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

• 

  (#1) The Silence of the Lambs

  • Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins, Chris Isaak, George A. Romero, Roger Corman, Scott Glenn, Ted Levine, Frankie Faison, Brooke Smith, Charles Napier, Obba Babatunde, Tracey Walter, Dan Butler, Kasi Lemmons, Diane Baker, Daniel von Bargen, Ron Vawter, Anthony Heald, Harry Northup, Adelle Lutz, George Michael, John W. Iwanonkiw, Don Brockett, Brent Hinkley, Kenneth Utt, Paul Lazar, David Early, Gene Borkan, Pat McNamara, Ted Monte, Stuart Rudin, Buzz Kilman, Bill Dalzell, Tommy Lafitte, Danny Darst, Chris McGinn, Chuck Aber, Cynthia Ettinger, Leib Lensky, Lamont Arnold, Andre B. Blake, Frank Seals Jr., George 'Red' Schwartz, Alex Coleman, Rebecca Saxon, Lauren Roselli, Darla, John Hall, Lynette Jenkins, Jim Dratfield, Mike Schaeffer, Miranda Dali, Maria Skorobogatov, Lawrence T. Wrentz, Jim Roche, James B. Howard, Bill Miller, Steve Wyatt, Jeffrie Lane, Josh Broder, Lawrence A. Bonney

  How we remember it happening: Clarice walks into the Baltimore State Hospital to speak to Hannibal Lecter; the doctor greets her with "Hello, Clarice."

  What actually happens in the film: Hannibal greets her with "Good morning," and Clarice proceeds to introduce herself. 

  So, why did the "Hello, Clarice" catch on a phrase that's ever associated with The Silence of the Lambs? It's possible that it's just an easier phrase to remember and it works well when paired with Anthony Hopkins' super creepy Hannibal.

  Once "Hello, Clarice" caught on in pop culture, it was used in parody, such as in The Cable Guy. Some say the erroneous phrase caught on because of Hannibal's phone call at the end of the film. Since lots of people answer the phone with "hello," it seems rational to think Hannibal would say it in that circumstance. Hannibal does say, "Well, hello, Clarice" in 2001's Hannibal, the sequel to The Silence of the Lambs.

  (#2) Scary Movie 2

  • Anna Faris, Tim Curry, James Woods, Tori Spelling, David Cross, Natasha Lyonne, Marlon Wayans, Kathleen Robertson, Regina Hall, Chris Elliott, Shawn Wayans, Beetlejuice, Andy Richter, Veronica Cartwright, Vitamin C, Richard Moll, Christopher Masterson, James DeBello, Suli McCullough

  How we remember it happening: Dwight is hanging on to a light fixture for dear life when Hanson says, "Take my strong hand."

  What actually happens in the film: Hanson tells Dwight his other hand isn't strong enough and that he should take his "little hand."

  People have used the line "Take my strong hand" for nearly two decades now in reference to the Scary Movie 2 scene in which we find the character Dwight is so put off by Hanson's misshapen hand that he'd rather perish than grab it. Hanson refers to the hand in question as his "little hand" and asserts that his regular hand isn't strong enough to pull Dwight up, but he never actually says, "Take my strong hand."

  (#3) Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles

  • Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Kirsten Dunst, Thandie Newton, Antonio Banderas, Christian Slater, Stephen Rea, Susan Lynch, Roger Lloyd-Pack, Helen McCrory, Sara Stockbridge, Domiziana Giordano, John McConnell, Andrew Tiernan, Marcel Iureș, George Yiasoumi, Robert 'Bobby Z' Zajonc, Indra Ové, Reese Foster, Danny Kamin, Greta Valenti, Gustavo I. Ortiz, Bellina Logan, Laure Marsac, Micha Bergese, Ben Gardiner, Rory Edwards, George Kelly, Louise Salter, Katia Caballero, Lyla Hay Owen, Matthew Sim, Jeanette Kontomitras, Simon Tyrrell, François Testory, Nathalie Bloch-Lainé, Lee E. Scharfstein, Mike Seelig, Monte Montague, Louis Lewis-Smith, Doron Jacobs, John Risso, Virginia McCollam, Nicole DuBois

  How we remember it happening: The film is titled Interview With a Vampire.

  What actually happens in the film: The correct title for the movie is Interview With the Vampire. 

  If you do a two-word Google search for "Interview With," chances are that one of the first Google search predictions that pop up will be Interview With a Vampire. The problem is, there's no such film. Or if there is a film called Interview With a Vampire, it isn't the 1994 film starring Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and Kirsten Dunst.

  When spoken aloud quickly, Interview With a Vampire and Interview With The Vampire sound almost identical, which may be the cause for confusion.  
• 

  (#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.  
• 

  (#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.  
• 

  (#6) Scary Movie

  • Carmen Electra, Anna Faris, Shannon Elizabeth, Marlon Wayans, Regina Hall, Cheri Oteri, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Lochlyn Munro, Kurt Fuller, Rick Ducommun, Jon Abrahams, Dave Sheridan, Mark McConchie, Robin Miller, Karen Kruper, Frank B. Moore

  How we remember it happening: Shorty says, "I see white people."

  What actually happens in the film: Shorty says, "I see dead people."

  One of the funniest lines in Scary Movie was delivered by Marlon Wayans while cowering under a blanket to echo Haley Joel Osment's character in The Sixth Sense as he says, "I see white people."

  Well, we thought he said that, but it turns out he actually said "I see dead people," despite many people vividly remembering the "white people" line. It's been theorized that the line was in a trailer for the film, but no such trailer seems to exist. It should be noted that the line was said in the film Undercover Brother, which was released two years after Scary Movie.

  (#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. 
• 

  (#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.  
• 

  (#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.  
• 

  (#10) Jaws

  • Steven Spielberg, Richard Dreyfuss, Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, John Searle, Murray Hamilton, Peter Benchley, Carl Gottlieb, Lorraine Gary, Jeffrey Kramer, Susan Backlinie, Beverly Powers, Ayn Ruymen, Denise Cheshire, Ted Grossman, Rex Trailer, Craig Kingsbury, Allison Caine, Dorothy Fielding, Chris Rebello, David Engelbach, Belle McDonald, Christopher Sands, Fritzi Jane Courtney, Cyprian R. Dube, Duncan Inches, Jonathan Filley, Jay Mello, Robert Nevin, Robert Carroll, Alfred Wilde, Lee Fierro, Jeffrey Voorhees, Wally Hooper Jr., Jean Canha, Peggy Scott, Robert Chambers, Edward Chalmers Jr., Julie Taylor, Paul F. Tremblay, Gilbert Brand, Wayne Iacono, Janice T. Hull, Beardsley Graham, John Bahr, Jerome S. Tartar, Joy Stuart, Stephanie Hull, Alston Goff, William Lymon, Paul G. Thibodeau, Dick Young, Edwin C. Carlson, Carla Hogendyk, Henry Carreiro, Henry E. Scott III, Brendan Gallagher, Hershel West, Joseph G. Kraetzer, Gregory S. Dole, Steven Potter, Paul Goulart, Phil Murray, Philip Norton, Donald Poole, Richard P. Hewitt, Robert Whelden Jr., William O'Gorman, Francis A. Frank, Mike Haydn, William Pfluger, Elizabeth K. Gifford, Stephen Earle, Willis B. Gifford, Eleanor L. Harvey, Chris Anastasio, Joe La Creta

  How we remember it happening: There is a bite taken out of the "J" in Jaws on the original movie poster.

  What actually happens in the film: The "J" was made to look like a fish hook and had no bite. 

  There's no solid explanation for why people are remembering a bite mark in the Jaws poster. It's possible that people just expect there to be a bite mark somewhere on the poster because it is advertising a giant shark movie. Maybe the bottom of the "J" in Jaws seems like the most likely place.  
• 

  (#11) A Nightmare on Elm Street

  • Johnny Depp, Robert Englund, Heather Langenkamp, John Saxon, Lin Shaye, Charles Fleischer, Amanda Wyss, Jack Shea, Ed Call, Jsu Garcia, Ronee Blakley, Joseph Whipp, Joe Unger, Mimi Craven, Sandy Lipton

  How we remember it happening: Nancy picks up the disconnected phone, hoping to hear from her boyfriend Glen. Instead, Freddy says, "I'm your boyfriend now, b*tch."

  What actually happens in the film: Freddy says, "I'm your boyfriend now, Nancy."

  Let's be honest, the profane version seems much more fitting for Freddy, especially when the line is followed up by a disembodied tongue emerging from the phone. It makes more sense, leading fans of A Nightmare On Elm Street fans to remember it that way. Still, Freddy didn't call Nancy anything other than her first name.

  (#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.
