I was far too old to be scared by this when I saw it, but my little brother wasn't. He was terrified of these guys. So naturally being the loving big brother that I was I would stick a feather duster around the corner to his room and say "hey! anyone got a spare head in here?" in my best fireys voice. He'd probably still scream if I did it today.
@@derekllewellyn6663 Trying to decode what you're saying and I'm lost in the translation. Sorry. The comment is in regard to green screen techniques.

That offset jawline and stare into the camera as he moves away at 1:56 is fucking awesome. These puppeteers really knew how to give the puppets personalities.
Because of this comment, I had to find exactly what you were talking about. I mean, I already love this scene and everything about this movie but still.. for research purposes I had to see what you were talking about. Yep, agreed. ❤
The part where the leader throws his eyeballs in the air and swallows them was a particularly difficult scene to film. The lead puppeteer Kevin Clash told Jim Henson it wouldn't work. Jim told him to keep doing that shot. According to Kevin, they finally did it at the 29th take.
Thats probably just very cool story. Watch closer - there are two cuts: one cut with the eyes thrown somewhere out of the frame and another cut, close-up with eyes falling out of the frame right into the mouth. 99.99% probability that cuts filmed separately.
My girlfriend, before we got together, showed me this movie. It was way different than what I was expecting, but this grew into a core memory between us. This is our fav scene. For my birthday, she made from scratch a Fiery, she’s really talented with art and creating things. She’s awesome and I’ll always thank her for introducing me to this masterpiece. It remains one of my favourites.
“Just strut your nasty stuff. Wiggle in the middle, yeah. Get the town talkin’, fire gang.” This line cracked us up as kids! Still my favorite scene to sing along to.
I'll admit when I was a young child watching this scene, it honestly scared me. These freaks are plucking their own eyeballs and eating them! In spite of everything else in the film, I found this part to be the most traumatic. Great movie though!
and i'm talking about both the fireys and the skeksis (dad actually had to turn off the Dark Crystal when we watched it when i was little, recently got to watch part of it and definitely liked it a lot better (labyrinth is still my favorite of the movies, Fraggle Rock is my favorite of those tv shows with the Jim Henson puppets))

I think the Fire Gang would trick people into dropping their guard by acting silly and fun, but then they tear you to pieces, which they burn. Then you become one of them, or even just spare pieces for them.
I was so terrified of this film as a kid, its so funny that david bowie became one of my favourite artists. I loved this song, i remember so vividly seeing it the first time at a friends house fascinated and terrified.

I love how at 2:30 they’re like trying to pull her head off and she’s trying to act scared but you can basically see that she’s surrounded by all these silly cuddly muppets and can’t stop laughing.
This - THIS is the best groove on the soundtrack. I know you’ve got Dance Magic Dance in this thing, but nothing tops the pure bop that is Chilly Down’s chorus.
I still wanna chilly down with the fire gang, especially now that I’m grown up and everything is so expensive. They can show me a good time and they don’t charge nothing. Just don’t want the bad food.
I seeing her big Tommy big before mine might be missing Miss her head hair over face might be there in she's was fat under her after all really I was laughing at her
Behold, a moment in time most iconic, and one of the most often remembered parts of the whole movie, despite the fact that it has very little to do with the plot.
I remember when we first got HBO in ‘87, I’ve watched this a thousand times. The older I got the scarier these dudes became. They have nothing to lose.
when I first watched the movie this was and still is one of my favorite scenes in the movie! 8 year old me danced and grooved when the fireys came out. 💃 🔥
1:54 The hand gesture when he says "show you a good time" is an absolute masterpiece of puppeteering. Their movements are magical. So much of this movie remains the best puppet work ever
I remember going to a screening of the movie in 2016. I enjoyed listening to the audiences reactions around me as if this was a new movie and they had never seen it before (some may have not or most likely don't remember every detail from it). I remember people around me going"Ewwww" when the leader pulled out his eyeballs.
Even as a kid I was just having too much fun with the singing and dancing to be scared by these guys. But now, 1:55 and the way he stares daggers into the camera and 3:10 where he chased her and said "Now we get to take your head off! HA HA HA!" are both unnerving.
I don’t think anyone will understand how happy these scene makes me I was obsessed with this as a kid. Show your children older movies like this I was raised by the best❤
It's weird seeing all the messages from everyone saying this scene terrified them, as a little kid when I watched this I just LOVED these guys Im pretty sure I had a weird crush on one of them 💀💀💀
It's one of my favorite childhood movies. I still will watch it today whenever I feel like watching it. I have it on DVD, so I'm good to watch it anytime.
@@shotingstar1978 Awesome! I have to get the DVD lol as I still have the VHS cassette...times are a changing but I refuse {mostly} to change with them hehehe.
This was one of my favorite movies growing up watching and this scene scared the living daylights out of my sister. Also fell in love at first glace at Jennifer Connelly!
Fun fact: The lead singer is Kevin Clash, best known as the puppeteer and voice of Elmo. He was offered to work on The Dark Crystal, but that would mean sacrificing two shows he was working on, Captain Kangaroo and The Great Space Coaster. He chose to stick to those 2 shows. After Captain Kangaroo and Great Space Coaster were cancelled, he was asked to come to London to do this movie.
This was the song that led me to this movie - it was in 2003 or so, and the lyrics to this song were on a Red Dwarf site (at least one of the actors for that show voiced a "Firey" in this movie.) so I checked out the song and loved it, and then checked out the movie and loved it. This has been my favorite moment of this excellent movie ever since.
That would be Danny John-Jules (a.k.a. The Cat) since he IS a professional singer (he's also one of the Da-doop singers in the movie version of Little Shop of Horrors.)
I loved this scene and the music as a kid. And as an adult I just woke up this morning with this song in my head so now I have an ear worm and I must play it to set it free lol!
I remember watching this as a kid. They were playing it as a treat in my school in honour of david bowies memory. It's been one of my favourites ever since ❤️
This movie is a classic! I grew up with Labyrinth, and 30+ years later, I still love it! It's right up there wirh Rocky Horror and Little Shop. David Bowie in this was the icing like Steve Martin as the dentist in Little Shop. Brilliant!
One of my oldest memories is watching this movie, I adored it and it never scared me. But I remember my mom warning me that I could in fact, not take out my own eyes.
Came here to see 2:27 because on prime video, those 2 seconds are blurred out and i watched this so long ago i couldnt remember what was so bad about it. Still scratching my head. Its just his head and legs?
When I was a kid I loved this movie but I swear I ALWAYS skipped this part. These "fireys" scared the hell out of me xD I'm not scared anymore, of course, but their appearance still kinda give me the chills tbh xD
i was six years old when i saw this movie, this scene was my favorite part. i used to always listen to this song and watch this video for two hours straight lmao. im now thirteen today. i still love this movie and this scene
@@Steppenwolf27 it was a response to your above message. I hate china with there communism and spying on us Americans and invading our airspace and giving us the China Virus I can't wait for the war. Revenge will be SWEEEET.
Whoever did this song is a genius. How they made the song sound like these creatures are fun and safe to be around with them dancing and having fun and then you hear those low tone piano keys and reveal that these creatures are dangerous.
I feel like if some producers gave the Jim Henson company the same amount of money most blockbuster superhero movies get now, they'd be able to make those felt fucks sentient. Not saying that'd be a bad thing. It'd just be fun to watch.
I was born in 1988 and my dad watched it before I was 4 of course. Big Bowies fans here. I had the worst Goblin nightmares as a child. But my fav movie to this day hands down!!! ❤
That was how I was introduced to this movie - there was a Red Dwarf site that focused on the music in the show, but there were sections for what songs the actors did outside Red Dwarf, so this was included. I ended up liking this song so much, I checked out the movie. :)

I'm not scared anymore, of course, but their appearance still kinda give me the chills tbh xD
My brother and I used to watch this as kids whenever it was on tv. I remember wanting the VHS so bad lol, but it was hard to come by.
i was six years old when i saw this movie, this scene was my favorite part. i used to always listen to this song and watch this video for two hours straight lmao. im now thirteen today. i still love this movie and this scene
I'm an EFL teacher in China. I plan to show this movie to my students. This is one of my favorite parts.
F chyna
@@KirksCORNER1983 Oooookaaaaay..... That wasn't strange or random at all.
@@Steppenwolf27 it was a response to your above message. I hate china with there communism and spying on us Americans and invading our airspace and giving us the China Virus I can't wait for the war. Revenge will be SWEEEET.
@@Steppenwolf27 your not supposed to be on the internet if your in China so your breaking the law.
@@KirksCORNER1983 It's "you're," not "your."
Am I the only ones that thought they were the most friendly out of everyone?
David Bowie as Jareth The Goblin King
Jennifer Connelly as Sarah Williams
I always loved the way they moved around
I taught my youngest brother who was 5 at the time that the chilly's weren't actually scary they just loved to have fun
This was literally my favorite scene from the entire movie, they seem like a fun gang to hang with!! Sadly I can't take off my head though 😅
How about an ear?
David Bowie, the myth, the man. Always with style and grace 😎
This is one of those scenes that don't scare me now, but I know for a fact that had I seen this as a kid I would've been terrified by it
This scared the mess out of me as a 6 year old. What were my parents thinking. It still haunts my corners of my mind. (Seems awesome now) lol
I was never scared of these guys, the tunnel full of hands was what got me as a child.
Yes, that was odd. Talking hands. Wtf???
I forgot about that. 😮
"Where Helping hands!" Up or Down.
I absolutely LOVED these guys since I first saw the movie as a young child
as a kid i loved this scene! as an adult i still do
I loved this as a kid
Definitely my favorite part of the entire movie when I was a child. I knew the lyrics by heart and would always sing along. 😅
Snake eyes!
Why am I just now realizing how terrifying this scene is even tho I've watched this everyday for the past 3 weeks
Whoever did this song is a genius. How they made the song sound like these creatures are fun and safe to be around with them dancing and having fun and then you hear those low tone piano keys and reveal that these creatures are dangerous.
truly, both a lirycal and visual masterpice.
In the sequel, I can picture Sarah and her daughter encountering these guys and bursting into the same song.
I feel like if some producers gave the Jim Henson company the same amount of money most blockbuster superhero movies get now, they'd be able to make those felt fucks sentient.
Not saying that'd be a bad thing. It'd just be fun to watch.
I was born in 1988 and my dad watched it before I was 4 of course. Big Bowies fans here. I had the worst Goblin nightmares as a child. But my fav movie to this day hands down!!! ❤
To think Danny-John Jules (Cat) and Charles Augins (Queeg) from Red Dwarf played two of their voices :D
Absolutely true, you get that vibe anyway! There's definitely a bit of Cat in there and definitely the bossiness of Queeg!
That was how I was introduced to this movie - there was a Red Dwarf site that focused on the music in the show, but there were sections for what songs the actors did outside Red Dwarf, so this was included.
I ended up liking this song so much, I checked out the movie. :)
Danny-John Jules was also Milton Wordsworth from a The Story Makers.
I love this movie
watched the movie for the first time after playing the map on the vr game walkabout mini golf, and this has been stuck in my head ever since
I'm shocked there have been no metal covers of this song. Unless anyone knows? Let me know. I've been looking lol
i'm not shocked . this wouldn't work as metal . but then again that's never stopped anyone from being delusional before
The closest I can think to covering this is Devin Townsend or T-Ride
