The creature in the fire- Ugh!!!


I'm talking about when they go to the Cave of many Faces to ask the oracle a question and he calls up some kind of creature out of the well who starts giving a big long speech. I mean, the creature was weird enough as it was, but then, in a couple of cuts, the creature became one, big, giant mouth with, like, gray teeth. That was unnerving.

Originally, that was suppose to be Orson Welles, but it ended up being played by Robert Shaw (one year before his most famous role as "Quint" in JAWS).

Yeah that Oracle is pretty spooky and when it starts shouting the mouth suddenly gets way bigger so you just see a mouth hole and creepy jagged teeth.

Death to all intruders is their whim in that sacred place hidden from the eyes of man... Go Now! Go Now! Go North...

The creature you're talking about WAS the Oracle played by Robert Shaw, I thought he did a good job and it made the scene great.
