< Death Becomes Her

Death Becomes Her/YMMV


  • Nightmare Fuel: Many of the Amusing Injuries throughout the movie.
    • The concept of being forced to live for eternity in a body that has been dead for decades and is literally held together by bandages and spray paint is pretty horrific when you stop to think about it. Especially the state they are in at the end of the film. They're stuck like that forever.
      • 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.
    • Also, it's inevitable that each and every one of the people who have taken the potion will eventually get killed somehow and find themselves in Madeleine and Helen's shoes.
    • Consider how far they can break up. What will be left in a century or so? Sentient dust?
  • Ham and Cheese: Everyone does show a light tendency to ham it up, and it doesn't hurt the slightest.

Helen: En Garde, bitch!

Ernest: Can't you see? IT'S A MIRACLE!

  • He's Just Hiding: Apparently, Hollywood zombies do this after a while, like Greta Garbo and Jim Morrison.
  • Troubled Production: No major catastrophes, but this movie was made back in the early 90's, when digital effects were still in their infancy. This means that they had to stage the scenes down to the smallest detail, and any slight unplanned movement would ruin a take, which had the effect of exhausting the actors. Later on, Meryl said that while she was proud of the movie and her work in it, never again would she do a movie so effects-heavy.
