Kid #2 made this observation (Bad Things Always Happen in Caves) tonight while we were watching the 13th Warrior.
She’d made this observation before so I decided to make a list of the ‘bad things’. Turns out, she’s right.
Golum lives in a cave – The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Captain Hook decided to drown Tiger Lily in a cave
All kinds of wrong happened in a cave in The Descent (in an awesomely creepy way)
Luke Skywalker was strung up in an ice cave (does this count as an actual cave?) in Empire Strikes Back. And wasn’t
Finding the ‘mother’ in the 13th Warrior
The Tsavo Lions (Ghost and the Darkness) had a scary cave – or den, depending on how technical you want to be here.
The Bone Collector
The alien hive- ship from Cowboys and Aliens
The aliens tunnel/cave thingie in Super 8
Even, Doofenschmirtz (of Phineas and Ferb) attempts to trap the kids in a cave with the self destruct button on one of his ‘Inators’ (Ballad of Bad Beard)
You get the picture. Caves = Bad Things.
Which is weird because I’m finishing the last few pages of Hades story (all anti-hero delectable bad boy goodness) and he LIVES in a cave. Okay, technically it’s the Underworld, but you have to go through a cave, making it part of where he lives … nevermind. All I’m saying is that caves can’t be all bad, right?
Any positive cave stories you can think of? Feel free to add to my Bad List. Let’s see how long this puppy gets
