Name That Trauma:: Reader Mr. Brown on a Hand in a Meat Grinder

By unkle lancifer
I'm trying to figure out what movie from my childhood scarred me. Foggy memory, indeed. It was probably from the 70's and about the only scene I remember is a guy's hand gets put into a meat grinder. Did his arm fall in or was it forcibly pushed in? I don't know… I just remember the shot of the "meat" coming out of the grinder while the guy screamed. Possibly one of the "Omen" films? But I don't know.
At six years old, I assumed that cartoons were all for kids. Maybe that's why I was so shocked by what my father had fallen asleep in front of. I walked in on him watching THE WALL right at the start of the trial scene. Just the voices in that…
Hi, Let me nerd out for a second and say "thank you" for this site. Besides being a lifelong horror fan, it's also helped me remember some great memories that I had associated with some of these films. I'm trying to remember the name of a movie/show. I remember only…
Hey Folks! I got a bit of a weird one. When I was a very little kid in the 70's or early 80's I remember seeing the opening to a movie that really scared me. It was an animated title sequence that the closest thing I can think of is…
Count me in as a preferrer of EXTERMINATOR 2. But both flicks have their merits.
I was thinking it might be a Herschell Gordon Lewis flick, though…did the Gore Gore Girls have something like that? Or Blood Feast? They all kind of run together for me…

I too prefer part 2 over the original, the first one certainly has more of a serious tone but part 2 is probably the most fun, enjoyable action movie I've ever seen. It really feels like a video game, in fact I'm amazed there was never an Exterminator game for the Commodore 64 or one of the other systems from back in the day. Hell, I'd love to see an Exterminator game for PS3 or Xbox 360. Anyway I could go on and on about how much I love these movies and keep hoping one that one day we'll see an Exterminator game, I mean they did it with The Warriors to great effect right?

What! There is a Warriors game? How have I not heard of this?
Oh, and my meat grinding Kintertrauma was definitely the film for Pink Floyd's The Wall……

What? No one brings up "The Corpse Grinders?"
And now that I think of it, didn't "Undertaker and His Pals" have a hand or arm getting stuffed into a meat grinder? Or was it a leg?

Chuckles! — I have the same meat-grinding-The-Wall-inspired kindertrauma! … all of those people … just dropping into the giant grinder … and the pink ropes of meat that came pouring out like a Play Doh Fun Factory of Nightmarish Death. It didn't help that it was backed by the sound of a children's choir singing the theme song. Too much for these young eyes and ears.

Chuckles, there most certainly was and it was glorious! I'm not even that big a gamer but once in a while a game comes along that just absorbs me
Here's the intro, don't let the slightly dated graphics put you off, it really is an incredible game. It doesn't just go through the story from the movie either, it goes right into the history of the gang and each member and how they came to be in the warriors. Really expands on the fascinating world created in the movie and lets you explore it. Track it (and a PS2) down if you can. Worth every penny

Copy that on the Warriors game. I bought an Xbox just to be able to play that game.
Gee, I didn't realize there were so many films with a meat grinder scene! Here's another.
Psychic Killer (1975). The meat grinder scene is at 2:07 in this You Tube clip. Enjoy!

I seem to remember a scene like that from the 1980 movie The Exterminator. Hope that's right.
Good call Gillig! It's not quite his hand but somebody definitely gets the meat grinder treatment in THE EXTERMINATOR!
Does anyone else like The Exterminator 2 over 1 or is it just me? There's actual flame throwing going on, strippers and breakdancing!
I believe Child of Corn has a scene like that in the beginning when the kids are wiping out all the adults.
