The Empty Beds — The Nazgûl Strike at Bree
Original Production Cel Setup
Featuring the Ringwraiths (Nazgûl)
From The Lord of the Rings
In this haunting sequence, the Nazgûl descend upon the hobbits' room at the inn in Bree - The Prancing Pony -  believing Frodo and his companions lie asleep within. Swords drawn, the Ringwraiths slash and stab the beds with murderous certainty—only to discover they have been deceived.
The scene is one of the film's most effective displays of suspense. The hobbits have narrowly escaped, while the audience witnesses just how relentless and deadly the servants of Sauron have become. The empty beds stand as silent evidence of a fortunate escape and a reminder that the hunt is closing in.
Bakshi heightens the terror through stark composition and dramatic color, reducing the Ringwraiths to dark, faceless forms moving through a crimson haze of danger and nightmare. The contrast between the violence of the attack and the absence of its intended victims creates a powerful visual moment—one defined by tension, mystery, and near disaster.
A memorable scene of pursuit and suspense, this image captures the moment when the Nazgûl realize their quarry has slipped away, and the chase across Middle-earth grows ever more desperate.
Collector Significance
  • Classic Nazgûl / Ringwraith scene
  • One of the most recognizable suspense sequences from the early journey
  • Directly tied to the hobbits' escape from Bree
  • Strong graphic imagery with striking red atmospheric effects
  • Represents a pivotal moment where Frodo narrowly avoids capture by the servants of Sauron
