<font color=plum>Cool list, <font color=silver>shadowhound</font>. I do NOT like horror movies (though I've seen a few and found them to be far less scary than I expected) so I didn't expect to see many scenes I would recognise.

The one scene that was near the top of the list that DID scare the ever-lovin-CRAP outta me was the scene from Jaws where Richard Dreyfuss is inspecting the sunken boat and the disembodied head floats down into the hole.

I've watched Poletergeist, Shining, Hellraiser, Chucky and a few other horror films - and found they weren't nearly as frightening as I expected.

One resounding testimony to "The Ring" comes from a good buddy of mine who absolutely LOVES horror movies (he even took a class in college studying the techniques used in different movies). He and one of my other college buddies have probably seen basically every horror movie worth mentioning. While many of the films scared them (in a good way), my buddy said "The Ring" was the scariest movie he had EVER seen. It scared him SO bad that - during the night when he got up to get a bottle of the baby - he got a physical chill down his spine from just walking past the DVD lying on the table.

Our other buddy asked if he planned to buy a copy of the film when it came out and he said that since the sheer physical presence of the DVD scared him so bad, he didn't think he would be adding that one to his collection.

Coming from a guy that thinks movies like Evil Dead, Living Dead, etc etc are good refreshing fun - that is a pretty strong statement to how terrifying The Ring was.
