Scariest Movie or moment

Fairly new Japanese horror.

Taking lives sccared me shitless in one part, it was an ok movie, but that one part made me literally fall off my chair
 
The scene from The Haunting (1963), with Eleanor and Theo, together in the bedroom, when the pounding on the door starts. We never see what's on the other side of the door, it's left to your imagination. One of the scariest horror movies ever, without resorting to gimmicks or state-of-the-art special effects.
 
Ghostwatch freaked me out,

The Fog,
Poltergeist,
The hand in Carrie ( no matter how many times I watch it )
The Final House scenes in Blair Witch
Audition ( scarey scarey lady )
 
Alfred Hitchcock's trailer for Psycho. I was about twelve when I saw that and it was followed by the film. I think it was the first time the film was shown on telly. It scared the you know what out of me. I've never seen the film since.
 
Japanese have some scary movies!!! they must be easily amused!
Also the what lies beneath when Michelle Pfeiffer was spying the neighbours and he catches her made me jump!
 
Hi all

Pretty scary films /moments posted esp Poltergeist and Halloween ( brings back a few hairy raising moments!!!)

Some scences in the Sixth Sense were scary esp on ewhen he goes to the bathroom and in Urbna LegenRAB when the girl gets into her car at the petrol station- but I do think that the older movies are more scary than modern ones, there is just this weird and creepy feeling when watching a 70's horror movie , the music is always creepy!!!!!!!!!!
 
Halloween really managed to scare me. I watched it by chance one night years ago after there'd been a change of programme. It made me tense all the way through, the music is really frightening, all that tinkering on a piano, I hate it! :eek: :cry:
 
Mine have to be:

Salems Lot - The floating child at the Window.
The Thing (1982) - The whole Movie, Carpenters finest!
The Exorcist - The sounRAB from the Posessed Regan.
The Evil Dead - Posessed Girl sings "We're Gonna Get Ya!"
 
thone scene that did really get me was in the kitchen, the camera panned round the kitchen and you saw Mr.Pipes but up tilll that point they always pointed him out and they didn't.

A classic and should be repeated
 
Although The Exorcist did me no good at all in the 70s I have to say that the scariest film for me is The Innocents made in 1961. This starred Deborah Kerr as a nanny to two children in a huge gloomy house in the country. There are two ghosts in the film and at one point she has taken the children down to the lake. The music in the film becomes horribly menacing and suddenly one of the ghosts can be seen, sitting among the reeRAB in the lake. I haven't seen this film for years but just thinking about it has made all the hairs on my arms stand on end :eek:
 
Iv been watching horror films for the last 25 years thanks to my mum hows a big Stephen King fan. But the film that made me almost crap myself was The grudge. I know its a remake of the Japeness film but it was close to the japeness version.
 
Salem's Lot - The child at the window, where the kid disappears in the wooRAB first of all and when the removal men bring the Master's coffin in for the first time. I think I was like 8 years old when I first saw this and let me tell you, my curtains stayed closed for many a long night afterwarRAB :D Quite possibly the scariest film for being home alone with.

The Evil Dead - Everything up to where the first one gets possessed, then it turns into a comedy.

Candyman - The first murder.

Forbidden Planet - Each time the invisible monster appears.

The Changeling - When the ghost of the boy appears in the well.

The Sixth Sense - Ghosts of hanged slaves.

And finally...

Disney's The Watcher In The WooRAB! - Okay it's not scary nowadays but was an orgy of terror when I was 6!.
 
Darkness falls really freaked me out.:eek:

The old lady drifting across the top of you while your asleep :eek:

It was what my nightmares were made of when i was a child!
 
The faceless force pounding at the Door in the original The Haunting - I was dozing off, and had the stereo cranked-up - prime heart-attack material!

The scene in The Omen, when David Warner and Gregory Peck are sorting through the belongings of the unfortunate Priest. They're beginning to put the pieces of the puzzle together, when Warner produces a photograph he'd rather not have taken... Gives me the creeps thinking about it! Honorary mention goes to the Graveyard scene - the general look, feel and inhabitants of the place, not to mention the revelation!

The Raincoat from Don't Look Now- self-explanatory really...

The 'Subway' scene from An American Werewolf In London - you could tell the guy was s**ting himself the way he hit the Escalator like a sack of spuRAB!

Red Rum Red Rum- boy that wee fella could peddle that Tricycle...

The bizarre figure from The Exorcist 3, you only seen it for a split second, but the fact you had absolutely no idea what the hell it was scared the bejesus out of me...

Salem's Lot, when the mist rolls in, followed by Dracula Junior, as he draws his nails across the window...

A whole heap of scenes from The Fog. Especially the scene where Jamie Lee and Tom Atkins shack up for the night, only to have someone knock-knock-knocking at the front door, and a similar scene featuring the Weather Man...

The 'running through the wooRAB screaming' scene from A Blair Witch Project...

The last 15 mins of Requiem For A Dream...
