Creepy nuns


Was this scene in this film?
I'm trying to track down where I saw it when I was a kid.

I remember the hallway was brightly lit and 2 super tall nuns in old fashioned cowls float by from right to left and they have small heads, faces obscured by darkness and glowing eyes.

Did this happen in High Spirits?

I remember that scene from seeing this back when I was six in either 1989 or 1990 when those frightening nuns shoved two of the characters - the ones played by Jennifer Tilly and Peter Gallagher, I think - out the windows, landing into the courtyard pond. And later tourists' kids are watching on TV this workout show that one of them throws an object at, but instead of it shattering the tube, the object somehow managed to break a fourth wall and wind up in the show instead, causing all sorts of havoc, ending with the lady telling them, "You stupid, stupid children!". XD

There were creepy nuns in this movie, but I think you may be thinking of 'Death Becomes Her' when Ernest goes to the morge in the hospital to see Madeline after she dies.

I don't think it was Death Becomes Her.
The memory I'm referring to is definitely something I saw when I was a kid in the 80's on one of my old VHS tapes and I did have High Spirits.
Death Becomes Her was much later.

It wasn't Death Becomes Her, it was definitely High Spitits. There was no such scene in DBH! Man those nuns cared the 5hite outta me when I was a child!

Just watched Death Becomes Her and there is a trio of gliding nuns...but they're not the right nuns.
Just watched the part in High Spirits with the nuns in the Priest's room.
Still a little creepy actually!
Thanks for the tip, guys.
I'm glad I got to watch it again after it scared me so badly as a kid!

ALL nuns are creepy, if seen in the proper light.....

"They sucked his brains out!"

I was on a thread about 'the floating nuns' on 'Death Becomes Her' board. Someone suggested there were a couple of floating nuns in 'Ghost' (1990) too. That might be worth checking up on. As I'm fairly sure the nuns in 'Death Becomes Her' don't have glowing eyes.
