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).

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.

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.

...Dracula (1931)

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

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
