Peewee's disturbing clown dream

[@Taxrenn93]

Forget the large Marge scene, this is what terrified me as a kid, and I'm not even scared of clowns normally.

[@derekllewellyn6663]

Do you know what me to

[@derekllewellyn6663]

It's looks like scary scard me 😢😮

[@10INTM]

As a kid I always had to hide behind the couch to avoid the part where he takes off his surgical mask.

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

Ugh, I'm not as scared as I used to be, but if I saw these things running around at night, especially in an ambalance, I'm running like Hell away. Curse those clowns!

[@derekllewellyn6663]

Old Tuscan studios nightfall happy Halloween day

[@Arkonu]

ironically the devil is less frightening then the goddamned clowns.

[@THELindseyLeigh]

this destroyed me as a child and began a fear of clowns and surgeons with masks on. thanks, pee wee!

[@Yew424]

"I'm all alone, I'm rolling a big donut, and there's this snake wearing a vest"

[@Jakarii]

Trevor killing all the clowns lol

[@BronzNazareth]

1:16 I love how the claw totally misses the bike lol, I was very young when this came out and it's still awesome.

[@stewartwhitworth9113]

+BronzNazareth I think it just goes through the wheel then snaps shut to lift it up

[@DonCorleone1]

This explains it all. I have had this fear of clowns my whole life and never could remember why. I just thought about it today and this was it. Thanks for letting me relive that one.. lol

[@darkservantofheaven]

cant sleep clowns will eat me, cant sleep clowns will eat me

[@Aznar245]

The creepy clown doc looks like Will Ferell

[@punkyrubberducky4]

Me too! I hadn't watched it for probably 10 years when I got it for Christmas last year, and then when I saw this part, I felt pangs of terror coming back to me and I realized...this movie is why I hate clowns so much. It's weird how much stuff affects you even years later.

[@RainMan34]

His style of music was best showcased for this film. The waltzes he loves to write fit in very well with the carnivale premise and goofy nature of PeeWee's adventure. It's perfect!

[@AaronAirstrike]

This scared the @&#% outta me when I was a kid.

[@chahalele]

GTA 5 brought me here

[@EletricalMonkey]

I use to have such a fear of clowns when I was little and I had nightmares from this for weeks. Watching it again I can't help but laugh its pretty comical in a twisted way

[@trapdoored]

i actually wasnt scared by this as a kid but now that i watch this, im freaked out.

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

This scene used to terrify me for years (and caused many a nightmare) when I first saw this as a little girl. Its taken me almost 18 years to get over it and this scene still unnerves me.

[@Mira_Dunia]

1:46--1:53 Now I know why Nostalgia Critic is anti-horn.

[@Doobie1975]

I love the music during the dream sequence, I knew alot of people who were scared of the clown doctors and the evil face surgeon's evil laughter but I thought it was hilarious!

[@80MWH]

This was probably one scene that kept me from watching the film for many years. 1:02 I remember being freaked out by. Though in my mind, I always assumed after they lowered it into the cauldron, it was pulled up as a red-demon-bike with a demon's head in place of the lion's on the front.

[@IIKitsuneII]

I love the music. I totally call that as my theme song music :D That was my favorite part in the movie.

[@bclizownin]

The score on this makes the whole movie. One of my all time favorite movies

[@kwv889j]

Did the devil meow?

[@BbDle88]

Man this part freaked me out so much when I was little, and it still does today..

[@MK1MonsterOck1989]

Even though as a child he wasn't fond of the '70's style bike, my friend still was FREAKED from those evil and horribly ugly living objects! That and a video game his older brother was watching caused him to have coulrophobia, the fear of clowns. He also was freaked out by the clown statue at the beginning of the movie. he wasn't all that scared of "Large Marge" he says it wasmore like a "mindwrencher"!

[@ProMonarchyGenius]

This is one of my favourite parts of this movie and this movie is one of my all time favourites

[@Doobie1975]

Where can I find the music from the dream sequence, even the music on this part was scary?

[@SirKendalMintcake]

This is really powerful stuff... The music is spot-on, the clown's make-up is scary and I think the underlying terror is that you must trust those clowns to fix Peewee's bike. They hardly portray a professional image!!! I think that this particular scene is a masterpiece, perhaps for the wrong reasons. Even the music is scary and with a repetitive beat that gets right into your head. Uuuggh!

[@GetMasty]

It was just a stage show originally. It led to the special on HBO called "The Pee-Wee Herman Show". I believe he made the decision to direct the "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" towards kids. Not sure...

[@RoosterMontgomery]

Don't have the DVD handy, did anyone catch the name on the welding surgeon's name tag?

[@zackgb]

For people who haven't seen the DVD, the doctor is actually Pee Wee's doctor in the hospital scene that is deleted. Scary!!

[@yasXcore]

i need to watch this film again for my design work but i can't.. large marge gave me nightmares for years! thx for this clip tho! i can jus about bear this one >.

[@SoJustCool]

There was something I loved about this scene. I saw this movie about age 7...I can see how it can be scary for kids younger...but I loved this scene, and the music. The hallway reminded me of Alice in Wonderland, and this whole movie reminds me of the circus..or McDonalds...or this Barnum and Baily magazine I used to have when I was younger.

[@TommyBoy249r]

i love this movie SO much... this is one of my favorite parts. Also Pee-Wee's breakfast machine (obviously) and his ride thru the park

[@minespatch]

@elliottchrist You can tell the Tim Burton touch by the wall-less passage the clown-doctors go through. Possibly a shout-out to Doctor Calligari.

[@Doobie1975]

At around the 1:04 didn't the clown look like he was feeling sad, it's the clown who was standing at the surgeon's left, it's something I've had noticed before, this was one of my childhood favorite movies.

[@TheSkullKlownTSK]

When I was a kid, Evil Bicycle Clown stude with me still to this day as...well look at my channel name.

[@RocketLabFX]

@pixargod this movie was like right before beetle juice but you can see where tim burton was already trying out some things that seem similar in beetlejuice.

[@InYourFaceNewYorker]

Doesn't it sound like the music they played during the final battle between Simba and Scar in the Broadway version of "The Lion King?"

[@xXGhilliedxSamuraiXx]

I watched this movie when I was 6 and every year I have watched it since. This scene never gets any less freaky. Why would this be in the movie!

[@daniellesHXC]

OMFG how weird is it that i've had a repeating dream since i was a kid that was in this warehouse and never realized where it was from until now.

[@skinnydoggyz]

the first time i saw primus (in 2010) this music was played before they went on stage and it made me ecstatic. i did not realize at the time it was from this movie, but it's awesome because this is probably my favorite movie and primus is my favorite band.

[@SirKendalMintcake]

I thought I was the only one that got 110% freaked-out by this scene. It's spooky as hell!

[@chicago6584]

Man this takes me back

[@afriendofbean]

It's amazing that I never knew that Francis was the one who played as the Devil in this scene which I found on the internet.

[@RustyMuck]

Don't forget Tim Burton handled some of the special effects in Howard The Duck. He was so good in directing this movie that WB entrusted him to direct Batman. The rest is history. Also, don't forget Danny Elfman's chilling music here. Fresh out of Oingo Boingo, this was his big break. And Phil Hartman co-wrote the script with Paul Rubens, well before SNL and "The Simpsons."

[@foxxyloxx]

I can't believe people were more afraid of Large Marge than this. My mom tells me I was petrafied of this movie as a kid, but didn't remember which scene did it. As soon as I saw this, I was 3 years old again. Jesus Christ.. Oddly enough, the glittery clown wig brought it all back. lol. I think this also explains why I was afraid of hospitals for as long as I can remember.

[@MrsLovett112]

He has a thing about sequels. He refused to do the second one, although they asked.

[@Jimenopolix]

Ahh, now I see Tim Burton's dark side. I never should have thought that this was too comedic for a Tim Burton film.

[@TheKrazyKupcake]

i used to play this movie when i had sleepovers as a kid and the parents of all my friends thought i was insane cause i was the only kid that didn't get scared watching it i couldn't help it i was raised off Tim Burton movies lol

[@Doobie1975]

I remember this scene used to scare the shit out of my cousin and the face surgeon's evil laughter is hauntingly hilarious

[@eyeonwashparish]

This actually did creep me out when I was younger. I still loved his movie to death though.

[@MrJack83124]

I saw this movie when I was 3 or 4...this scene gave me nightmares for years!

[@kolisionn]

yeah i remember this when i was a kid, i didn't think pee wee shoud have been for the kids. he was a real disturbing character...

[@0g0dn0]

I watched this scene as a child. When the doctor pulled down his mask to reveal what I now see to be facepaint, I actually thought he had a mouthful of jagged shark teeth. It's still extremely disturbing, but this scene was way more terrifying back then. High octane nightmare fuel.

[@Joelomite]

Big props to Danny Elfman for a HYSTERICALLY AWESOME movie score! It's simultaneously grand and ridiculous....still sounds great today!

[@chucknorris687]

Just get a new bike peewee.

[@MondoBeno]

I've always hated clowns, ever since I was a kid. The idea of a man wearing that much lipstick gave me the creeps.

[@charmingwizkidwizard]

This scared me as a child too! I wonder what happens to a child's personality when they watch this.

[@thelaserman999]

This sence would scarier if instead of clowns it would be midget Justin Bibers.

[@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews]

This guy got caught holding his thing-a-ma-bobber in a theatre.

[@Penguinsrbetterthanu]

This is the scene that made me afraid of clowns forever. I still love you PeeWee!

[@Enforcerj79]

@hungryhhippo Yeah. The creepy hallway at 0:39 had Tim Burton written all over it.

[@liveontheclassics]

I remembered watching Pee Wee Herman's Great Adventure and this was one of my worst part of the movie because it scared me when I was little, I would always close my eyes and plug my ears when I see this part. :/

[@SlurpMcGurk]

some of the original actors from pee-wee's playhouse have passed away so I question the legitimacy of the rest of that post.

[@agskater1914]

I watched this while on Salvia. I now know the meaning of life.

[@Doobie1975]

The clown doctors used to scare the shit out of my cousin but the scene that terrifies me is the doctor with the wicked and evil laugh!

[@ignoranceandwant]

What's interesting is that the two scary scenes aren't really graphic...Large Marge is just a goofy stop motion puppet and the evil surgeon is just a guy in '40s surgical garb with an extra row of teeth painted on his lips and a devil's smile.

[@ARyesMP]

Damn I always thought this scene was disturbing when I was a kid. It still is. LOL!

[@jazzalex22]

When my sister was little she was scared of this scene. She had to leave the room when it came on. I love this scene really and this movie too.

[@jkruchert1]

the song in the dream is the opening for primus

[@Denetsu]

I remember watching this as a little kid. It scared me just as much then, as it does now. If not worse...O_o

[@studiosguignol]

From 0:49, interesting the variety of expressions. :)

[@SoJustCool]

you're very right. he did the simpsons, and sure its a good theme, and he's done other movie scores of course, but this...yes...his style matches pee wee totally.

[@Kara_Kay_Eschel]

I always thought that this meant that Francis hang out with clowns and people bikes. The bike represents the soul.

[@DougMcArthurMusic]

This totally gave me nightmares as a child. So so disturbing. Clowns are evil.

[@Holly18250]

THIS is the reason why I am terrified of clowns. This very fucking scene scarred me for life!

[@GennyI3eerDrinkr]

i think this scene is substantial, in that peewee now knows who his true enemy is: francis. the clowns were just there for backup, :P

[@laztothelow]

I can't believe my parents thought this would be good for me when I was a kid.

[@linkfan160]

I hate how people think Tim Burton movies are only for kids. DX This is a perfect example of one that isn't.

[@RustyMuck]

Not to mention, one can clearly see early elements of Beetlejuice in this... especially with the 0:39 hallway scene.

[@frickinlameo]

one of the best scenes ever.....wait.....how can i say that? every scene is the best scene ever isn't it? silly me

[@JBthree24]

whenever I think of Frances or the guy who plays him i think of this song

[@ScorpioDreamer1984]

@SergeantLuke when the director is Tim Burton, the creepy vibe is to be expected!

[@Modern_Robot]

OK, this film and Brave Little Toaster both had the most fucked up Clown nightmares ever on film.

[@DemonGSD999]

When Pee Wee is shaking his head the music sounds like some they used in the Twighlight Zone.

[@dagamer1234]

this whole movie is just so weird, scares the crap out of me.

[@mikenike123454]

That giant claw doesn't even grab the bike!

[@MsYukari]

This was very scary to me too! And I wasn't scared of clowns until I saw this.

[@atomofish]

Danny Elfman's music is pretty awesome in this scene.

[@DemonGSD999]

When I was a kid I used to think there was an old ambulance with clowns driving around the neighborhood at night trying to find me. (Shivers Like Bart Simpson)

[@OlderG0ds]

@ILIEKGIRLS You, my friend, have just watched what insanity looks like in film form.

[@ValeriaSue]

This was so scary to me as a kid that I'd have to leave the room when it came on. Clowns are frightening.

[@skyhighkyguy]

whoa... i always wondered why the "otherside" music video by red hot chili peppers freaked me the hell out, watching this i remembered watching this when i was like 3 years old and it scared the SHITE outta me, and the videos arent that different lol

[@djmocha7]

Puh-lease. Clowns never scared me... until I saw that doctor pull his mask down. (shudder)

[@0ejmusik0]

there's something very dark about this scene, darker than any of the horror movies they muster up today, maybe it's the music

[@_Majoras]

this seems a lot more tame than when i use to watch it. what happened.

[@AllThisThen]

This scene is so perfect.

[@eerieinhabitants]

omg danny elfman is such an awesome composer.. this song is pricless
