I was watching Mr. Sardonicus on svengoolie and I think the scariest scene in it was when the guy was singing in the bathtub....
In THE RING, when Samarra comes crawling out of the TV . . .
Or in MIRRORS, when Amy Smart is looking in the mirror, getting ready for her bath, and turns to walk away - and her reflection stays there, then slowly turns its head to watch her . . .
In JEEPERS CREEPERS, when they pass the Creep dumping bodies down the shaft by the abandoned church and he suddenly looks up and stares straight after them . . .
The dinner table scene in the TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE.
Let's face it, the head rolling into view under the boat in Jaws tops 'em all.

A scene from the HAUNTING (1963) when the guests are in the sitting room, and the house goes nuts. Scares the s**t out of me every time.
The Audition (1999) where the woman drugs the man and gives him an extra vigorous pedicure.

One scene in House by the Cemetery always gets me.
The kid is behind a locked door with the monster, so the parents try chopping down the door with the axe. After the first couple of hits, the monster holds the kid up against the door.
The acid during the surgery scene in Alien really freaked me out as a kid.
the scene in repulsion in the hallway, with the hands... shudder...
+1 for that JAWS scene. the ultimate jump scare
the puppet/marionette thing scene in DEEP RED
the babysitter hanging scene in THE OMEN
also the shower scene in PSYCHO still disturbs
edit - didn't see that's what you posted AHD. youtube previews don't show for me for some reason. I have to click the link instead
Speaking of jaws, I still gotta wonder how the shark bit that guys head off and left it in the boat, also how it bit out one eye.

Weird, they show perfectly fine for me?
The hanging scene in Jannie Totsiens: still un-nerves me after all these years. :buggedout:

That is hilarious. :bouncegiggle:
The scene from Alien when the crew are looking for the little version after it burst out of Kane. Brett is looking around some empty storage room and you can see the shadow of the alien silently dropping down behind him.

(if that's what you meant)
I agree with that scene in Jaws with a few others not far behind, all from prior to them setting out to catch the shark.
Let's not forget Alan Arkin in 'Wait Until Dark', a good surprise.
I used to think the closing shot of The Omen was incredibly sinister. Then I found out the kid was actually trying not to crack up laughing and they'd to cut the scene at that point as a second later he busted up.
Oddly enough the most horrific scenes in some horror movies aren't shown.
In the blob the most horrific scenes aren't on camera. The cops we're talking about a bar that was empty, the cash register open, the TV on, but no one was in it. We know what happened to the people in the bar but only imagine it.
Likewise the scene in the theater must have been horrific, how many people were consumed in it? I'm surprised so many got out. Maybe it landed on several people and had to stop to digest them, but it still means multiple people were eaten.
Sometimes the real horror is implied, not seen.

thank you! now, explain an image gif, please, i am VERY stupid with some computer terms.TIA!
Does "Silence of the Lambs" count as horror? If so.. the end when Hannibal just walks out into the crowd still terrifies me.

The scene with the woman in the bathtub haunted me for many years. I was a kid when I watched that movie and that particular image really disturbed me. It wasn't until I rewatched the whole thing again many years after that I found it extremely boring. It's not a bad movie, just very slow paced. Waaaay too slow.

Why does everything have to be blowing up? :question:
So CGI F/X and action make a good movie? Are you that shallow?
I thought the SHINING, which i saw in a theater in Kalamazoo, was scary as f**k.
I went with my buddy Nick and his sister Daphne and my cousin Tina. Tina f**king freaked out when Jack hit Scatman with the axe! She ran up the aisle into the popcorn room!
Ah. Good times. :smile:
this is one of my favorite scenes-

Not at all. In fact, I
usually loathe CGI - practical effects, those I love, although I don't really need them to enjoy a movie, they just add to it. But
THE SHINING has too many scenes where basically nothing happens, and drags too long. You don't need extremely tedious scenes to prove a point of unease. I mean, it goes for 2:26 hours to tell the story of a guy who loses his mind in a haunted hotel... why?
Again, I don't think it's a bad movie and and do enjoy it to some degree, especially the performance of Jack Nicholson, it's just that I have to be in the right mood to watch it. For some reason one of my favorite scenes is when he put his wallet away after hitting it a couple of times against the table. I like that reaction so much that I sometimes do it in real life, to ensure the stuff is well pocketed in there. :tongueout:
As far as Stephen King adaptations, I prefer
1408 and particularly
MISERY, which nailed the tension perfectly. I believe the original
IT suffers from the same problem than
THE SHINING. Too much blabla, not enough suspense nor creepyness.
I will agree on the original IT- but that was a very long TV movie.
The scene in Lair of the White Worm with . . .
the underage boy scout (Chris Pitt) standing by the side of the road trying to thumb a ride in the rain.
Gutwrenching, because I knew what was going going to happen to him.
The film's villainess would pick him up,
taken him to her house, where . . .
she'd sexually assault him and . . .
then kill him.
I only missed how she was going to kill him by drowning him in the tub, while giving him a sponge bath.
As a kid, it was the pilot scene in Kingdom of the Spiders. The utter hopelessness of the situation traumatized me for some time.
An honourable mention goes to the window scene in The Car. I was staying over at a friend's place, and we were watching it with our backs to a big window.
