Nothing more needs to be said. All that is needed is to show these iconic images from these fifteen horror films to identify these films.

Anymore?

Leatherface spinning around in the road with the chainsaw above his head at the end of TCM

Jack Nicholson's head through the door going "Heeeere's Jonny" in The Shining

Godzilla- Godzilla destroying Tokyo

The Creep dumping that body down the shaft behind the old church in JEEPERS CREEPERS!

Freddy Krueger - Any moment really, he pretty much just IS iconic.

By the way - can King Kong really be considered a horror? It's really more of an action advnture type film.

If I had to pick a specific Freddy picture, I'd go with the glove coming out of the bathwater.  Wouldn't you?

I'd say yes for King Kong.  He smushed/ate a bunch of people.

I'll throw in Chucky with either the voodoo knife in his hand or Tiffany by his side.

Jason with hockey mask on his face and a machete in his hand.

Michael Berryman just posing with a crazed look on his face and dressed in human skin clothing, for Hills Have Eyes.

Any image of Michael with the mask, jumpsuit and kitchen knife for the Halloween movies.

Torgo with his staff and satyr legs for Manos.  Or maybe the Master raising his arms, but Torgo really makes the movie the cult phenom that it is.

Sigourney Weaver in undies for Aliens. Funny, because it is not really a horror image (unless you really dislike Mrs. Weaver).

The reverse bear-trap in Saw

The Brain cooking scene in Hannibal

Hannibal Lecter's escape in the Silence of the Lambs

The crying in front of the camera scene in The Blair Witch Project

The bee kiss scene in Candyman

The spinning torture device in Hellraiser

The first scene of Scream where Drew barrymore's character is killed

Dawn of the Dead- Roger's face after he pulls the covers down after going zombie. 

Shaun of the Dead- Shaun with the cricket bat and the red stain on his pocket.

Deep Red- The doll...

Saw- Also the doll... (inspired by Deep Red, if I'm not mistaken)

Xtro- The birthing scene.

Zombi 2- Splinter, anyone? 

Sleepaway Camp- Wiener, anyone?

Poltergeist- The clown attacking Robbie.

I'd go with the scene where he drags the person onto the ceiling and kills them.

-When Clarice first meets Hannible Lector - Silence of the Lambs

-The chestbuster scene - Alien

-the clown in the sewers - Stephen King's It

-The shower scene - Psycho

-The first time Audrey II says "Feed me"

-Jason comes out of the lake - The first Friday the 13th

-"Sloth" is still alive - Seven

-Ash arms himself - Evil Dead II

-Dracula decending the staircase - the original Bela Lugosi Dracula

-The Invisible man unwraps his bandages to reveal nothing there - The original Invisible Man

- the Hunchback tormenting Frankenstein's monster with the torch - the original Frankenstein

-meeting the Twins - The Shining

-The eye scene - Zombi 2

-"they're coming to get you Barbara" - Night of the Living Dead

-Alfred Hitchock stepping into his silhouette and saying "good evening"

For Freddy, I'd pick the scene where he turns the guy into a marionette with his veins.  :buggedout:

Psycho, the falling backwards down the stairs knife scene...sometimes almost sets off my own vertigo.

Psycho, the big reveal as to "Mother".

The Wolf Man transformation sequence and him creeping through the fog

Renfield laughing maniacally in the hold of the ship

The scream in Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

The UFO landing scene in INvaders From Mars.

The Invaders From Mars drilling holes into the back of people's necks.

Nosferatu rising from his casket

Godzilla tearing down the power lines

The playground scene in The Birds

Some have already brought up Silence of the Lambs, but to me, the iconic moment that immediately identifies the film is the shot of "I ate his liver, with some fava beans, and a nice Chianti" followed by the savoring slurping sound. That's the iconic moment.

In the Bride of Frankenstein, when the bride "hisses" at the creature.

Eh... I don't think you see that in DRACULA (1931)... but you do in ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN...

The X-Files- Opening credits

Alien 3- When the xenomorph puts it's jaws near Ripley's cheek

Predator- Schwarzenegger covering himself with mud, and when he tells the alien that it's an ugly mutherf**ker

A few not mentioned...
. Lon Chaney being unmasked by Mary Philben in the PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (1925).
.The CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (1955) swimming under Julie Adams.
.The steel masked vampire clawing from the grave in BLACK SUNDAY (1960).
.Karloff howling with greif as he cradles a dead Lugosi in the SON OF FRANKENSTEIN (1939).
.the FREAKS (1932) crawling through the mud to enact their revenge.

The "one of us, one of us" scene in Freaks

The blob oozing out of the movie theatre in The Blob (the original one, of course).

I got a bunch of them!

The graves bursting through the pool ground in Poltergiest.

The car rumbling as the T-Rex approachs in Jurassic Park.

The wails of the giant ants during the desert storm and first appearance of them in Them!

The thing smashing through the door into the dark room where everybody is waiting for it in The Thing from Another World.

The lady smashing the guy's feet in Misery.

The zombies emerging from the water in Land of the Dead.

Robot Bobbie going haywire in The Stepford Wives.

The pool scene in Cat People.

The girl walks out of the TV in The Ring.

Mike Myers sits up after being stabbed in Halloween.

Wormface in Squirm.
The shaving zombie in Day Of The Dead.
Henrietta in the basement, pushing at the cellar trap door in Evil Dead II.
Michael stabbing the nurse from behind in Halloween II.

"Nosferatu" (1922)
The vampire's shadow cast on the wall as he opens the door.

"The Thing" (1982)
The shot of the frozen Norwegian who committed suicide at the radio.

"Night of the Demon" (1957)
The title creature's visage as it swoops down the train tracks toward its final victim.




The Bride hissing is a moment I never would have thought of, but it's perfect.  The steel masks of those damned in "Black Sunday" are another great one.  If you've ever seen the movie, those masks stick with you.

A few more that stuck with me-

.The dinner table scene in the 1974 TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE.
.The skeleton warroirs vs. Jason in JASON AND the ARGONAUTS. (ok...mebbe not a 'horror' film per se-but those skeletons were scary!)
.agin-not quite a horror film-but the Cyclops roasting a poor shmuck on a spit in the GOLDEN VOYAGE of SINBAD.
.Julian West dream of being buried alive in VAMPYRE (1932).
.Christopher Lee baring fangs in the HORROR OF DRACULA (1958)

YIKES!

Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1978)

So many good horror films. So many memorable images. Anymore?

As to whether "King Kong" is a horror film or not, some say it is. Some say it is not. But I have seen it listed in lists of horror films.

And thanks for correction Allhallowsday. I wondered about that. But I associated Lugosi, as Dracula, turning into a bat, that I had it down as one of my most memorable images, even if I got it in the wrong film.

Carol Anne up against the tv set.

King Kong is a monster movie.  If monster movies aren't horror movies, they'e at least invited to the same parties. 


And more pictures...

The zombie with half its face burned off from the original "Dawn of the Dead" and the creature from "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" carrying the woman into the water (haven't seen it myself, so that should tell you just how iconic that particular scene is).

Having some selfesteem issues there, Trevor  ? :twirl:

Nahh, always had them.  :wink:
