumber he busts out with this unscripted gem i have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass and i'm all out of bubble honestly in the hands of anyone else this line might have come across as hokey but piper's confidence ensures it hits another level of effortless cool number three congratulations it's a chest burster alien pop quiz which is better alien or aliens trick question they both rule and feature some super memorable unscripted moments as well that's it man game over man it's game over bill paxton's game over line as private hudson was the result of a little bit of character building from the actor while the first film's iconic chessburster scene was something else entirely the actors in question knew something was going to happen when the alien made its appearance but they weren't told exactly how it was going to make its grand entrance the first thing that i'm gonna do when i get back is to get some decent food director ridley scott was determined to generate genuine reactions from his actors and he got exactly that particularly from veronica cartwright who reportedly passed out after her horrified reaction was caught on camera for posterity number two bigger boat jaws making a movie is never easy and making jaws really wasn't easy for then fledgling director steven spielberg who had yet to become the household name he is today [Music] as a result spielberg often butted heads with producers david brown and richard zanec who reportedly weren't particularly generous with funding for this troubled production soon a running gag was being joked about by cast and crew ribbing zanik and brown that they were gonna need a bigger boat roy scheider liked the line so much that he tried to fit it in wherever he could eventually finding that perfect sweet spot that we love to quote each and every time we watch the film you're

perfectionist tendencies an obsession that would often lead the director to require what felt like endless amounts of takes from his actors the shining was one of those films an experience that reportedly pushed some of its cast including shelley duvall to the breaking point [Applause] speaking of breaking the scene when jack nicholson's jack torrance smashes through a door to a cowering duval featured one of horror's most quoted lines of all time of course nicholson was only quoting ed mcmahon's famous line from the tonight show starring johnny carson but the decision was also unscripted and improvised a happy accident within what's otherwise a dark and disturbing horror classic here's johnny do you agree with our picks check out this other recent clip from watchmojo and be
