Scariest Scene in any movie you've seen?

[SchizoPhobic]

Like the title says, what's the scariest part of any movie you've seen, and why.

DISCUSS!

[benfan]

The scene in The Changeling when the woman gets chased down the stairs by the dead kids wheelchair. Cause i saw it when i was young and it ****kkked me up!

[Spaceman Spiff]

The old people at the end of Mulholland Drive. Scary as ****.

[Jawaharal]

the scene in audition where she is just staring at the phone.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7CQvmNF8l0&feature=related

[Squirrel]

the corridor scene in the exorcist 3 made me jump

havent seen it in years though, so maybe i was just young at the time

[Sleeper]

This scene isn't necessarily scary, but it makes me cringe. The part in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre when the they cut the girl's finger at the dinner table, and the half dead grampa starts licking/sucking her finger. Pretty gross.

[Against Miik!]

Yeah I guess I've seen some things that make me cringe because they are disgusting, but I've honestly never seen a movie that I thought was legitimately terrifying.

[iarescientists]

The old people at the end of Mulholland Drive. Scary as ****.

after watching this movie and mulling over the ending and finally realizing what the movie was all about i **** my pants

[thedeadwalk!]

I don't remember half the things about Mulholland Drive people talk about.

[iarescientists]

oh yeah remember the singing

whenever david lynch puts singing in his movies i have to **** my heart out in fear that he'll break it

[Tillius]

Pretty much anything in Eraserhead.

[thedeadwalk!]

Ok! I don't remember anything about Mulholland Drive except the lesbian scene.

[honourosis]

maybe you just didn't get it

[Spaceman Spiff]

Pretty much anything in Eraserhead.

I didn't find it scary, just terribly uncomfortable and strange.

[Tillius]

Still ranks higher than anything else I can think of.
There's also the opening scene to Scream.
And The Strangers creeped me out but that's because I was *** tired seeing it. I haven't seen it a second time to be able to see if it has the same effect.

[thedeadwalk!]

maybe you just didn't get it
I can safely say there's no maybe about it. And I don't want to either. It's just not interesting enough.

[iarescientists]

I didn't find it scary, just terribly uncomfortable and strange.

idk i find that scarier than any cheap gag in any horror movie

[honourosis]

I can safely say there's no maybe about it. And I don't want to either. It's just not interesting enough.

but but you're supposed to get it D;

[RetiredAt21]

the scene in audition where she is just staring at the phone.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7CQvmNF8l0&feature=related

Whole movie was ****ed up. Chick was so hot, though.

[Spaceman Spiff]

idk i find that scarier than any cheap gag in any horror movie

I just don't think scary is the right word to describe it. Yes, it's scarier than cheap gags used to scare people or make them jump, but I didn't think it was actually a scary movie.

[Strum]

Go easy on me because i'm older than you guys so some films you find funny scared the crap out of me


Nightmare on elm street 2 when freddy says "you got the body and I got the brains"

Event Horrizon when Sam Neil is trying to fix some circuit board in a small shaft and it flashes to that chick with no eyes

Thriller film clip when MJ pulls his face from his hands and says "Go away AAAAHHHHH"

The exercist directors cut when the Regan comes down the stairs on her hands and feet. (that ****ed me)

every sound from the Japanese version of The Grudge

Predator gave me nightmares for a month

[Bread and Faxes]

Step Brothers, Zombie.

[Correction]

The old people at the end of Mulholland Drive. Scary as ****.
****in this

[Jawaharal]

oh yeah the scene in the ring when she came out of the well made me want to die when I was younger

[Murdererer]

where john candy turns into the devil :evil:

u can't spell devil with out devil

[Tillius]

The exercist directors cut when the Regan comes down the stairs on her hands and feet. (that ****ed me)



This. :(

[GreyHam]

event horizon was terrifying when i first saw it...

in solitude its not that frightening, but in context...the bit with the cat in men behind the sun. omfg. REAL

[thedeadwalk!]

Alright, I've got my "go to" scariest scene now: the resuscitation scene from The Thing. Great effects, and never, and I mean never, expected in any possible, plausible, reasonable universe with a loving God, for something like that to happen. Awesome and terrifying moment.

oh yeah the scene in the ring when she came out of the well made me want to die when I was younger
I remember closing at the movie theater one night, after we had shut the arcade down, and seeing a flash of light in the corner of my eye. In true horror movie fashion, I slowly approached the darkened game room to investigate. When, suddenly, the TV flashes back on! Snow silently riots within the screen and just as forcibly as it had appeared, from no power source, it vanished. And then the TV came back on! And went back off.

"Yeah, it does that," is the casual response of my manager noticing my somewhat freaked out expression. Of course, the first time I notice this phenomenon is after seeing The Ring, which was just opening. Say what you will about the stupidity of the situations in horror movies, but walking into one in real life sucks.

he scared me :(

[Sleeper]

That's a shiny bohunk.

[Rams]

Assault on Precinct 13's ice cream truck scene.

Many Silence of the Lambs scenes.

[Meatplow]

The old people at the end of Mulholland Drive. Scary as ****.

I love that you mentioned this, they were extremely creepy and really did unsettle me. I might add in Inland Empire, towards the end there was quite a terrifying surprise.

As for other films that come to mind, I believe the little girls setting themselves alight after they read the monologue at the end of Don't Deliver Us From Evil was genuinely horrific.

[planewreck]

I'm one of those people that gets nightmares because I think so hard about what's suggested rather than what's shown on screen so the ending to the Blair Witch Project ****ed me up. Loved the whole thing because of this.

Agreed.

[badtaste]

- The Sixth Sense: Various scenes were scary on first viewing, particularly when young Mischa Barton makes her debut.
- Ring: The footage in the video freaked me out.

That's all that come to mind.

[Meatplow]

- Ring: The footage in the video freaked me out.

this is a good one. effective surrealism there

[Jawaharal]

ok this one is kinda gay but I remember being freaked out by the stranger thing in Spirited Away :(

The twins in the Shining obviously.

And I don't care that alot of people hate Ring, I still think its the creepiest movie, especially when its your first time seeing it.

[Tillius]

Yeah the footage in The Ring creeped me out.

[Danger Bird]

The exercist directors cut when the Regan comes down the stairs on her hands and feet. (that ****ed me)

Yeah, saw that as a young'in and decided it was time to turn off the TV.

Another little terrifying moment from childhood was in Jaws when they go scuba diving at night and that corpse just sort of pops out in the sunken ship. (That was Jaws, right?)

[Badmoon]

When I was younger, Signs scared the f*ck outta me. I cannot handle the idea of aliens -- in that sense. I had some rough ideas of aliens for awhile after that -- I still don't like to watch alien documentaries on A&E.

[badtaste]

this is a good one. effective surrealism there

Yeah the footage in The Ring creeped me out.

Hell yeah. I remember watching it on youtube a while back... still ultra freaky.

The twins in the Shining obviously.


The twins were hawttttt

[Meatplow]

everyone should see australian horror film next of kin, greatest rip-off of the shining i've ever seen

[EightMilesHigh]

The guy behind the dumpster in Mulholland Dr.

:upset:

edit - also the scene in Se7en where John Christopher McGinley pulls back the sheets on the bed and there's that guy that's been tied to the bed and is pretty much a ****ing skeleton.

[JizzInMyPants]

i ****ing screamed in the ring when they suddenly flashed that girl in the closet (the first one i think, who's heart exploded)

[Seafroggys]

When I was younger, Signs scared the f*ck outta me. I cannot handle the idea of aliens -- in that sense. I had some rough ideas of aliens for awhile after that -- I still don't like to watch alien d0cumentaries on A&E.

Wait, I thought you were about my age. Signs came out when I was in high school, and it did not scare me at all.

The Grudge on the other hand...

[Tillius]

Hell yeah. I remember watching it on youtube a while back... still ultra freaky.





Yeah I bought it back when I sported VHS and they play the tape before the movie actually begins. My mom's phone had started ringing right after and I nearly lost my ****.

[simplephotographinthesun]

also the scene in Se7en where John Christopher McGinley pulls back the sheets on the bed and there's that guy that's been tied to the bed and is pretty much a ****ing skeleton.

this, had a heart attack

[iliketoplaydrums10111]

you guys basically summed it up

not necessarily scary but in saving private ryan when the guy is slowly knifed to death, i couldn't watch that when i was little, i had to look away. excruciating

[badtaste]

Yeah I bought it back when I sported VHS and they play the tape before the movie actually begins. My mom's phone had started ringing right after and I nearly lost my ****.

lol, awesome.

not necessarily scary but in saving private ryan when the guy is slowly knifed to death, i couldn't watch that when i was little, i had to look away. excruciating

Gah, ditto. Couldn't get that scene out of my head for quite a while.

[RunAmokRampant]

Ya the slow knife stab was certainly excruciating.

[JohnXDoe3]

just...things from the Exorcist. thats the scariest stuff ever. saw it when i was 11 on the big screen. it was part of a local special showing at the mall and one day i sneaked in while my mom and sister were shopping. they thought i was going to see Terminator 2, but the show was packed. so....

now i can't forget it :(

[Against Miik!]

ok this one is kinda gay but I remember being freaked out by the stranger thing in Spirited Away :(

The twins in the Shining obviously.

And I don't care that alot of people hate Ring, I still think its the creepiest movie, especially when its your first time seeing it.

When that first came out that was probably the closest I ever been to bein pretty creeped out by a movie, The Ring, I mean.

I really want to see an actually terrifying movie. I'm thinking it will be one that isn't a horror film (because those are always cheesy), and something I wouldn't expect. I'm gonna be on the lookout for one and report back.

[fatkidzonmopedz]

only thing that comes to mind is Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

[interviewer02]

i ****ing screamed in the ring when they suddenly flashed that girl in the closet (the first one i think, who's heart exploded)

Yeah! That scared the begesses outta me.

[benfan]

Yeah I bought it back when I sported VHS and they play the tape before the movie actually begins. My mom's phone had started ringing right after and I nearly lost my ****.

On the original dvd the footage is like a hidden extra and when you watch it all the dvd flicks back to the main menu with the chapter select and all that shizz, and then after a couple of seconds a phone starts ringing through the menu. lol, creepy stuff. That film still creeps me out to this day.

[fatkidzonmopedz]

there's also that one scene from spiderman where dr. osborne is woken up by harry and he's like "last night...i was.." *BOOOM*

i still fall for it everytime and jump like a lil girl

[smith_]

When I was younger, Signs scared the f*ck outta me. I cannot handle the idea of aliens -- in that sense. I had some rough ideas of aliens for awhile after that -- I still don't like to watch alien d0cumentaries on A&E.

dude me too, that one scene where the alien like walked down the alleyway or whatever gave me nightmares. i'm sure i'd laugh at it now though

i havn't seen too many scary movies, but one underrated scary scene is in the fellowship of the ring when frodo is at the house of elrond and bilbo just freaks, it's only for like 1 second but it gets me every time.

the only other one was in the happening, which was a joke of a movie, not the slightest bit scary except one scene where he goes into the house of this strange old woman, and in the morning he wakes up to find she put a doll in place of her on her bed and she like creeps up behind him. its just so bizzare and after an hour and a half of hilariously bad horror, it really got me

[Pop music sucks]

every sound from the Japanese version of The Grudge
Scariest part of that movie was the whole bathroom stall scene. Her leaning forward out of the adjacent stall and turning her head gave me shivers all over.

[HighandDriving]

the scene in audition where she is just staring at the phone.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7CQvmNF8l0&feature=related

That scared me too, Miike's a beast.

[jrowa001]

in The Orphanage when the main character (the mom) is in the upstairs hallway and the kid with the potato bag over is head is just standing there making that weird growling sound, then he runs at her. my heart was pumping

[HighandDriving]

Cabin Fever - Remember when the girl was shaving her legs and the noise it made, gross.

[Spaceman Spiff]

I love that you mentioned this, they were extremely creepy and really did unsettle me. I might add in Inland Empire, towards the end there was quite a terrifying surprise.

Inland Empire is just scary through and through. So much of that movie is spent having characters walking down dark hallways and such and you never know what's going to happen. So much tension is built up to make it so nerve-wracking and scary.

[Badmoon]

Wait, I thought you were about my age.* Signs came out when I was in high school, and it did not scare me at all.The Grudge on the other hand...Maybe I am. But it wasn't like I was screamin in the theaters -- it just reminded me of how freaked out I am of the idea that Earth would be invaded by aliens, or being abducted for example.

[cobert]

First thing I thought of was the Winkie's scene from Mulholland Dr.

Inland Empire is just scary through and through. So much of that movie is spent having characters walking down dark hallways and such and you never know what's going to happen. So much tension is built up to make it so nerve-wracking and scary.

This. I crapped my pants a few times during Inland Empire over weird stuff.

[iarescientists]

i rented Inland Empire but I never watched it because the fact that it was 3 hours somewhat intimidated me

really want to watch it now D:

[honourosis]

it's really good

[4yearpro?]

prolly something from 28 days later

[Mr. Pickle]

I always thought one of the scariest scenes (that could happen IRL) was the scene in Saving Private Ryan when the tank is about to drive by, stops, backs up, and turns down their alley. Idk why.

[EightMilesHigh]

you guys basically summed it up

not necessarily scary but in saving private ryan when the guy is slowly knifed to death, i couldn't watch that when i was little, i had to look away. excruciating

Whenever I watch anything with Adam Goldberg in it now, like Dazed and Confused, Zodiac, even A Beautiful Mind, I picture that scene. It's a rough scene.

[Levimiah]

The bathroom scene in 'The Omen' (new one. don't rememember if it's in the old one) where she closes the cabinet door and there's that thing in a mask :(. I get scared every time i'm in my bathroom now :(.

And all of 'The Exorcist' that I still can't watch cos I watched it when I was like 7 :(.

Any scene with the Joker in 'The Dark Knight'.

[Flynn]

Poltergeist when the clown comes alive. I guess it's a lot scarier when you're 5.

[Tillius]

You're a ****ing pussy dude.

[Jawaharal]

You're a ****ing slightly confuzzled sea lion dude.

lol so true

Other great scenes:

In Zodiac when hes in the basement with that weird guy. Scene was done so well, especially when you notice some clues from earlier in the film.
Freaks
The Descent was major ****in scary and creepy when they start noticing the cave drawings.

[thedeadwalk!]

Day of the Dead opening:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1ZTfsk_Bec

It takes a while as it's long and good quality, but the moment is just over a minute in. It's kind of laughable now, but it got me on first viewing.

:lol: That scene in LoTR gets me everytime too. And when I saw The Happening, I could have sworn that was her embalmed daughter's body on the bed, but it was poopty quality.

Also, not scary, but more creepy, in The Strangers when they show Liv Tyler in the kitchen and it's deathly quiet. And that guy with bag over his head just slowly steps out of the shadows.

[willfellmarsy]

the part where the face changes...

[Jude]

The bathroom scene in 'The Omen' (new one. don't rememember if it's in the old one) where she closes the cabinet door and there's that thing in a mask :(. I get scared every time i'm in my bathroom now

THat's probably one of the few movie scenes that's ever seriously scared the **** out of me idk why

[Transient]

Not really scary, but the most disturbing scene I've ever seen is in 28 Weeks Later when Don gets infected and kills his wife. When he gouged her eyes out it was hard to keep watching :(.

[benfan]

Not really scary, but the most disturbing scene I've ever seen is in 28 Weeks Later when Don gets infected and kills his wife. When he gouged her eyes out it was hard to keep watching :(.

That was pretty pretty hard to watch, especially since she was bound down and couldnt run away.

I remember watching Pet Semetary when i was young, i had a hard time watching the end where the old guy is trying to find the little kid upstairs and hes under the bed. The tension i felt when watching that scene was unbelievable.

[Smell The Cheese]

When I was a kid A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 used to terrify me in the dream sequences

[benfan]

When i was young i could never watch Edward Scissorhands cause he freaked me out so much.

[Jamais_Vu]

I was afraid of Edward Scissorhands when I was young as well. I was also afraid of that giant rock monster from The Never Ending Story.

One scene that I really can't stomach is from the movie Fire In The Sky when the aliens are shoving **** in the guys mouth and it looks so freaky.

[team_racket]

Silence of the lambs had me on the edge of my seat.

The bit in 'Man Behind The Sun' where the skin falls off that womans arms is f'ucked up. As is the rape and fire extinguisher head flattening scene in 'Irréversible'

[Pastorius]

Tremors made me cack myself when i was about 7

[Jawaharal]

what is that one movie where theres that picture with all the kids in it and they all start popping out from the picture and theres like a hundred of the little ****ers and they kill the guy

[Ruins]

In Zodiac when hes in the basement with that weird guy. Scene was done so well, especially when you notice some clues from earlier in the film.


this

One off the top of my head is Aliens. **** scared me when I was little. I probably wouldn't be scared of it now though.

And I have to check out Audition and Mulholland Drive.

[Jamais_Vu]

Aliens was on last night. That movie is a ****ing classic. It's not as scary as the first one and the third one because there are a lot of Aliens in it. It's scarier if there is only one because you never know where it is going to pop out. Bill Paxton was awesome in that lol.

[Shadows Within]

I watched Audition a few nights ago, ****ing disturbing movie.

[Bitterandthensome]

The part in The Green Mile when they forget to wet the sponge before they execute the guy. Wasn't really scary but it was really painful to watch.

[Pastorius]

The part in The Green Mile when they forget to wet the sponge before they execute the guy. Wasn't really scary but it was really painful to watch.

They don't forget to wet the sponge, the guy is a sadistic little wanker so doesn't wet the sponge on purpose.

[rasputin]

I've never been truly frightened by a movie, but the one scene that really got me was in Der Untergang (Downfall), when Goebbels' wife kills her children.

[Tillius]

Not from a movie, but the episode Hush from Buffy the Vampire Slayer with The Gentlemen really ****ing terrified me when I was younger. I really don't think I've ever been so scared watching something. I believe it scarred me for life. I still get creeped out thinking about those bastards.

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q217/Taliesin_ttlg/buffy%20series/buffys1_gentlemen.jpg

:(

[benfan]

123 big time Tillius. Its not just that the guys are weird ****ed up nobhead with crazy escaped mental patients, what makes it even worse is that they took away people ability to speak, and thus scream. Screwed me up big time when i was young, still creeps me out now.

[Spaceman Spiff]

This guy in Lost Highway.

http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/people/shows/blake/interactive/gallery/07.lost.highway.jpg

[Tillius]

This guy in Lost Highway.

http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/people/shows/blake/interactive/gallery/07.lost.highway.jpg

Oh yes.

[Moon Flavor]

I thought some parts of Silent Hill were pretty creepy like pretty much every time the darkness **** happened

[benfan]

The little girl creeping up to the kid at the end when they set fire to the church was ****ed up.

[BlastFunk03]

The wheelers in Return to Oz.

[planewreck]

The scene in the Descent when they're spelunking through this narrow passageway and it starts collapsing. I don't know if it would still be as effective today but the first time I saw it in theaters I was clenching my fists.

[Jawaharal]

definitely. that seen was so intense.

[switched]

how long have you been waiting to use the word spelunking

[planewreck]

five minutes or so

[switched]

you disappoint me

[Jamais_Vu]

Ok this is serious...I was afraid of the movie White Chicks. I thought that the way they looked as white girls was one of the freakiest things I have ever seen.

I remember the scene from Pet Cemetery when the little kid killed that old guy.

The original Night of the Living Dead. I think there was a part when a guy went into the basement and there was a girl zombie down there. Movies are scarier in black and white imo.

[Meatplow]

actually I just remembered when I was a kid and watching the original Stargate movie

the bomb is about to go off towards the end and I was so caught up in the final few seconds that I started standing and didn't even realise it

not really scary, just tense

[Buttloaves]

I thought some parts of Silent Hill were pretty creepy like pretty much every time the darkness **** happened

That movie has a really awesome/effective atmosphere.

[smith_]

Not from a movie, but the episode Hush from Buffy the Vampire Slayer with The Gentlemen really ****ing terrified me when I was younger. I really don't think I've ever been so scared watching something. I believe it scarred me for life. I still get creeped out thinking about those bastards.

wow the one episode with the invisible monster or vampire or whatever scared the living **** out of me i am still scarred from that no doubt about it
