100 Scariest Movie Moments

[Mack_Attack]

Well I just seen Gothika(sp it is late and my mind is not working). Anyways that movie made me jump a few times and also the ring, had its moments. And what about that new one. The grudge that looks very cool.

I was just chatting to someone and they mentioned The Grudge, I had not heard of it until 4 minutes ago.

The Grudge is scary only if you consider someone jumping onto you in the dark and saying boo. Yeah you get scared but it is hardly noteworthy.

There are so many Aww-come-on moments in the Grudge that most people simply cant take the movie seriously. Curiously though, I saw the movie with a big crowd and the screams and laughs made for an enjoyable evening with a bad film.

I can't think of a thing, only because I very rarely watch horror. I just find sooo much of it is sooo bad! I liked Poltergeist, but I think they intended to make a good movie instead of just trying to scare people. Too many of these are just blood and gutts for the sack of blood and gutts.
I do remember Alien being a bit scary at times though.

<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.

I noticed it also made the top 5 of several members here.</font>

Oh come on, the Evil Dead trilogy was good refreshing fun. It was far too funny to be taken as a serious horror.

I dunno, man, I watched the Ring, and it seemed really stupid to me. I was far too busy admiring the graphics work of when the chick crawls out of the tv to be scared. Well, that, and checking out the eye-candy that surrounded me.

1. Exorcist - watch this film when I was a kid. Of course it freak me out. It's the scariest movie for me.

2. Salem Lot ( the one about vampires ) - again I watch this when I was a kid. The scene were this dead man rise up from his coffin and bite the grave digger neck really jumped me. This is also due to that stupid music effect. Like when the dead man wakes up ( slow music ) when suddenly he bite ( fast loud sudden stop music ).

3. Haunted ( old version ). I also watch this when I was a kid. The scene where the spiral stair began to shake uncontrolbly is a disturbing sight. This is also due to my aunty house where I watch this movie got a spiral stair.

Strange though when I grew up horror movie don't scare me anymore.

I don't know about the rest of you but every scene with that Clown from IT scared the crap outa me. I hate clowns!
