Ceremony Scene from “Young Sherlock Holmes”

I had memories of this scene as a child, but it was only recently that I discovered the film it was from.
The material’s pretty dark, considering this was probably meant to be a kids movie, but what really stands out to me is the chant. Try listening to it just once, and see if it doesn’t get stuck in your head.

I saw this on tv when I was 11 and I couldnt sleep afterwards!!! This scene was petrifying for a PG, and the bits with the blow darts are also terrifying, specially the silent one in the church

I remember this movie. What is up with 80s kids movies involving creepy satanic cults? have you seen the movie Dragnet? Same kind of shit.

This movie “Young Sherlock Holmes and the pyramid of FEAR (1985) was great then as it is now I was fourteen when the film came out great special effects for it’s time it shows where the so-called great film series “HARRY POTTER” got it’s ideas at least this film was original unlike J.K. Rowling’s books/Harry Potter. Buttman

You guys are right, you know, this is pretty scary stuff; i know it scared me as a kid. But if you think this is scary, you should see some of the commercials that were recorded on my homemade vhs tape copy. I’m talking weird stuff right out of the 80s like special news reports of somebody wanting to build a theme park based off of the novel ‘Gone With The Wind.’ Now that’s freaky!

I just read on wikipedia that the knight formed from the stained glass window (which equally scared me!) was the first CGI character in a film. Cool…

I’m so glad that I wasn’t the only one who was absolutely terrified by this scene. Watching it now is giving me awful chills….

I remember being totally creeped out by the chanting.
It kept going through my head, even when I was trying to sleep

Yeah, I loved the song too. Its very similar to the “O Fortuna” movement in Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. Magnificent on a set of good speakers at high volume. I had the two confused for years. I would not be surprised if the movie music was inspired from the classic.

Likely boiling wax, oil, or some other type of embalming fluid. Of course, the scene is not showing an embalming, this is murder.
I agree, horrifying. I probably would have been better off not having seen it as a kid.

Ooh my gosh I LOVED this movie as a kid! I still do, it’s still one of my faves! And this was one of one of my fave scenes, thanks for posting!

Man I loved this song…I havn’t heard it in yeras…not sure what drove me to look it up all of a sudden, but I’m glad I did. Though for some reason I thought it was more upbeat, heh anyone else ever do that, have a song you loved as a kid, that sounds so different now?

Another example of one of the many times where the opening of Orff’s CARMINA BURANA was used as a temp-track and the composer asked to write something that sounded like it. In this case Broughton came up with a quite memorable solution, although the Orff references are still awkwardly foreground.
But this is the way Hollywood works, so I don’t blame Bruce. Generally speaking, this is one of the finest scores of the 80s and certainly in the top five of Broughton’s career.
