Frollo singing Hellfire Disney Hunchback of Notre Dame
What is full of flames and is one the best parts of any Disney movie? HELLFIRE!
I would say this scene isn’t like super SCARY but it is unsettling. First you have a rather creepy dude singing about wanting a woman whom he has a lot of hostile towards. Then you have the fire imagery and the specters that are featured at various points especially at the end, love the end.
One of the creepiest parts of Hellfire is where Frollo is running through the hooded faceless ghost that watch him in judgement. It’s very much like the Trial by Franz Kafka.
I could see this song scaring a few younger child and making adult uncomfortable.
I know this scene freaked me out big time as a little kid, but now I think it’s the most awesome thing that’s ever came out of a disney movie!
That seems about right ^^. I forget how I felt about Hellfire the first time I saw it. I don’t think it scared me but I thought he was just mad at Esmeralda. The lust part was lost on me at the time.
