The cupcake theorum.

After much thought (I may have been stoned at the time), I realized that horror movies rely on a simple trick to scare the audiences.

SUDDEN APPEARANCE OF SOMETHING UNEXPECTED!

Scared yet? It was sudden...

So I had a discussion with my friend about how we could possibly make a horror movie with the strangest scare moments ever.

Let me set the scene..

Its dark, one of the heroes is investigating a strange noise in her kitchen (Heroes in these movies are dumb. If I heard a noise during a murderers rampage, I would GTFO)

She inspects the kitchen, the music is tense and forboding. She opens the cupboard.. there's nothing inside.
Established in earlier in the movie, the killer is a shapeshifter..

Nothing. With a sigh of relief, she turns to leave..

ARRRRRRGH!

A cupcake with a machete is suddenly in front of her and disembowels her with a swift chop.

At this point, I envisage the audience screaming "ARGH! FUCKING CUPCAKE GUTTED HER!"

Is it possible that a cupcake can instill movie 'fear' in a person? Could I scare the audience with the sudden, violent appearance of a strawberry cupcake with a knife?


Discuss.
