Indiana Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 We've had your list of horror movies but I want to know what scenes in a horror, or any other type of film, have scared you so bad that you go to bed thinking about them. When I was a kid with me it was when I first saw the Elephant Man's face in the David Lynch film, which was made worse because I knew he was a real person. I couldn't even read his true life story as it had a picture of him in there. I'm over that now, and pretty immune to all things horror (except maybe Barbara Streisand - now that IS true living evil!!!) Obi-Wan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoden_of_rohan Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 The scariest scenes??? Well, I remember that the child-catcher from Chitty Chitty used to freak me out. Hmmm, you want scarier than that? Ok, let me think... Well, the last 10 mins of Blair Witch got my heart thumping, but I don't know whether if its the scariest scene? Oooh, the twins in the Shining spook me a bit. No, there must be something scarier? Oh, perhaps the dinner table scene in Texas Chainsaw - but then again, that could be described as disturbing more than scary! This is a really hard question! Maybe it's because films don't really scare me! Oh, hang on! I've thought of it! THE EVIL QUEEN IN SLEEPING BEAUTY (shivver!) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narago Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 In The Omen when the nanny is just standing there watching Damien sleeping, spooky she just looks soooo evil. I dont really have scary scenes more that make me jump but not necessarily because they are scary. The scene in The Others when Nicole Kidman is looking in the dark and theres a picture on the wall and it looks like someone is standing there that got me going a bit!!!! I agree with you there Lee about the Twins in The Shining they were spooky and the last few mins of Blair Witch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love The Others - loads of people hated it, but I thought it was really good...and quite eerie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted February 26, 2004 Author Share Posted February 26, 2004 What about the Dwarf at the end of Don't Look Now, anyone find that scary? I know a load of my colleagues did. Or perhaps the scene at the very end of Carrie (the tombstone scene) I know that gets a lot of people. Obi-Wan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonmate1 Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 It has to be the ending of Carrie... Saw it at a cinema and wasn't expecting it.. took a few minutes to recover and get out of my seat... Similar "jumpy" moments.. Friday the 13th ending.. Jason grabs the girl out of the boat.. Alien.. when the torch flashes into the tunnel.. Jaws.. The head in the hole in the boat.. But the scariest film as an overall at thetime is the Exorcist.. though a little dated now, at the time was a real shocker.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymalfoy Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 ummmmmmm the bit in the witches where the boy turns into a mouse - that scared the hell out of me for the longest time when i was small - real horror films dont really scare me though, theyre just mint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted February 26, 2004 Author Share Posted February 26, 2004 Jaws.. The head in the hole in the boat.. Ah yes, old Ben Gardner's head. Those are great jumpy scenes but I'm after the really disturbing scenes, ones that really affect your sleep. Obi-Wan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narago Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Yeah the end of Carrie, I remember that getting me!!!

stinkyberm Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 (This is sad) The scene that scared me the most was a scene from Star Trek (TOS) that I watched when I must've been 9 years old. It was the program where the guys eyes turned silvery (I think it was one of the 2001 actors going to LFCC). Gave me nightmares for weeks that! The scenes that get to me now are the possession type movies, I really can't deal with them! I have no problems with the slasher types or things like Alien. Poor hubby is a sweet soul, took him to see Halloween H2O, I think it was his first "horror", it didn't go down too well. And he's never made it past the music for a Freddy film Oh yeah, I don't like daleks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted February 26, 2004 Moderators Share Posted February 26, 2004 Generally most of ANOES when I first saw it gave me weird dreams, or stopped me from sleeping at all! ... like the blood pouring out of the bed scene and the girl being dragged all around the room by Freddy up the walls n stuff ... that really freaked me out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legalblonde Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 I can honestly say no HORROR movie has scared the s*** out of me, as I was older before I started watching them. The only SCENE I can think of that scared me was seeing the 'horse head in the bed' scene from The Godfather, which I saw when I was about 11 on video. Had nightmares for weeks!

Or perhaps the scene at the very end of Carrie (the tombstone scene) I know that gets a lot of people. Obi-Wan The dwarf did scare the crap out of me. But I can honestly say the carrie scene never scared me. It just seemed so obvious. Plus the hand doesnt come out of the ground fast enough.

Indiana Posted February 28, 2004 Author Share Posted February 28, 2004 I think the scary hand still works in Carrie it's the music that is jumpy, not the hand itself. Of course it's all a matter of how it affects people individually! Obi-Wan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAT Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Its quite embarassing but I really get freaked out by the scene in pet sematary with her ill sister. She is in the back room and all her spine is showing. Then she chases her later. I still really hate it. Its funny because some things I watch and they do nothing to me, I enjoy them and find them a little spooky, but they dont give me nightmares. For example when i watched a nightmare on elm st it didnt scare me one bit. I thought it wa a great film though. The shining is really scary. Almost all of it is very unsettling. It just makes me very uncomfortable. I love it! The boat scene at the end of friday the 13th was really scary when I first saw it but I got over it after a few sessions of watching it. I remember when I was younger I watched Halloween 3 with my friend and we were on our own. She watched it to the point where they pulled that mans head off. And then she had to go home. It was daytime and my mum was at work but I remember it scared me so much! I think its pants now though which just goes to show! Oh my god, just remembered. This is a TV thing but there was a episode of midsomer murders with anna massey in it, she lived with this other old lady in this big old house, I think the other lady was anna masseys dead husbands sister. Anyway, anna massey was really horrible to this old lady. Anna massey kept this one room locked and never let the other old lady in it. Loads of stuff happened. But at the end the old lady went to find out what was in the room, when she though anna massey was busy. She found the key and snook in, and inside was her brother (masseys husband) sort of mummified and lying in bed, and the room was like a shrine. Then anna massey found her and chased her down the hall screaming.. And i wont ruin the end. It absolutely terrified me though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandalf Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 I saw a film at the cinema last year called They. It's a seriously creepy film as it plays on old childhood fears with lots of movement in shadows and things under the bed. I think it has to be one of the scariest films I have ever seen!

emotionalvampire Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I havent watched a film for ages that has really freaked me out. When I was younger, I was allowed to watch all sorts. Im talking about 7 or 8. Back then, the film that gave me the most nightmares was The Thing. Most of it freaked me out. What with dogs heads splitting open. guys chests opening up and eating hands and then the spider head! Then there was all the classic zombie films. I still remember seeing Zombie Flesh Eaters when I was about 7. Films that freak me out are not the ones where you visually see whats happening, more of the ones where you dont.

Indiana Posted March 12, 2004 Author Share Posted March 12, 2004 I saw the original 1963 Robert Wise The Haunting back in the late 90's, much later than all the gore an visceral stuff I had seen in my youth, and that film still spooks me today. The suggestion of something being there than actually seeing something is far far stronger! PS The remake was utter crap and Jan de Bont should be shot...even if he did make Speed 1!
