That kid at the window from 1979's "Salem's Lot"

:eek:

Still makes me afraid to look out windows at night. I couldn't even watch the video I included :rofl: I found it, clicked on it, paused it right away and copied the URL.

Let's not forget this Hedonis bedwetting moment from 1979, either...

Two great actors in that clip, by the way.

Great, now how am I going to sleep...

Yes. Yes. God yes. That one scared me when I first saw it.

My spooky movie moment is The Shining. The whole scene in room 237 with the woman freaks me out. Mostly cause it's a old woman naked.

The Shining - two scenes:

[typed] "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"

"REDRUM" = "MURDER" (I didn't realise until I saw the reflection in the mirror, either)

The (original) Haunting - spooky from start to finish...

This thread just plain deserves a bump.

And a mention of the scene in 1959's "House on Haunted hill", where the young lady in the basement is waiting for her guy when she turns around and...

BAM! Blind old hag lady, with one of the scariest faces ever!

What about the twist at the end of Don't Look Now? That gremlin-woman's face still haunts my dreams.

The ending of Psycho - heck, most of Psycho, but the scene when Norman Bates looks at you, as his "mother" thinks:
They'll see and they'll know, and they'll say, "Why, she wouldn't even harm a fly..."



The original Texas Chainsaw and Leatherface...creeped me out first time I watched it.



The original Ringu - the ending with the TV....

 

[Violator79]

What about the part in The Exorcist when the girl's head's spinning around and she's talking with her head backwards?

There was a movie made on Showtime in 2000 called "Possessed" and it was based on the true story that inspired "The Exorcist." That whole movie is spooky but good.

The original Texas Chainsaw and Leatherface...creeped me out first time I watched it.

my favourite part is the one in the screenshot, when hes just dancing about in the middle of the road.

I heard they were remaking "The Birds" Which I can't say I agree with. I think the orinal should be left alone. Another scene that also still to thisd ay creeps me out is at the beginning of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" When you have the corpse sitting on top of a tombstone with dust blowing around it. That always sends a chill down my back. Damn they really dont make horror movies like they used to.

The winner: Donald Sutherland's scene at the end of Invasion Of The Body Snatchers :eek:

I hope that talk about remaking "The Birds" is just that...talk (if it ain't broke, etc)

Oddly enough, The Incredibles (currently on TV):
As Mr Incredible reviews Project KRONOS and the list of "terminated" superheroes used to improve the various stages of the Omnidroid.....


PS: and I love the background music (VERY James Bond)...

The end of The Lawnmower Man when every telephone in the world rings in unison,just eerie.I always laugh and "scary" movies,but for some reason that shit just kinda creeped me out.

Also,pretty much all of An American Werewolf In London.I was 6 when my dad took us to see that in the theaters.Scared the living shit out of me.

 

[L3ggy]

Anyone got a tip for a great horror movie, one that would scare the jesus out of jesus?

 

[hotslutsrgood]

most people thought saw was scary but i didnt thinks so.

but cabin fever scared the crapout of me

You know when you watch some movies and something spooky happens?..
I'm not talking about gore, or in-your-face scary... just small things which make your heart miss a beat..

two examples I can think of:

Poltergeist: The 'Chairs' scene.
Camera follows the woman, doing her chores in the kitchen etc.. camera moves from left to right and then back.. in those few seconds all the chairs in the dining room, have suddenly stacked up on top of the table.
Youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqLDYyZIlAU
I still can't figure out how they set-crew did it so quick.. I don't think there was any camera trickery involved and there's not so much as a sound, while it's being done.



second one is creepier still..

The Thing - 'Moving Corpse' scene
'The Thing' has been brought back to the US base and is on a table, covered by a blanket.
(Sorry.. I couldn't find a clip of this exact moment )
Two of the base-crew, are facing the camera, with the 'Thing' on the table, just out of focus, behind them.
Just as they finish talking , you see the blanket move slightly.. a few seconds later one of the guys turns around, gives a look at the blanket/thing and walks out of the room.

in the original the thing (1951) nobody dies (spoiler alert). it's all about suspense not childish gore

Great idea, tunsty! (and here's hoping the thread sticks to your original intent as much as possible!)

My votes:

I was visiting my cousin in rural N. Dakota when the movie Jeepers Creepers came out some years back. He lives way out, and it's nearly 40 mins. to the nearest theater, through some isolated farm country. Yes, I know Jeepers Creepers was supposed to take place in Florida (I think so, anyway), but the feeling can be transferred to about any flat, isolated area. Anyway, while I thought the movie overall was quite a stinker 2 or 3 of the scenes early on in the movie were quite effectively. Esp. the one towards the beginning, when after the kids were nearly run down by the creep in his scary-ass truck, and then on down the road they come upon his house, with his park trucked at the side, and he is tossing big, long things wrapped in white sheets down a large drain pipe that juts out of the ground at like a 45 degree angle. They slow down to take in what they can hardly believe they're seeing, and of course the creep-thing jumps back into his truck and pursues them. Maybe this isn't a "small thing" like tunsty's aiming for, but it sure was spooky (ok, I shat myself). The road, the way the house looked and the way it was situated in like a grove of trees, the pipe, the distance the scene was from the viewer - you knew something was f'd up, but it wasn't immediately clear WHAT you/they were seeing. Quite good (starts at about 1:00 in, if you're impatient):

Anyway, it made the ride home a bit creepy.

Also, the scene in Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original) when the 1st girl goes into the house to find her boyfriend and she comes into this room with the birdcage with the chicken in it, and furniture made of bones, and bones all over the floor. I found that scene deeply ominous and foreboding. Can't find a YouTube clip easily, sorry.

Lastly, here's a pretty creepy scene that I guess was cut out of The Exorcist:

And a slightly gorier version. No, blood doesn't automatically make something scary, sorry:

But Naomi Watts will be in it, that´s one reason to watch it for sure :lovecoupl

are you serious? ok, the first half way pretty creepy, but then it turned into an crazy spoof horror, it was just funny!


i cant really think of any films that are truely scary, possibly the shining? but its a bit out-dated.

 

[JustAGuy85]

Sphere There's a few moments in that film that make my spine tingle.

Running Scared The whole scene where Olie gets kidnapped by those freak parents with the van. The whole apartment they live in is creepy as shit. And what's with that alien figure in the bathroom when Olie is on the phone.

 

[Devout Pornist]

Amytiville Horror was scary for me
