8. Mrs. Johnson in 1995. What a heartbreaking character and man did CLARICE deliver. She makes me cry and she deserved an Emmy as well.
One of my big ones (sorry if I posted this here, eyes, can't scan through whole thread) is Nancy Barrett in 1995 [spoiler]pleading with Mrs. Johnson at the tree not to be dead. Something like that I can have not seen for a year, but it gets me just thinking back on it.[/spoiler]
The original biting of Barnabas in 1795. I know for a fact that I've gone on at length about that one, somewhere, multiple times... that's the pivotal DS moment, it's the whole story concentrated into one scene. Despite the rubber bat, the acting saves it. It's as if all his innocence is being violently ripped out of him, and it is absolutely not his fault. I've seldom been so angry and outraged at a fictional character as I was along with Barnabas, [spoiler]at Angelique, leading up to the gunshot. That gunshot made it all visceral and real, too, when we're used to more fanciful supernatural attacks. I may have come uncomfortably close to that feeling of absolutely needing to shoot someone dead.[/spoiler]
With Joe after [spoiler]seeing the transformation, it's just a series of emotional moments and scenes, especially the extended dream where he relives it all, then sees Tom and Chris attacking from both sides.[/spoiler]
