Name some movie scenes that scared you the most.
I'll never forget the first time I saw the TV movie version of Stephen King's Salem's lot. A small boy is starting to fall asleep and we get to see his brother, recently turned vampire, drifting slooowly out of the mist, grinning evilly as he floats towards the bedroom window. To this day I can't see this movie as that scene scared the hell out of me. Who knew little boys could be so scary.
And the scene from the Shining. Little Danny is walking up to his sleeping mother screeching 'redrum, redrum' over and over. She wakes up and sees the redrum written on the door in the mirror, now spelling murder. And that's just one scene. Need I mention the girls in the hallway. One movie I won't be caught dead watching alone ever again. Scares the living hit with an s out of me.
What many forget about Friday the 13th is that Jason isn't the killer. So when it's all over you're totally unprepared for little boy Jason popping out of the water. I watched it with a friend once. Damn, did he jump. He was a bundle of nerves when I showed him part two.
THE HEAD IN THE BOAT from Jaws. Bloody near jumped out of my skin. And not just the first time.
The hand form the grave at the end of Carrie. When I saw it the first time I knew it was coming, yet I still jumped in my seat.
Then you have the scary doll in Poltergeist. When it finally does what little Robbie has always been afraid of. (jumping him in the middle of the night) it's another jump out of your seat moment. I watched that scene once with 4 other guys who hadn't seen the movie before. Now that was fun. A collective jump all around.
I also once had a chance to see From Dusk till Dawn with a bunch of guys who didn't know it was a vampire flick.

Ringu - The TV scene (That EYE)
JU-ON: the grudge 2 - a woman is being followed by the "death thing" and in her flat starts to watch TV, but it starts crackling and the Image on the screen (a woman reporter) starts to distort in to a wierd face and the TV made the noise the "killer thing makes". she then looks under her bed covers and the ghost girl is in there and pulls her down into the bed.
Halloween - Michael emerging from the dark (when laurie finds the bodies) and when he sits up behind laurie

Alien: The Facehugger scene, and near the end where the Alien was hiding behind the piping inside the escape pod.

Off the top of my head:
-Every scene with the clown in IT. I watch that film annually (a Halloween tradition) and it still gets me when Pennywise pops out of sewers and drains and whatnot. Perhaps the most frightening is the locker room shower scene. Even if the clay-mated effects of the floor opening up are sorta hokey by today's standards, it still makes me jump when Pennywise sticks his head out of the floor and cackles.
-In Signs where the house is all boarded up and all you can hear is a horrible banging/scratching noise as something tries to break into the house. That would have made even Hitchcock shake a little (and it was derived from a Hitchcock film!)
-Also from Signs, the Birthday Party video. Is an explanation really even needed? Anyone who's seen the movie will never forget that scene.
-The invasion of the creatures from the forest in The Village. It's just so damn intense, especially with the blind girl standing out in the open, holding out her hand to guide her beloved home while all these damn monsters swarm around her.
-"It puts the lotion on it's skin," in Silence of the Lambs. It's indescribable because it's really all in the acting. Ted Levine and Brooke Smith are just so brilliant - Smith playing the scared-for-her-life girl and Levine playing the crazy, but also frightened (perhaps for his sanity) killer. The part where they both break down wailing like wounded animals is really the height of creepiness in cinema.
-Se7en: "Sloth" comes to life on his death bed. One of the best "jump scares" ever.

Ah, just thought of another...
Man Bites Dog: Benoit smothers a little boy. It's just...I don't even know where to begin. That whole movie is f'd up. Great and brilliant, but f'd up.
Oh! and
The Vanishing (the original Dutch version, not the dumb American remake): Rex wakes up to find himself buried alive.

I have never seen Exorcist III Well what the luv are you still doing here? Run out and rent it right damn now! It's a great film that was unfairly buried by the assumed "sequel-itis" syndrome. It's not as great as the first Exorcist film, but it's still very, very, very good.

Speaking of 'Man Bites Dog' did you know that this week (4th of September) that the writer, producer and director of MBD Rémy Belvaux died? Apparently he commited suicide.

I haven't been scared by a film. Strange I know, and I do watch horror, but I enjoy the movies, but I'm not scared of them.

Everyone says the birthday party on signs is scary but I saw the movie and I could see it coming a million miles away. The only thing even remotly scary in that movie was when the hand stuck out from the door, and then i just barely jumped. I saw part of the Exorcist on VH1's "I love the 70's" and it scarred me for life. I was also only 10 but still. I couldn't be alone in a room for about 3 months. God I hate the bed thumping seen.

I always get scared by the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark, when the Nazis laugh in the face of God and the Angels face changes to the Angel of Death. I don't care about the melting faces, but the Angel creeps me out.

The only movie that has seriously scared me is "requiem for a dream" and that isnt a horror movie by most standards...but to me it was because the horrors on screen were intensely real and I have people close to me that I can relate to the characters in each situation. The fast-forward heightening of the drug while it takes effect and the outrageously creepy music had me almost crying...
