Random Examples Of Mandela Effect In Horror Movies That Really Freaked Us Out (12 items)

• 

  (#5) Dracula

  • Bela Lugosi, Tod Browning, Carla Laemmle, Helen Chandler, Dwight Frye, Edward Van Sloan, David Manners, Michael Visaroff, Dorothy Tree, Joan Standing, Wyndham Standing, Daisy Belmore, Charles K. Gerrard, Herbert Bunston, Frances Dade, John George, Nicholas Bela, Geraldine Dvorak, Barbara Bozoky, Moon Carroll, Anita Harder, Anna Bakacs, Cornelia Thaw, Josephine Velez, Donald Murphy

  How we remember it happening: Dracula says, "I vant to suck your blood!" 

  What actually happens in the film: Anytime someone dresses up as Dracula for Halloween, we're likely to hear them quote "I vant to suck your blood" in a heavy Hungarian accent. But, why? Dracula never said any such thing in the 1931 film. 

  It's possible that without the quote, one might dress up as Dracula for Halloween and not be recognized as Bela Legosi's version of the character. It is an easy version of Legosi's Hungarian accent and quickly identifies the Dracula character.

  (#7) The Exorcist

  • Max von Sydow, Ellen Burstyn, Linda Blair, Lee J. Cobb, William Peter Blatty, Jason Miller, Mercedes McCambridge, Jack MacGowran, Barton Heyman, Peter Masterson, Titos Vandis, Donna Mitchell, William O'Malley, Eileen Dietz, Kitty Winn, Robert Symonds, Robert Gerringer, Mason Curry, Arthur Storch, Rudolf Schündler, John Mahon, Roy Cooper, Mary Boylan, Dick Callinan, Toni Darnay, Ron Faber, Wallace Rooney, Vasiliki Maliaros, Bernard Eismann, Joanne Dusseau, Gina Petrushka, Vincent Russell, Thomas Bermingham, Paul Bateson, Elinore Blair, John Nicola, Yvonne Jones, Don LaBonte, Beatrice Hunter

  How we remember it happening: Regan doesn't have a feeding tube.

  What actually happens in the film: Regan has a nasogastric tube during her possession and infamous vomit scene. 

  It stands to reason that one might throw up some type of creepy demon juice while under the influence of demonic possession, even if one hasn't eaten in a while. So, the lack of a feeding tube seems to make sense. 
• 

  (#4) Saw

  • Danny Glover, Monica Potter, Shawnee Smith, Dina Meyer, Michael Emerson, Cary Elwes, Tobin Bell, Ken Leung, Leigh Whannell, Makenzie Vega, Benito Martinez, Mike Butters, Paul Gutrecht

  How we remember it happening: Jigsaw turns to the camera and asks, "Do you want to play a game?"

  What actually happens in the film: Jigsaw says, "I want to play a game."

  Jigsaw asked us if we wanted to play a game, right? Didn't we all slowly turn and ask that same question of our more cowardly friends just as soon as Saw let out and we reached the dark of the theater's parking lot? Well, maybe we did ask the question, but Jigsaw never did.

  This misquote might be a result of the movie's fans wanting a line to be more of an invitation to engage than a direct statement. "Do you want to play a game?" makes for a much stickier catchphrase than the actual line.

  (#12) Seven

  • Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey, R. Lee Ermey, Charles S. Dutton, John C. McGinley, Richard Schiff, Richard Roundtree, Mark Boone Junior, Leland Orser, Michael Massee, Richard Portnow, Bob Stephenson, John Cassini, Reg E. Cathey, Peter Crombie, Emily Wagner, Endre Hules, Richmond Arquette, Lennie Loftin, Hawthorne James, Daniel Zacapa, Alan Migicovski, George Christy, Andrew Kevin Walker, Dominique Jennings, Harris Savides, Gene Borkan, Shannon Wilcox, Alfonso Freeman, Lexie Bigham, Charles A. Tamburro, James Deeth, Heidi Schanz, Michael Reid MacKay, Brian Evers, Tudor Sherrard, David Correia, Duffy Gaver, Pamala Tyson, Evan Mirand, Bob Collins, Paul Eckstein, Rachel Flanagan, Mario Di Donato, Julie Araskog, Grigori, Martin Serene, Jimmy Dale Hartsell, John Santin, Beverly Burke, William Davidson, Ron Blair, Cat Mueller, Bob Mack, Charline Su, Harrison White, Sarah Reinhardt

  How we remember it happening: Detective Somerset opens the box and we see the head of Detective Mills' wife, Tracy (Gwyneth Paltrow)

  What actually happens in the film: The inside of the box isn't shown. 

  Although the plot and dialogue of the scene insinuate that the head of Gwyneth Paltrow's character is, indeed, what's in the box, we never actually see the head in the box.

  It should be noted that a prosthetic head was created for the scene and was eventually used in a scene in 2011's Contagion. 
• 

  (#9) Gremlins

  • Steven Spielberg, Corey Feldman, Phoebe Cates, Howie Mandel, Frank Welker, Jonathan Banks, Judge Reinhold, Michael Winslow, Harry Carey, Jr., Dick Miller, Zach Galligan, Peter Cullen, Glynn Turman, Robby the Robot, Keye Luke, Hoyt Axton, Scott Brady, Polly Holliday, Frances Lee McCain, Belinda Balaski, Jackie Joseph, Don Steele, John Louie

  How we remember it happening: The rabble-rousing ringleader of the Gremlins is named Spike.

  What actually happens in the film: His name is Stripe.

  So, why does almost everyone refer to him as Spike? When Cory Feldman's character accidentally broke a rule and got Gizmo wet, the first new Mogwai to pop out of Gizmo had a white strip of fur on his head and was thus named "Stripe." Perhaps with its hard consonant and its pointy imagery, Spike sounds like a more menacing nickname than Stripe, which might account for so many people misremembering it.

  (#8) The 'Jaws' Quote Is 'You're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat'

  How we remember it happening: Brody, after having encountered the massive Great White shark for the first time, quips, "We're going to need a bigger boat."

  What actually happens in the film: Brody actually says, "You're going to need a bigger boat."

  Audience members specifically remember Roy Scheider's Brody delivering the inclusive line, "We're going to need a bigger boat," but Jaws fans are wrong about the pronoun used in the famous line.
