Movie/Film Help... Pretty Please?

Postby Unidox » Sun Apr 24, 2011 10:01 pm

Alright, I'm starting this thread because usually I am pretty good with movie/film titles and scenes. However, sometimes I need help; as I am sure others do too. So, here we go...

What is the movie this scene is from?

Link just in case.

Thought this a homework thread. Am pleased to be wrong. Find OP intriguing, but cannot assist. *sharp intake* But must satisfy own curiosity.

It's Nightkill. He's been there so long he rents out rooms to other people at a flat rate, but demands cash up front.

Interested in human art and culture. Find it crass, garish and amusing.

Much as I hate to say I used 4chan, I did. The paranormal board was surprisingly helpful.

Evidently, it's from the movie Xtro.

Thanks, will look for it stateside.

Anyone else need help with a movie they can't name?

Ok, I've got a new one.

Anyone have any ideas where that is from? I would also like to add if this is as old as it looks; I am very impressed with the "special" effects and how they pulled it off.

Looks like it might be from a George Melies film, he was a magician and the inventor of cinema special effects. Clearly black art using black velvet clothes against a black background to give the severed head effect.

I thought the first time that was done was with The Invisible Man in 1933. What posted looks a tad older, possibly?..

Melies was making films in the 1890s, and to me the clip looks to be from that era, so possibly Melies or Lumiere brothers. Melies was quite fond of playing with the idea of severed heads which is why I thought of him
