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.

Hammer house of horror scared me as a child.

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....
