Those Scary Moments
Have you ever experienced those scary theater moments in the Lord of the Rings that make you jump out of your seat? I can pick out two that I remember quite vividly.
1) Black Rider jumping out from behind trees and chasing hobbits 2) Cave troll scaring Frodo in Moria Sometimes when you watch it again and you know it's going to happen, it's all the more dreadful. Were there any more scary moments in the Two Towers maybe that I might have missed?

He said: "Get up, you tom-fool of a Took! Where, in the name of wonder, in all this ruin is Treebeard? I want him. Quick!"' 'What are we going to do now then?' asked Pippin, undaunted by the wizard's bristling brows. "Knock on the door with your head, Peregrin Took,' said Gandalf. 'But if that does not shatter them, and I am allowed a little peace from foolish questions, I will seek for the opening words.' 'Fool of a Took!' he growled. 'This is a serious journey, not a hobbit walking-party. Throw yourself in next time, and then you will be no further nuisance. Now be quiet!' Last edited by straight_face : 05-31-2003 at 04:41 PM. |

That Cave Troll makes me jump every time ... although I already know that he will be there.

The first time Sauron's eye showed on screen in Fellowship Of The Ring: Gandalf was reaching down to pick up the Ring after Bilbo had left it. That stunned me. I remember listening on the extended DVD and hearing that this happened to Dominic Monaghan when he saw it also.
Fellowship Of The Ring was a very suspenseful movie, with plenty of frightening instances like the cave troll, black rider, etc.; the Two Towers didn't seem that way at all. |

In FotR: Bilbo's freak-out episode at Rivendell always makes me jump, as did the first few times I saw Sauron's eye. In TTT: the orc chasing Merry and Pippin into Fangorn, and I know there's something else, but it's not coming to me right now.

When Gandalf went to pick up the Ring in Bag End, the cave troll, and when Bilbo saw the Ring in Rivendell and spazzed out. That freaked me out and made me jump a little the first time.

In FOTR: When Bilbo freaks in Rivendell; when the cave-troll attacks Frodo; and when Nazgul come out of nowhere when the hobbits are running to Buckleberry Ferry.
In TTT: Definitely the orc chasing Merry and Pippin; I can't remeber the others very well because I've only seen it, sadly, once, oh, well...can't wait for the extended DVD!

I think the other one in TTT we're all thinking of is something to do w/ Gollum. I'm not sure, maybe when he leaps up to Frodo with the coneys?

I thought the part with Bilbo was great. Nothing else was really scary or surprised me. When Frodo pus on the Ring at Weathertop the Nazgul's faces are really twisted looking and cool but not really jump-out-of-the-seat scary.

The part with the Bilbo freak-out in Rivendell made me jump. I was expecting something and I thought I was ready for whatever it would be, then I relaxed, Bilbo spazzed, I jumped, there was laughter . . . at me. I no longer associate this scene with fright, only embarrassment.

I went and saw TT again last night--only the 2nd time for me. This time I went with my 6 oldest kids, ranging in age from 21 to 9 (yeah, as my bio states, I have almost as many kids as Samwise!).
Anyway, my 9-year-old said the scariest part for him was when Gollum attacked Sam and Frodo while they were sleeping (when they first got together). For me the scariest in TT was when Frodo fell in the Dead Marsh and all those creepy corpses started grabbing for him! I noticed my 9-year-old son had his eyes covered then too! He slept OK last night anyway! |

The flashes of Sauron's Eye always made me jump. And the part when Bilbo freaks out in Rivendell too.
I don't think I was that scared in TT.
