Near The End Of The Mask, Peggy Is "Hilariously" Murdered

In the 1994 Jim Carrey movie The Mask, a shy bank teller finds a magical mask and receives all the powers of Loki, but with absolutely none of the sex appeal. The mask essentially lets its wearer shape reality to their will, creating, destroying, or transforming matter in any way they want. The main character mainly uses this power to try to score with Cameron Diaz, as was the way of the '90s.

The Mask comes across reporter Peggy Brandt, and the two form a kind of friendship. At one point, she even rescues him from the police ... but then later she sells his green ass to a crime lord who wants the powers of the Mask for himself. In the theatrical run, we see Peggy receive a suitcase full of money for her betrayal, and then disappear without a trace. But in the original cut, Peggy doesn't make it out alive.

There's A Gruesome Serial Killer In Cars

There is a lot of subtly terrifying stuff about the world of Pixar's Cars series. There's the fact that it had a car Hitler in it, that one car had eyes where its nipples should be, and the Murder Forest. Not familiar with that last one?

In this deleted scene, hero Lightning McQueen gets lost and stumbles upon a spot in a forest. It's full of old cars, some of them impaled on trees. Pixar claims it was a graveyard, but from McQueen's point of view, it's hard to see this as anything but a fucked-up horror movie.

Pixar
Or a really fucked-up Rule 34.

See, the world of Cars mirrors ours in many ways. The Cars' cars have houses, restaurants, toilets, etc, so it stands to reason they also have graveyards. Maybe that's what junkyards are? The shells all lined up neatly somewhere, so loved ones can visit? They definitely don't abandon their deceased family members in some offroad forest and let the forest mutilate them. McQueen obviously disturbed some psycho's open-air murder showroom, which is why he gets out of there as soon as possible. While screaming.

A Kid Is Killed By Zombies In The Scorch Trials, And Nobody Cares

The Scorch Trials is the second film in the Maze Runner series. These YA films are set on a post-apocalyptic Earth after a solar flare / global pandemic combo. The titular Maze is a science experiment meant to study the brains of young people who are immune to the world-ending virus, which for some reason necessitates the need to kill them with elephant-sized bio-tech spiders.

In Scorch Trials, the few teens who managed to survive the Maze find themselves attacked by zombies created by the virus. One of those Maze survivors is a kid named Jack, who at one point just ... disappears. First, here are the survivors before they enter an abandoned mall filled with zombies, with Jack standing on the left:

And here they are a few horror-and-zombie-filled moments later, with Jack not standing anywhere, because he's no longer with the group:

He disappeared quicker than interest in this franchise.

And THIS is what was supposed to happen in the middle:

Jack sacrifices his life to help his friends escape, getting torn to pieces by sci-fi zombies in the process. The scene was cut because Jack reportedly left so little impact on audiences that the director felt he could cut the death scene and no one would notice.

He was right.

Not only did audiences seem ambivalent about what happened to Jack, but so did his so-called friends, none of whom ever talk about Jack or his sacrifice, despite later making a big fuss about their other friend Winston, who's only bitten by one zombie. So there's your lesson, Bland Movie Dudes: Adopt a catchphrase or something, because otherwise you'll die horrifically ... and what's worse, you'll do it off-screen.
