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 before we

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 [Applause] [Music] hello Clarice it's good to see you again did you enjoy this
