STAR TREK II: The WRATH of KHAN "Ceti Eel Attack" Storyboards

Check out the "Ceti Eel Sequence" from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982).

One of the most memorable scenes in Wrath of Khan was the scene where Khan Noonien Singh (Ricardo Montalbán) puts a Ceti Eel in the ear of Captain Clark Terrell (Paul Winfield) and Commander Pavel Chekov (Walter Koenig). Those slimy things terrfied me. I'm not alone. The sequence was cut short after it's theatrical release because it was considered too intense. It was later restored on home video special editions.

All the images are from the behind-the-scenes material on the home video releases. The quality of the first three images are poor, since they're from the August 2002 Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition, but the rest are HD from the Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Blu-Ray.
