The 10 Most Terrifying Dinner Scenes In Horror Movies
By CHAD COLLINS
Hereditary
Ari Aster's "Hereditary" is undoubtedly one of the scariest movies of the century, and a big part of its success is due to Toni Collete’s transcendent and chilling performance. The second act dinner scene is arguably Collete’s best moment in the movie, where she explodes with grief.
It 2
Andy Muschietti’s sequel to Stephen King’s “It” makes full use of its huge budget and A-list stars during the terrifying dinner scene at Jade of the Orient. Fortunes spell doom, cookies come to life as monstrous, baby-faced insects, and black goo oozes from the center of the table.
Calvaire
Fabrice du Welz's "Calvaire" is finally getting some of the credit it deserves, even though the movie is not for the faint of heart. The two main characters, Marc Stevens and Mr. Bartel, sit down for a Christmas dinner that is guaranteed to leave viewers heartbroken and shocked.
Alien
There's no doubt "Alien" has the most famous dinner scene in horror history. When the titular alien bursts out of John Hurt’s character’s chest, not only does it ruin the crew of the Nostromo’s sit-down dinner with disgusting goo and blood, but it also sends them fleeing for cover.
You’re Next
Although the family dinner best conceptualizes how subversive Adam Wingard’s “You’re Next” is, it starts out as a pretty normal affair. However, when Ti West's Tariq is impaled in the head with a crossbow bolt, the movie switches gears and never lets up.
