![]() ģ Beauty and the Beast - Gaston's Gruesome EndingĪs far as Disney villain deaths go, the one in Beauty and the Beast has to be one of the least definitive. Universal Pictures Right, because Vince Vaughn's stare wasn't creepy enough as it was.Īnd speaking of slipping skulls into movies with psychopathic protagonists. We're assuming this is also Hitchcock's pre-emptive way of saying "Those sequels where Norman turns good are hot garbage." And speaking of which, they even did this in the pointlessly faithful 1998 remake with Vince Vaughn - you can see the mother's hair behind Norman as the image fades out. Yep, the last shot of Norman is actually merged with his mother's skull, which was superimposed onto the film, symbolizing how his mother's personality now has complete control. Namely, this lady: This is why it's important to moisturize. He just looks like that because there's a third image in there besides Norman's face and the rear of the car. What's wrong with his teeth? Nothing, his mouth is closed. ![]() Pay attention at around 1:30 into the clip - as the scene fades to the image of a car being dragged out of a swamp (Norman put it there earlier in the movie, since it belonged to the shower lady), there's a brief moment where Norman's face looks like this: Via YouTube Notice anything odd in that scene? Other than, you know, the big weirdo staring at you.

All of the plot and imagery squeezed into a single minute, and all the things Nina does here (getting intimate with people who aren't there, seeing her face on everyone, hallucinating the characters as real people) will happen again as the movie continues.
