Horror can pop up in the strangest places in non-horror films and somehow affect us more than an entire horror film depending on the context. Join us as we showcase one of these moments with this months' offering...
Round the world and home again
That's the sailor's way
Faster faster, faster faster
There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing
Is it raining, is it snowing
Is a hurricane a-blowing
Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing
Are the fires of Hell a-glowing
Is the grisly reaper mowing
Yes, the danger must be growing
For the rowers keep on rowing
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing
Granted there is much about Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory that is creepy as hell from the brilliance that is Gene Wilder to the twisted concept created by Roald Dahl. But if you needed concrete proof of its origins in horror this brilliant scene of a trip to hell complete with soundtrack is thrillingly evil, and you can't help but be singing for the rest of the day.
