Moment of Horror #1

A new feature to the Blogue is what I am going to call a Moment of Horror. These will be bits, scenes, lines, images, etc. that I feel have a significant or note worthy place in the horror genre.

Although I do not intend this feature to be a ranking system or in any chronological order, what better place to start than with one of the most impact full scenes from the earliest years of Horror on the silver screen.

Count Orloc rises from the Coffin



















An iconic film with a myriad of compelling and powerful images, this particular scene holds a special place in Horror history. Although we have already been introduced to the Count, have seen him in his coffin and have even been menaced by him before; here with his un-natural levitation from the box the point truly hits home about his nature and supernatural power. A more powerful scene of a vampire rising from his slumber has yet to be put on film.
