what is your favourite scary scene from a horror film?

[Batman]

I'm just watching John Carpenters 'The Thing' at the minute (nice easy watching for a Sunday morning I know)

I thought it'd be interesting to see what you lot class as your favourite scenes, whether it is an outright balls to the wall gore fest from Hostel or some campy screams from The Amityville Horror stick them in here.

first up

This old fucker scared the absolute living shite out of me when I was a kid, there isn't any crazy jump scenes or anything, he's just a horrible creepy old dude, one of the few things that has gave me nightmares.

Then there is this scene of Exorcist III, probably one of the most underrated scares in film I reckon, the film was actually pretty decent and would have been a helluva lot better if the studio left it the way William Peter Blatty wanted it to be.

This one terrified me as an eight year old

Hammer house of horror scared me as a child.

[Mark TKO]

I remember one with a witch. Maybe called Lucinda.

And another about a house that bled to death.

Wow where have those memories come from....

You must have great memory to remember the names. Bet you are a statto.

[Mark TKO]

I have been known to be called that

[Spicoli]

Call me corny but Jaws still one of the scariest I've seen . Never a big fan of horror save for dark apocalyptic stuff. Also Chucky had nothing on this freaky voodoo slasher

[Batman]

Dafuq is that, I just skipped it to the part where the little pencil troll attacks her, I reckon I'm gunna have to watch all of that lol

Bit cheesy now in 40's but as a kid that shit messed you up.

Always loved Jaws, great shout out Spicoli.

The scene in The Shining with the blood coming out of the elevator is pretty creepy.

I like that scene in Zodiac killer with he finds out the guy he talking to did the posters and then has to go down to the basement. More of a thriller tho.

Eraser head although not really horror was creepy scary. The German version of funny games

[Dannl99]

In The Thing where they're testing the blood and he strikes the shape shifter... that scared the fuck out of me.

The tub girl in The Shining is terrifying. In Rec where they're in the dark with one of the monsters at the end is horrible.
