The NeverEnding Story (1984)
The Mirror: After battling his way through all sorts of challenges and horrors, The NeverEnding Story ’s Atreyu (Noah Hathaway) has to face the most difficult challenge of all: the Magic Mirr🥃or Gate. Sounds easy, but the gate shows the viewe꧒r their true selves, a sight most people find hard to face.
On Reflection: It must really suck findin🌠g out that you’re a fictional character.
The Cabin In The Woods (2012)
The Mirror: Like everything in The Cabin In The Woods , this mirr🔯or is more than it seems: it’s a two-way mirror, suggesting that whatever goes on in that bedroom, it’s desಌigned to be watched.
On Reflection: The mirror didn’t end up playing that much of a role in the pl📖ot, but it was a clue the kids maybe should’ve heeded.
Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone (2001)
The Mirror: The Mirror Of Erised shows you your heart’s desire. Which sounds relatively benign, but it’s dangerous, too; what you can see in the mirror isn’t real, jus💦t a reflection, which means anyone who looks into it is just torturing themselves with what they can’t have. Heavy stuff for a kids’ film.
On Reflection: D𒊎oes anyone believe Dumbledore about the socks? No, thought not.
Night Of The Demons (1988)
The Mirror: A dusty old mirror in an abandoned mortuary smashes and releases its demons when a bunch of kids decide to throw a party on Halloweenℱ night.
On Reflection: Seven years of bad luck probably would’ve been easier to🍒 cope with than the fallout from this⛎ broken mirror.
Ju-on: The Grudge (2002)
The Mirror: Hanging in the hallway of the Saeki house is a mirror – ideally placed for checking your hair on your way out of the door, or for playing peek-a-boo with a ghost who’s probably just pl🐓aying for time while she crawls down the stairs to kill you.
On Reflection: If you🌠 see something weird in the mirror of a haunted house, it’s probably best not to stop and stare.
Return To Oz (1985)
The Mirror: In the palace of Princess Mombi (Jean Marsh) is an ornate mirror with a s🧜ecret: it’s where Ozma (Emma Ridley), the true ruler of 𓆏Oz, has been magically imprisoned.
On Reflection: 🍎 There are probably better places to hide inconvenient heirs to the throne than🐠 mirrors, aren’t there?
Mirrors (2008)
The Mirror: As the title implies, this isn’t just about one mirror: it’s a✨ll mirrors. And all other reflective surfaces, too. Basically, there’s a demon, and it makes people&rsq𒁃uo;s reflections kill them, somehow. It doesn’t make any sense, but there’s a scary idea in there somewhere.
On Reflection: … No, this just doesn’♒t🗹 make any sense.
Evil Dead II (1987)
The Mirror: Mirrors in remote cabins are always bad news: when Ash peers into this one, his𒁃 reflection taunts him about his sanity, and then reaches out to attack him. Not the best look.
On Reflection: Mirrors can be cruel.
A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010)
The Mirror: Freddy Krueger appears in mirrors a few times in the Nightmare On Elm Street franchise, but his appearance at the end of the 2010 remake is probably the scariest time, 🤡as he pops up to grab Nancy’s mum (Conni๊e Britton).
On Reflection: If you had a face like Freddy, you’d probably want to smash some mirrors tꦰoo.
The Legacy (1979)
The Mirror: The Ravenhurst mansion🤪’s full𒐪 of nasty surprises – like a Satanic cult, for starters – but the exploding mirror, which even manages to reform itself after killing a visitor, is one of the nastiest.
On Reflection: At least it cleaned up after itself?
