what scenes in horror movies really freaked you out?

[calpoon]

no horror movies are ever scary, because I just can't suspend by disbelief enough to forget that what I'm seeing is not real or has any impact on me personally. If you've ever experienced terror, i'm sure most people have, then you know what it feels like. the only horror movie that really creeped me out was the sixth sense.

I know a lot of people hate that movie, but I don't know.. something about it just got to me when i saw it the first time. I was never really scared, but I had a hard time sleeping that night cuz I was starting to think I was seeing dead people everywhere.

also, not a horror movie, but Irreversible really made my stomach do a few loops. I didn't feel the same way about salo, that just made me sad.

Well... horror movies.... One of my favorite things.

One of the scenes that has consistently freaked me out, no matter how old I get or how many horror movies I watch/write/make, is that damn scene where the one kid comes to the other kid's window in the original "Salem's Lot".

I can remember damn near peeing in my room in terror because I didn't want to leave my room in the night to go to the bathroom because of that scene.

Yeah tha Salems Lot scene was really scary, especially when your 10 or 11 like i was when i saw it.
There was actaully 2 scenes like that in the movie, one with one brother and the other with both brother.
I'm going way back but there was an Abbott & Costello movie " The Time of Their Lives (1946)"
where they were ghosts from the Revolutionary War. There was a sceance scene that freaked me out in that movie.

The final moments of Blair Witch Project.

It's not that scary in itself, it's more what you don't see is scary.

What did the "witch" do to persuade the guy to just stand there motionless? Creeps me out.

Also, the fact you never see the monster. Horror movies usually get ruined after the bad guy is revealed.

I beg to differ. Blair Witch Project was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. In fact, it's only preceded by Napoleon Dynamite and Dragon Wars as the worst movie I've ever seen. That said, I didn't think any of it was scary. I agree that horror movies tend to be ruined when the bad guy is revealed, but this one had no need to reveal a bad guy to be ruined. Hell, with all the camera movement, I thought I was gonna puke at least 3 times during the movie. When the credits rolled I wasn't the only person in the theater wondering why I'd actually paid money to see that movie.

The whole clip is worth watching for buffs. If you're impatient though, slide the slider to 6:10 let go and watch in horror.

About 10 years ago..(seems like fucking yesterday) I come home one night, it's maybe 1 am or so and I turn on the tv before I grab a late night snack just to make sure some part of the world didn't blow up while I was out fucking off.

I look and see the movie "Night of the Living Dead" is on (the original '68). So being the fan of the movie and genre that I am, I plop my ass down to settle in for probably the billionth time of watching this movie.

The mood is set; sandwich finished, scotch in hand while I sit watching this horror classic with the lights dimmed.

Now the movie ends the way it's ended a billion or so other times I've seen the movie...BUT it doesn't end this time.:surprise:

The movie carries over to another scene I've NEVER seen before and there's some doctor, a priest and reporter in this hospital office. And the priest is proclaiming to the reporter the zombies were demons from hell and they need to be crucified and the reason he survived and wasn't converted was because he was one of God's chosen, etc., etc., etc. The reporter runs out of the room and ol' 'Mega's sitting there wondering WHATTTTTTTTTT-THEEEEEEEEEE-FUCKKKKKKKKKK:shocked::error::error::error:??!!???

I thought my tv was possessed or something.:dunno: I most definitely poured out the glass of 18 year old Glenfiddich I was sipping and turned the tv OFF!!!

I honestly didn't know what to think as I sat there. So beset with confusion over this I searched to figure out :wtf: the next day and found there was a 30th Anniversary Edition which added to the original.:o

I later found out because of the religious suggestion the addition was pretty controversial. There was certainly a controversy in my tv room that night. Go figure.:dunno:

The scene in Martyrs when Anna takes the bolts out of the hostages skull made me queasy.

At the beginning of Dawn of the Dead when the girl is driving and she sees the zombies ripping someone apart in the back window of a city bus.

 

[~~whimsy~~]

As a young child when I first watched Child's Play. It made me scared of the name Chucky and things such as dolls, dummies, and the like coming alive and so small they can hide under couches and be able to move quickly in and out of rooms. Leaving you wondering where they ended up and if you should move.

 

[hypnogajafan]

The scene in A Nightmare on Elm Street when glen get pulled into the bed and all that blood shot up.

The scene in City of the Living Dead when the girl puked up all her guts.

The scene in The Ring when they show the first victim's face.

 

[PirateKing]

The scene in The Fly where Jeff Goldblum is putting all his old body parts in his medicine cabinet. Kinda made me chuckle too.

Same for Devil's Rejects when the guy busts in the authentic human mask.

 

[Petra]

Stupidly enough, it wasn't exactly a horror film that freaked me out. It was Ghostbusters. I was 6 or 7 and never made it past the scene in the library. I still can remember running to my room screaming...

 

[StanScratch]

Movies very rarely freak me out, but the scene where the little girl crawled out of the TV in The Ring (US version) stuck with me.
Then there was the soup scene in Dead Alive...

Oh you mean this one? :elaugh:

At 15 I got in to see The Exorcist not long before it got banned. The scene where the girls head turns right around really freaked me out, although, now it seems fucking hilarious.

 

[Hot Mega]

The scene in "Hannibal" where Anthony Hopkins removes Ray Liotta's cranial cap, slices off parts of his brain and starts sauteing it.

I was sitting in the theater with a then g/f and EVERYBODY in the theater reacted out loud to it.

I'm rarely shocked at some of the shit movie creators think up for some of their movies but that scene truly left me wondering how does someone even come up with that one?

Usually spoilers don't ruin a good scene or movie for me but I think if someone told me about it then I saw it..the scene wouldn't have had the same effect as it was just as unimaginable as it was disturbing.

 

[Master Roshi]

the scene from Pet Cemetery where the mother dreams about the past and her dead sister dying upstairs in the attic

 

[Ulysses31]

Probably this from Hostel



Weird thing is a can't sit through a horror film (the suspense kills me) yet I have no problem with gore whatsoever. I'd like to be able to watch more horror films as the topics often interest me but I'll probably give myself a heart attack in the process.
