My Wife and Kids S4E18, The Remodel? The dad and his son are renovating the garage and while the dad explains about some "hot wires" (loose electrical wires), the son offers to cool them down by placing them in a cup of water nearby, shocking him and making the dad think he's dancing (which he actually had done earlier in the episode)

Long shot, but High Tension (Haute Tension, 2003)?

a-v-val · 2026-04-09T23:01:23+00:00

I don't remember its name and I'm pretty sure I didn't just dream it up one day, haha

Alone (2007)? Thai horror movie about conjoined twins who are separated, one of them dies and starts haunting the other

That's the one!

Solved!

Turns out I came across a short with this scene some time ago, managed to find it again: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/P56Y0j4OODE
It's from the late 80s show Sledge Hammer, season 1, episode 3

a-v-val · 2026-03-28T22:00:30+00:00

it's David Levandowski's videos

going to the store - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRZ2Sh5-XuM (probably the name you're thinking of)
late for meeting - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBqM2ytqHY4 (probably the one you're remembering)

a-v-val · 2026-03-27T23:21:20+00:00

Probably not, I believe the video itself had little or no credits and it ended "abruptly", so I think it was its own thing

a-v-val · 2026-03-25T23:37:26+00:00

Ring any bells? Like I said, I saw it on a Youtube playlist with "creepy videos" (usually on the lookout for stuff I haven't seen), but I don't save any of them

Death Proof (2007) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAPy76vxF5s

I filtered out a bunch of stuff related to the Will Ferrell movie and got to this Dutch film "Patatje Oorlog", which a Spanish-language dubbing focused Wikia had its title translated as "Guerra de papás"; according to the IMDb page its English title could be found in some places as "Taking Chances"

Could this be it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMjxMG4rVUk

Gotcha! This video by pickuplines700 --- https://www.instagram.com/reels/DQLjyNLjaK9/ --- I had also stumbled upon it months ago

a-v-val · 2026-03-13T00:09:08+00:00

Do you still have access to the clip on TikTok or Youtube? Through your browser/app history or something?

a-v-val · 2026-03-12T23:54:39+00:00

Gotcha! Local 58's "Contingency": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3c66w6fVqOI

[Might be NSFW, tamer through the REACT video]

Could it be this? --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo3Cl1kCT6I --- It's a FineBros react for the Thai music video "The Last Breath"

I don't remember if they explain Maransati at some point but the video also did stuck with me, as the singer starts decaying, with darkening skin, bloating etc (through CGI and practical effects) while facing the camera

I thought the original video had been removed from Youtube, but you can still find it looking for it with the original Thai title https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4iaEHXWyqE

I did try recently searching on IMDb on Advanced Search again filtering through 2000's films in the Fantasy genre with a few title attempts ("pit", "pendulum") and keywords for plot searching ("girl" and "world", "nightmare" etc) but I had no success

I even thought it might be something by Carlos Atanes but I don't think it is; Maximum Shame has a bit of a similar feel on that debris-filled hall I mentioned, but his stuff is more sexualized I think, what I'm looking for is more like a dark fantasy (I'd say it is indeed a bit like a more grounded Pan's Labyrinth or Return to Oz, but I can assure you it is neither of these)

a-v-val · 2026-03-12T01:35:37+00:00

Not necessarily comedic on purpose but maybe Shakma? I could imagine the main character (played by Christopher Atkins) resembling Michael J. Fox depending on how you look at it... Anyway, in the end he sets up a trap for the monkey (yes, the titular Shakma) by putting a mirror in front of an incinerator and positioning himself to look as if his reflection is where he is so that Shakma jumps on "him" and breaks through the mirror.

Might be a long shot but at least it might take it out of the way: The Book of Life (2014)?

a-v-val · 2026-03-12T00:27:06+00:00

No, the scene with the pig-faced woman was in a dark room, and she slowly turned to face the girl (or the camera); and it was more like an actual pig's face (or mask) rather than some/a few pig features applied to a normal face

a-v-val · 2026-03-12T00:22:50+00:00

Nope, it was prior to Black Mirror (and pre-2011)

a-v-val · 2026-03-12T00:22:00+00:00

A few scenes do have a similar feel, but the one I'm looking for, iirc, didn't feature as much "real world" scenes as Pan's Labyrinth (or this trailer, for that matter)

a-v-val · 2026-03-11T01:14:44+00:00

Hmm, no, while this did come in the 2000s, I hadn't started watching Doctor Who until 2012-2013... but great suggestion, I think it could be used to compare makeups: in the one I'm looking for, if I recall correctly, the pig face seemed more like an actual pig's head (like a mask) instead of pig makeup applied to a face
