100 Scariest Movie Moments

[Nerull]

To be honest, I love The Shining, and it has plenty of scary moments, but the part where she is running through the hotel and sees all of the ghosts just has never scared me for some reason. And the part with the guy dressed in the bear/boar outfit I have never understood. What is so scary about that scene? Even watching the film as an adult, I still can't understand what would make that scene scary (maybe it's just me...).

Just wondering about that, as it has always been something that bothered me ("why does everyone freak about that scene?").

The movies I won't even watch because they have scenes that guarantee nightmares for me:
</font>

• Eraserhead: the whole mutant baby/dancing on fetuses really creeps me out</font>
• Freaks: the part where they stalk her, but especially the end part</font>
• The Exorcist: the head spinning is bad, but so are some of the parts before that (like when she is thrashing on the bed uncontrollably screaming, or even the part with "help me")</font>
• The Blair Witch Project: the part with the tent and the end</font>

Not much on scary movies, but that was an interesting read. I foyu read their take on the bear scene, it describes why its kinda freaky, Nerull.
I've seen previews for the "Grudge," with sarah Michelle Gellar. If I ever even think about seeing that movie, it will be because of her. Otherwise, it looks pretty dumb. I mean, a little pale kid who screams like a cat? (Backhands the boy) Shaddup, I'm watching the hot chick! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Actually, I read the description on the site, and I still don't understand why that would freak someone out. The blood flowing down the hallway? Sure, people get freaked by blood. The ballroom filled with skeletons and cobwebs? People do get freaked out by skeletons, bodies, etc. But some guy getting "pleasured" by a furry? I guess it's the whole "sexual taboo" thing. Those things have never bothered me. I guess that's why I don't get it. But to each their own...

Man, I didn't realize how much scary stuff is out there for kiddy movies. Dumbo (that did freak me a bit when I was little), Wizard of Oz (it surprises me how many people are freaked by the flying monkeys), Willy Wonka (there are several freaky parts in that movie, not just the one mentioned on the site). Heck, Disney had a version of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, then there is Harry Potter, etc. We are traumatizing our children at a nice young age...

The scene with the bear and rabbit in Akira was awesome. I love that movie.

They didn't want to make two adaptations of the same book, so Ring 2 was an original story, which has almost nothing in common with the book. I just watched Ring 0 on tv. The actress Yukie Nakama, who played Sadako was amazing. Her scream at the end sounds like fingernails scraping against the inside of your skull. Shame the script was complete cack.

Ah... okay then, I didn't like Ring 2 that much. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ring ) was great, Yukie Nakama is pretty, but then she will be forever linked with Sadako... hehe. Anyway yes she screams great, and I also like the scene on where the actors were "beating" her. The sound effects were... that movie was more depressing than scary, and in the end, you'd actually be rooting for her. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Have you guys watched "Dark Water"? [img]smile.gif[/img]
