Which Movie Scene Freaked You The Most

Garthy

Already been said, the head in Jaws. I still can't watch it.

The Crying Game. If you've seen the film, you'll know the scene.

Heartfeltdawn

The autopsy scene in Alien 3. I don't mind heads being ripped off, people burning melted in acid a la Robocop, and suchlike but the actual crushing of bone rather gets to me. 

I won't link it here. It's on Youtube if you want.

There was a bit in Halloween that made me jump. Can't remember which bit but it definitely made me jump.

John Carpenter's The Thing was pretty creepy too.

On TV I remember an episode in Hill Street Blues where a cop accidentally kills a child during an arrest in a flat - there's a point later on where he's talking about it to another cop and scratching his leg (where the child had hold of it at some point) and as the scene goes on you can see that he's scratched it raw as he tries to rid himself of the memory - not scary but brilliantly done.

I don't do horror films at all as they really freak me out. Having said that, I have caught a couple of scenes when flipping channels late at night. I kind of don't want to see, but then get drawn in a bit, and then really regret it afterwards! Two scenes that still haunt me:

1) the kid in the Grudge

2) the girl coming out of the TV in the ring

Damn! Now I'm thinking about them! Glad I'm not just going to bed .....

I thought I'd seen a lot until this, so I'd have to nominate just about everything that occurs after about the first 25 minutes of this -

It's not even just the obvious either, the sheer hopelessness of the situation is intensely gut-wrenching.

The bit on The Amityville Horror where the priest gets locked in a room which then fills up with flies.You then hear the demons voice shout "Get out"

Creeps me out every time.

I watched a LOT of horror films when i was 8 to 10 years old so I'm pretty desensitised to stuff like that. The only one i remember having a moment on was the hand coming out the grave at the end of Carrie.

But, one scene that still terrifies and emotionally ruins me even now, is that scene from Watership Down where Bright Eyes is playing, with all the rabbit spirits swirling around. It is truly beautiful to me but genuinely nightmarish

viz

The scene in Cypher when Jack Thursby / Morgan Sullivan works out what's going on.

Not a specific scene, but seeing Eraserhead for the first time.

It was the early '80s, I was at University and I had this radio-cassette player with a 5" black and white TV screen.  Late one night, channel-hopping (all four of 'em) I stumbled on Eraserhead.  I'd never heard of it, never heard of David Lynch, didn't have a TV listings magazine to find out what the hell it was..... sitting there watching that strange, strange film on that fuzzy little screen it just didn't seem like reality.  I thought I'd picked up something from another dimension and I was the only person watching it.  It was truly disturbing... but in a good way.

Another vote for Event Horizon. Possibly the only film I ever came away from the cinema scared shitless.

The end of the original version of The Vanishing.

(Haven't seen the remake, I have no interest.)

Harvey Keitel in Bad Leiutenant was pretty full-on freaky

I get shit-scared at anything remotely scary, but the whole of ET gave me nightmares as a kid. Especially the part where they find him near a river, and he's all grey and shit. Fuck that film.
