Mirror Mirror

Here's a collection of mirror bits from horror films. Maybe it's a cliche, but mirrors are a great device for movies, lending themselves to all sorts of interesting visuals.

The scenes below are fairly recent, but mirror bits go all the way back to the silent era.



I might add even in the 60s mirrors for horror was a cliche. Here are the Monkees mocking it in Head (though they cut off the punchline where Davy closes the mirror and he's in a different room).



PS Peter is whistling "Strawberry Fields Forever," which was still a fairly new song when they shot the film.

PPS When you chop up Head into two-minute bits, it's a lot better. Probably because it was conceived as two-minute bits.
