Help! Decapitated head/other revealed under dome cover of serving tray
Someone was trying to describe being served a covered dish where the waiter lifted off a silver domed cover to reveal what was underneath, like 'voila!' and she said, "like what you see in horror movies with a head underneath" and we all knew what she meant, but I can't seem to FIND any of those movies.
There's a lot of decapitated heads, but wherefore are these movies that make them so iconic for 'the cloche' (the cover, sometimes silver but also sometimes glass and bell-shaped under which, yes, I can think of numerous references like "They Saved Hitler's Brain"...)
...but I'm looking for the serving of a covered plate, platter, at a dinner table, feast, etc that reveals a head (or other horrific object).
Is this just a John the Baptist/Head on a Platter thing and we're all projecting it as a horror movie trope? Or can anyone think of such horror movies.
Thanks for your help!
