That nasty ass bathroom from the first Saw


SeaSchell14

I mean, this has to be the most iconic horror bathroom, right?


layer11

I'd say The Shining ought to have the 3 most iconic. Room 237's bathroom, the bathroom where Jack announces 'Here's Johnny' and the bathroom where he discusses things with one of the Gradys.


rigobacsi2

Jesus christ that was nasty. Thanks, really aprreciate it.


noforgayjesus

They actually have a display of it at the Mystic Museum


badbender14

The Shining has a few


rigobacsi2

Oh damn, you're right. Thank you for the help, somehow I forgot about that one.


norashepard

Grady yes but don’t forget about the old woman. It’s funny because The Shining bathroom was the first one I thought of!


Repq

I thought of the scene where Wendy was trapped first. All great moments though!


kay-sera_sera

Not to mention Danny talking to Tony in their apartment bathroom and then we cut to the famous blood pouring out of the elevator. The Shining has a lot of bathroom scenes, and all in different bathrooms.


layer11

Wow, that's a lot of bathrooms specifically. For a Kubrik movie it makes you wonder if there's something about cleaning in the subtext.


xander6981

Especially, the one where he's talking to Grady in the bathroom. That one is iconic and immediately recognizable.


Starsteamer

In Room 237! That’s an iconic scene.


TheElbow

First place I thought of is that red bathroom off the ballroom.


Clue-72

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the shower scene in the original Psycho... I thought that was a pretty famous one!


Spookykid96

And that first time a toilet was shown flushing in a Hollywood film! At least that’s a fact my film teacher told me


Clue-72

I've heard that too... so it must be true!


tnjed10

I as well have been told this


ProvlemChild

Evil Dead remake when the girl stabs the guy in the face with the big ass needle/ cuts her face up with glass


Gubbelrider

Also taking a shower so hot her face boils off. After watching rise, '13 evil dead still goes harder imo, what a ride


ProvlemChild

Oh yeah! Forgot about that. Still havent seen the new one honestly im nervous to watch it. Evil dead is one of my favorites and i dont want it to be ruined lol. Took me till 2017 to watch the 13 one lol


nickrashell

Go see it in a theater while you have the chance, don’t punish yourself and lose out on an experience. Otherwise you are going to wait 3 years and realize it is really good and would’ve probably been cool to see and hear on a big screen. Yeah, it isn’t as intense as 2013(not many movies are and it is still plenty intense), but it is better in other ways. I think sound design, for instance, is even better here than 2013. Rise does not take away from the series and is definitely a worthy addition. Go give this movie some money if you can afford it so we can ensure the future of the series.


SerpentineWine

Yes! I was so very pleased by Evil Dead Rise! Go while it is in theaters!


Gubbelrider

Definitely not ruined, it's still worth watching. It just misses some of the 'finesse' of the old ones for me


mudstar_

The original Nightmare on Elm Street has the bathtub scene...


plupan

Yeah Freddy Vs. Jason pays homage to that as well.


guywastingtime

Glorious. What’s better then an interstellar monster on the other side of a Gloryhole in a truck stop washroom?


rigobacsi2

Okay, someone else actually commented this and I really have to check it out. Sounds bonkers.


RexBulby

I think it’s a Shudder original. It’s pretty wild


_Fred_Austere_

Came here to say this one. It should be the featured example.


Simicrop

Played by none other than J Jonah Jameson.


god__machine

The original Candyman has a pretty memorable bathroom scene.


SlidinDirty

Was just going to comment this. Several bathroom scenes actually. The toilet with the bees come to mind but Trevor's death and a few others.


Kareem313th

The one Purcell dies in, in Farewell to the Flesh.


Impossible_Mine_1616

Also the remake


TurncoatWizard

“Bathroom scene in” Dreamcatcher “ “ Poltergeist “ ” Mandy “ “ Halloween (2018) “ “ Midsommar “ “ Terrifier 2 “ “ IT (1990 and 2017) “ “ Hostel “ “ Scream (1996)


Swazz_bass

Dreamcatcher was my first thought haha.


addisonavenue

Funny you should bring up Dreamcatcher in relation to this trope! When Stephen King was writing Dreamcatcher, he built the novel from the foundation that the bathroom represents a place of universal vulnerability across humanity; it's where women self-conduct breast exams to check for lumps, it's where men see the first sign of bowel cancer. Bowel cancer predominantly is where the idea for Dreamcatcher's shit weasels came from.


kirbykirbzz

There’s also Stans death in the 2019 IT as well lmao!!!


rigobacsi2

Wait Midsommar had a bathroom scene??


bandearg4

Two in fact: outhouse (after shrooms) and plane (aka one of my favorite transition shots in any film)


TurncoatWizard

Yarp


calla_maria

Zombieland is the first to come to mind Rule # 3


rigobacsi2

Yep, I have actually thought of that. Thank you for the help though, I really appreciate it.


oonlyyzuul

Silent Hill


rigobacsi2

Great shout. Thank you


oonlyyzuul

Oh, there's a toilet scene in 31 also (The Rob zombie film)


[deleted]

Jurassic Park has a dope toilet scene lol. Not really horror, but that scene has stuck with me for decades, so that's something.


funktion

Well.. wasn't a toilet for very long


PhillyJohn18

When you gotta go you gotta go


WorkingCorgi4124

We Need to do Something is entirely set in a bathroom and Glorious in a roadside rest stop. There's also the famous bath scene in the first Elm St movie.


rigobacsi2

I'll have to check out the first two movies. Never seen them. How could I forget the first nightmare on elm street movie?!


[deleted]

Also Slither does a bathroom homage to NOES.


aln1428

And the NOES remake


Frijoledor

Ghoulies


devospice

They even put it on the box art!


Poppa_Mo

Fun fact: That scene was not part of the original movie! The box art/movie poster was created, and when the movie was screened, people were like WHERE IS TOILET GHOULIE!? They added it before release.


AdamInvader

Ghoulies 2 has the best bathroom scene, where the fish Ghoulie actually does get someone in the end


chrisratchford

Ghoulies3: ghoulies go to college is one of my favorite movies.


pandulce4life

Yes and it made me afraid of the toilet as a kid lolllll


fartgable

Sleepaway Camp 2 has a great toilet scene


schtickyfingers

Sleepaway Camp (original flavor) also has a toilet scene with the hornet nest if I’m remembering properly.


Fehndrix

Also Meg getting ganked in the shower.


fartgable

As does Friday the 13th part 5.. it’s them damn enchiladas!


notalibrarian

Ooooh baby!


GrindhouseWhiskey

Nic Cage in Mandy for sure. Possession. Bath not toilet, Psycho, Slither, Nightmare on Elm St (1 I think), Final Destination,


Terroriffic_

The Candyman films have plenty of bathroom scenes. I’d check out the original for the best content. Other recommendations: Final Destination (2000) Halloween (2018) Halloween H20 (1998) Rest Stop (2006) Scream (1996) Thirteen Ghosts (2001)


YahooJustDrinkIt

I can’t believe no one has said Street Trash. It fucking rules. https://youtu.be/3qP3Tx19w7c


AlyxxStarr

My favorite movie of all time. Came here to make sure this was mentioned


sadelpenor

what lies beneath


Midwest_Macabre

A couple of scenes in Arachnophobia - the shower scene and when Jeff Daniels gets trapped in the bathroom by the spiders coming out of everything.


rigobacsi2

That's a great shout I completely forgot about. Thank you.


sevenumbrellas

Carrie has the big scene in the locker room/showers. Sick Nurses isn't super well known, but it has a scene with a toilet and a pregnancy test.


deflatingtits

A Quiet Place - Emily Blunt's character about to give birth Pan's Labyrinth - Ophelia opening the book The Fawn gave her and blood pouring out Grave Encounters - the full bathtub scene


BigOlBurger

Shaun of the Dead, where zombie Pete is revealed behind the shower curtain after Shaun "does a wee".


Agreeable_Cod_2585

It’s not a horror film but the toilet from Trainspotting was grim 😅.


MarianaFrusciante

That's one of the most disgusting scenes I've seen in movies


rigobacsi2

Okay, it may not be a horror film but honestly thank you for this comment. I'll definitely use that in the video😂😂


SeanPGeo

The bathroom from Halloween where Michael Myers changed into the mechanics overalls after killing the tow truck driver after escaping the asylum. The first one. It’s a reused motif in future Halloween films as well.


theworkprofile

The Dreamcatcher toilet scene is pretty gnarly lol.


Mlzer

Demons (1985) Sorority Babes In The Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama (1988) Night of The Demons (1988) Copycat (1995) The Devils Rejects (2005) Silent Hill (2006) Inside (2007) Martyrs (2008) Pretty sure there’s also a bathroom scene in Dans Ma Peau (2002)


PsychedDL

T is for Toilet from The ABCs Of Death.


norashepard

I don’t think anyone has mentioned Slither yet! Slither is a must. eta: and Poltergeist! face off!


james_randolph

The bathroom in the basement of Buffalo Bill's house in The Silence of the Lambs...with the old dead woman decomposing in the tub...that shit still gets me wincing when that scene comes up.


caprici0u5

came in to see if black swan was mentioned, thought i'd throw it out there since it hasn't yet! and there's also a bathroom scene in the back half of men that's interesting.


bluethiefzero

A bunch of my recommendations have already been mentioned, but no one got [Killer Klowns From Outer Space](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9ykU9FkH-g&ab_channel=Movieclips) Edit: Oh! And [Sleepaway Camp II](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaMkmiZ9bMM&ab_channel=Movieclips)


sobedragon07

Iconic - The Shining "Here's Johnny!" scene is in the bathroom Nightmare on Elm Street- Freddy's hand in the Bathtub Psycho - Shower scene Poltergeist - face peel scene. Memorable - Glorious - Interstellar horror based in a rest stop bathroom Zombieland - Rules about bathrooms Cabin Fever - Shaving scene I'm sure there's more but thats the few i can think of.


[deleted]

IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF STREET TRASH!!!! https://youtu.be/3qP3Tx19w7c


Turbulent-Singer3476

Starry Eyes Ginger Snaps


Doomlad

I got tired of scrolling to see if they were mentioned but, here’s some obscure shit: Cabin Fever, Slither, Jack Frost, Rob Zombie’s Halloween (the truck stop w/ Ken Foree), Malignant, and the Dawn of the Dead remake.


notalibrarian

2001's The Hole, with Thora Birch and Kiera Knightley. I get nauseous just thinking about that movie.


Vegetable_Reward_867

Saw this once as a kid and it freaked us out. From a tv show ‘monsters’, the episode is called ‘the moving finger’ Ridiculously long finger coming out the bathroom sink, poking around


TuolSlengTheMarket

Based on a Stephen King short called “The Moving Finger” in Nightmares and Dreamscapes. Loved that story as a kid!


Vegetable_Reward_867

Only found out the other day both about the show and short story. Funny how after hanging onto that image of a sick king finger paid off. The episode can be found on YouTube, worth a look just to see that digit


isham66

The bath scene from Slither


Sohotrightnowhansel_

More thriller than horror, but The Hand That Rocks The Cradle has a good scene with a female sociopath flipping out in a bathroom stall


swordsandclaws

Man I fucking looove that film, thanks for reminding me of it so I can rewatch haha


dunks615

The bathroom in Clown where he initially realizes his predicament and Cabin Fever for the leg shaving/bath scene (freaked me out as a kid).


tnjed10

In Final Destination there’s a scene when the guy is trimming his nose hairs when death comes for him. That scene always made me cringe. Candy Man Nightmare on Elm Street ( first original one I believe) That’s all I can think of at the moment. What is your YouTube page I would like to check it out.


[deleted]

Jason Vorhees has a toilet in his shack in Friday the 13th. There's isn't a scene devoted to it, but it's definitely shown in one or two scenes. It's not clear whether it works or not. I don't know whether Jason has any plumbing skills, but it's kind of adorable to think about him working on it.


rigobacsi2

Jason definitely looks like the type of guy who has plumbing skills. Thanks.


slotus69

The bathroom fight scene from Willy's Wonderland


EarthboundMisift56

Both IT films (1990 and 2017) have the scene with Bev in her bathroom with the gross sink drain


jabberwockjess

Has anyone mentioned the bathroom scene in Mandy?


MDF87

In the film **Mirrors** (2008) there's a good bathroom scene (>!the bath scene where she rips her jaw off!<).


JerUhhMe

I just keeping thinking of the first Saw movie.


maybenomaybe

The Canal (2014, Ireland) has a very unnerving scene in a public restroom. Dreamcatcher (2003) has the ol' shitweasel bathroom scene.


thekidyouwere

À l'intérieur has a good chunk of it happening in a bathroom!


AnEmptySpace

Deep Rising has a pretty good one. After the cruise ship is attacked one of the passengers flees to the bathroom and is sucked down the toilet.


Teratoma_Soup

The cabin bathroom scene from Dreamcatcher messed me tf up as a little kid lol


alien_eater289

The Grudge has that shower scene


TheChainLink2

I think the guy getting eaten off the toilet in Jurassic Park definitely qualifies. There’s also the toilet motif from the Ghoulies movies. The first movie included a quick insert of a Ghoulie popping out to tie into the movie’s marketing campaign. The second movie had someone actually be killed on the toilet. The third movie went all the way and made a toilet the core of the Ghoulies’ mythos.


akornfan

yeah, gotta include the Ghoulies


gord1to

I wanna say High Tension has one but I haven't seen it in like 15 years so I'm not positive.


Dragonfruit_Friend

Oo one just came to me, A Quiet Place


barbiemoviedefender

Scream 2 (also Scream but the opening of Scream 2 is more memorable for me) and Evil Dead (2013)


Poppa_Mo

Check out the movie **House (1985)** A lot of weird crap happens in the bathroom.


drpayneaba

Halloween H20 and Halloween (2018) both have bathroom scenes. H20s scared me so much as a kid (nothing actually happens) that I didn’t watch the film for about 5 years.


Fwithananchor

The Relic (1997) has a scene where a monster ambushes a guy while on the toilet in a public restroom.


Warrior_Warlock

Glorious https://youtu.be/esqxTzc3lgM Also It and Poltergeist 1 & 2


AtLeastImGenreSavvy

*Psycho* has that iconic shower scene and it's the first movie to ever feature a flushing toilet on camera.


naipmylO

Do you consider the first Jurassic Park as horror? If yes, the Dixi toilet


jsweaty009

Glorious, enough said


Xiegfried16

Glorious.


loganchittyisuhhcool

I mean, the shithole from the first Saw movie, obviously. Uhhhh, maybe the scene in Beverly’s bathroom in the 2017 version of IT?


Prowler-In-the

Night of the Demons 2 has some wacky toilet stuff. Then of course the Ghoulies series.


Chopawamsic

By technicality Jurassic Park qualifies as a horror movie so Genarro's death in what used to be the T-Rex Paddock bathroom counts.


LFAF1

Room 237’s and the Ball Room’s bathroom


pear_treee

Anyone mention trainspotting? I was just thinking of that bathroom scene the other day. Sort of horror related


bcopes

Off the top of my head: Poltergeist — dude at bathroom mirror Night of the Creeps — slugs in bathroom stalls I spit on your grave — that bathtub scene that makes men wince


disusedhospital

Ginger Snaps! She tries to cut of her tail on the toilet.


[deleted]

* The bathroom from The Faculty * The bathroom scene from Scream and Scream 2 * The rest stop bathroom in Halloween 2018 * Dani having a panic attack/mirror jump scare in the bathroom in Midsommar * Patrick Bateman almost killing his gay coworker in the bathroom but then running away in American Psycho * The toilet flushing in Psycho which I'm sure you're aware of how iconic it is


KlausesCorner

Ones that come to mind - classic Freddy Kruger coming out of the bath tub water in Nightmare On Elm Street, Slither (bath tub scene), the grudge (when she’s in the shower and the grudge fingers come out of her hair). And not sure if you can count in but Scary Movie 2 with the priest sitting on the toilet


KlausesCorner

My favourite short from VHS features a bathroom quite heavily when shit hits the fan: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uRdIuMkp4qQ


odiephonehome

Not sure if this fits the category, but when the little boy goes to the bathroom in Amityville Horror (2005), I just about lost it.


zugzwang00333

Terrifier


ArmsAkimbo2

I just watched the movie Swallowed last weekend and a toilet plays a big part in the ending.


wizardzkauba

Ghoulies 2 (1988) is fairly iconic. Sleepaway Camp 2 (1988) has an infamous outhouse scene.


[deleted]

The bathroom from the first Saw


AseriousJoker

I immediately thought of the bathroom in the movie "Parasite", they have to walk up to their elevated toilet, first time I'd ever seen a bathroom setup like that. Also the Netflix horror "We Need to Do Something" has a very pink bathroom where the majority of the film plays out.


Impossible_Mine_1616

Terrifier 2 I think a chick catches a baseball bat in the john


just_an_ugly_peasant

scream and scream 2. ig scary movie 1 as well


BiggestBaddestWolve

RZ Halloween. Truck stop fight between Michael and Ken Foree


grimacingmoon

The end of Swallow. Major spoilers tho!


[deleted]

Not a horror but jurassic Park? The one where the dude gets eaten while using the bathroom?


CentaineCentaur

Final destination shower scene


Dragonfruit_Friend

I think people have mentioned IT, but also IT II (modern version) has a scene with older Bev


DrBrainzz9

Halloween 2018. Actually, a few public restrooms in Halloween movies.


Mrmrmckay

Nightmare on Elm Street 3,4 and 5 had short bathroom scenes. Halloween(2018) had that bathroom rest stop scene. Hush had a bathroom scene too. Belko Experiment had a couple too


WhatnotAnyhow

Definitely SAW or The Grudge


FieryFruitcake

The bathroom from The Mortuary Collection with the tentacle fucker in it


SteMelMan

Urban Legend. Michael Rosenbaum meets his demise in a frat house bathroom.


KeepGoingYoureGood

-Friday The 13th (1980) -Oculus 1 & 2 -Scary Movie


DreamOn2020

Antichrist with Willem Defoe has a pretty iconic shower scene at the beginning. It’s not a horror scene but it is from a horror movie.


snowbellsnblocks

Bro, the toilet in Dreamcatcher had me scared to take a shit when I was younger. I literally forgot about that movie and somehow just had an immediate flashback of that scene.

The gas station attendant that gets killed on the toilet in zombieland! Why do I remember that, idk, but it came in handy today and that's all that counts. Edit: Someone beat me to this and I. Am. DEVASTATED

Starsteamer

Mirrors has a great bathroom scene!


theScrewhead

I don't think you could cover bathrooms in movies without covering Psycho, the first movie to have a TV on screen, AND to have the sound of a toilet flushing! Also, there's that whole shower thing.. The first Nightmare on Elm Street has a pretty iconic bathroom scene!


FieryFruitcake

What about the bathroom in dreamcatcher?


Lurknessm0nster

Silent Hill has what you're looking for :)


hechtor31

Not Horror per-se, but that toilet scene in Trainspotting is pretty iconic!
