History NightmareFuel / DeathBecomesHer

* [[WhatCouldHaveBeen One proposed ending for the film]] had Madeline and Helen stealing a car at Lisle's and chasing after Ernest, only to drive off a cliff and crash with a fiery explosion ([[{{Irony}} just like in the staged "accident" Helen had planned for Madeline earlier in the film]]). Madeline and Helen would've emerged from the wreckage of the car as ''[[BodyHorror charred, smoldering skeletons]]'' -- who are still alive and fully conscious. Yikes.

*** Madeline trying to "fix" her broken neck, twisting it back into place with a SickeningCrunch.

** As Ernest runs around trying to find another doctor to help Madeline, he runs into the lobby of the emergency room, which is devoid of medical personnel -- and occupied by people with bizarre, disturbing injuries (including a tennis player who looks like he had fragments of a racket ''shoved into his knees''). Nightmare Fuel or BlackComedy, it's unsettling all the same.

*** A moment later, Ernest is talking on the phone and we see Madeline's corpse staggering to its feet in the background, ''with its neck twisted and broken''. The uncanny nature of the CGI makes it incredibly creepy.

** Madeline blowing a massive hole in Helen's chest with a shotgun... and an ''incredibly'' pissed-off Helen rising up, moments later, from the bloody fountain she was blown into.

*** A moment later, Ernest is talking on the phone and we see Madeline's corpse staggering to its feet in the background, ''with its neck twisted and broken''. The background blurriness makes it incredibly creepy.

* The emergency room doctor (played by the late Creator/SydneyPollack) examines a post-NeckSnap Madeline, and announces (after [[INeedAFreakingDrink taking a swig]] from Ernest's flask) that Madeline's neck, along with wrist, is broken in multiple places (with bones protruding from the skin), her body is room temperature, and she has no pulse. In shock, he steps away for a minute to get a second opinion. Minutes later, Ernest finds him flatlining on an operating table, with doctors frantically attempting to revive him. The shock of Madeline's condition was overwhelming enough to put him into cardiac arrest. We don't know if he was brought back or if he died, though it seems the latter likely occurred.

* The eerily floating, crying nuns that pass Ernest as he makes his way to the morgue. The scene [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment comes completely out of nowhere]], given that it was meant to tie into another scene which got deleted and was never released). The result is rather unsettling, even in a movie full of BlackHumor and Body Horror.

** Madeline's shockingly violent fall down the staircase. Complete with a closeup of her neck snapping on one of the marble steps.

** Madeline blowing a massive hole in Helen's chest with a shotgun...and an ''incredibly'' pissed-off Helen rising up moments later from the bloody fountain she was blown into.

** Though they seem more annoyed than horrified.
** And how about the good folks that would soon be proceeding out of Ernest's funeral only to find two disfigured corpses on the steps of the church talking to each other?

** Consider how far they can break up... What will be left of them in a century or so? Sentient ''dust''?!
*** That depends on how far the potion's abilities extend; Madeline and Helen might be physically dead, but their heads always remain intact, so it may be that they could still 'die' if their brains were completely destroyed, much like in ''Series/TorchwoodMiracleDay''.

** That scene was really creepy! They looked like ghosts!
