    Most squeamish moment in a Romero Flick?

    for me it was was in Land. when you see two zombies tearing someones arm in two by grabbing two fingers each on their hand and pulling . its only a shadow but still..

    Yeah, that's a gross one, but I didn't find it so bad since the guy is already dead.

    Personally, I think its the scene where
     
    Rickle's head is pulled off. His scream rises in pitch as the vocal cords stretch and snap, and his jaw keeps opening and closing in a silent scream for a few seconds after his head is removed.


    Or the shot in the extended version of Land of the Dead where
     
    a zombie peels a soldiers face upwards from the lip, exposing his skull as he continues to struggle and yell.

    Yeah, the hand being torn apart was pretty visual for me. Perhaps even more so since it's just a silhouette which leaves some to the imagination. Otherwise I agree with Rickle's demise.

    Rickles fingers being bitten off or his eyelid peeled back and his eyeball squished in Day.

    Another bit in Land I thought was gross was when the zomb shoved it's arm down a corpse's throat, trying to pull out some guts (or tonsils) to eat.

    That's it for me! When I saw that at the show, my bile started to rise.

    yeah the pitch of the scream was messed up too. the bites in dawn were pretty harsh when that guy is chewing on his wifes neck and arm in the project building.

    How about when that one zombie in Land runs their fingers down the side of Dead Reckoning, and their fingernails all bust off?

    That always wigs me out.

    wierdly non of it ever bugs me, though to be honest only two horror films ever have.

    In takeshi mike(-no surprise if ya know him)'s imprint a woman is tied up and bound from one wrist and ankle and pins are pushed under her nails and into her gums above her teeth, thats the ONLY time ive ever had to look away from the screen and thinking about it bugs me.

    The second is more personal, but i was first shown the shining when i was 8, and those fucking little girls going "Play with us Danny..." still sends a bloody chill down my spine.

    When Peter, in the elevator, places his hand on the dying Roger's shoulder: "L-look here, man."

    The arm/shoulder bite in the apartment block in Dawn always gets me, because it was the first Zombie bite I'd seen, and I was about 8-9 years old. I remember begging my Dad to let me hire it out when we got our first VCR (Betamax!), because I liked the still on the back cover of Roger just after he turned. I was not expecting the guy to bite a chunk out of his wife's arm and shoulder. My Dad was going "Well, I did warn you, son".
