Done here? These fine folks will take good care of you!
Hello,
I’ve had this haunting memory of a scene stuck in my head for over twenty five years. Not sure if it was a movie or TV show. I still can’t figure out what I saw, but perhaps you or my fellow readers can remember. I was a little kid when I saw it. Here I am at age 32 and still hunting.
Here’s the scene…
A guy and a girl sit down on what I believe was the edge of a bed. They’re obviously about to engage in some adult activities (didn’t comprehend that at the time). The guy is talking and gets distracted — I’m not quite sure. He turns away for a moment. As he turns back around, the girl’s head has morphed into something grotesque. I believe it was insectoid, but I’m not positive. She then proceeds to eat the guy’s head.
Thanks for whatever help you could possibly provide.
Thanks Jared! I think I’m probably taking your “insectoid” description too literally but what came to my mind was WASP WOMAN from I995. I was also thinking of SPECIES(1995) but I guess neither really fits your time frame. Sorry I could not be more help.
Here’s the trailer for WASP WOMAN…. it’s probably not what you’re looking for but it’s pretty amazing anyway…
Thanks unkle lancifer. ‘Wasp Woman’ was definitely not what I’m trying to remember, but thanks anyway! This movie looks like a great time — I’ll have to watch it. The unforgettable scene I saw would of been from a movie or tv show from the late eighties at the latest. I’m almost positive I was around four or five years old when I saw it (placing it somewhere around 1986-1988). Another tidbit about my memory — when the woman’s head changed, I remember it being really big. As in… much bigger than a person’s head should be. It was monstrous and, I believe, insect like. Maybe a big, exposed brain too? I’m not sure. Could my little kid eyes have been playing tricks on me? Who knows… but that part really sticks out.
Jared, our pal Alex G. suggested this episode of MONSTERS over on Facebook….
This image from the episode is thanks to Alex too ^^^^^^
Good ol’ Monsters — such a great show. I do recall this episode and unfortunately this isn’t what I’m trying to remember. We’re narrowing it down, at least!
I don’t have a link, but… is it possible this was an MTV bumper? I sort of recall something like this…
kermode — I suppose it’s a possibility, though I don’t recall having cable at that young of an age. There’s always a chance, though.
I honestly think this may be Juan Piquer Simon’s “Slugs”. There is a scene in which a couple of kids are about to get to it, but the slugs overtake them. This might fulfill the “insect” description? Check out the link at about 3:30 or so.
