In Cold Blood
Day: Sunday July 29 2001
Time: 1:15 a.m. EDT
Channel: Turner Classic Movies
Record number: 1056

Title: In Cold Blood (1967)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Brenda Currin, Ruth Storey

Description: They play the female half of a real-life Kansas farm family accosted in the middle of the night by robbers. First the daughter (Currin) and then the mother (Storey) are shown being hogtied in their beds in rather dark, closely cropped scenes (neither is gagged), after the father and son have been taken downstairs and tied up. Later one of the robbers comes into Currin's bedroom and begins fondling her as though he's planning to rape her; this film having been made when it was, the scene isn't very explicit. The sequence ends with powerful scenes of Currin reacting to the sound of the gunshots as the robbers do away with the other members of her family one by one, leaving her for last.

Record number: 3301

Title: Casper
Medium: Movie
Actress: Christina Ricci

Description: At around forty minutes in (with commercials), she is gagged by Casper ... literally.

He wraps himself around her mouth to prevent her screaming when she encounters him in the kitchen.

It does work as a gagged scene, at least for me.

Title: Sabrina, the Teenage Witch
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Beth Broderick, Caroline Rhea, Lindsay Sloane

Description: Episode: "Sabrina and the Pirates"

At around the 20' mark, Sabrina's aunts get tied to chairs by pirates, back to back, hands behind, and gagged with black duct tape. Later, they have their wrists tied overhead. (BTW who'd have thought that Beth Broderick, one of the aunts, starred in "Slammer Girls" and "Psycho Beach Party"???)

Bonus: at around the 10' mark, Sabrina briefly handgags her friend Valerie (Ms. Sloane).

@8:00pm CBC
Title: Dick Tracy (1990)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Glenne Headly

Description: As Tess Truehart, she's kidnapped by mistake midway through the film and winds up tied to a chair in a dark room, blindfolded and wrap-gagged. The film's climax has her tied lying on her back, ungagged, with her hands in front to a large horizontal gear under a drawbridge, positioned in such a way that her head will be crushed by the vertical gear it meshes with if Tracy doesn't rescue her in time.

@9:00pm FAM (Rogers ch 51)
Title: Nate and Hayes (1983)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Jenny Seagrove

Description: In a scene clearly inspired by King Kong, as well as the execution-by-burning scene in The Conqueror Worm, Seagrove's character is captured by island natives to be sacrificed. Wearing a long white period dress and ungagged, she is tied in a standing spreadeagle to a curved frame in the shape of two giant tusks, which is mounted on a long hinged pole atop a pyramid that will lower her into a fire built below and behind her. Lengthy scene highlighted by her beginning to recite the 23rd Psalm as the frame begins to descend, and some struggling.
