| This scene reminds me of this one time when I was in a day care center in Japan and we were all watching Pokemon. |

| Outside of the obvious scenes in this one of the ones that I have always remembered is this one where the people come in and you hear all of the muffled voices even though none of them are talking. I saw this for the first time when I was young and for some reason this scene stood out to me as something disturbing. |

| The exploding head scene was accomplished by filling a latex head with dog food and rabbit livers, and shooting it from behind with a 12-gauge shotgun. |
