Scariest part in a movie?

[KBeee]

The final bit of Carrie, when the hand comes out of the grave made me jump in the cinema.
But that was the last western film that spooked me. I laughed at the Exorcist in the cinema.. (why's that dummy got that false head on backwards? Ohhhh... I see... it's the famous scary "Head Turning" scene....)
Japanese Ring and Audition were the last movies that made me squirm in my seat.
I guess the more movie makers spend on *scary* effects, the less willing I am to suspend disbelief.

well my scariest moment wasnt a film it was in the game resident evil on the original ps
got it the day of release waited till it was dark to start it thought it was a bit sh*tty ta first then got to the bit were you walk through the door into a corridor and the zombie bursts thru the window at the side of you and tries to get hold of you thats about the only time ive ever jumped and i nearly hit the ceiling totally shat myself lol i was about 25 at the time as well took my time playing the game after that !!!

I have to admit Resident Evil got me as well alomst put the joypad through the tv

scariest film I've seen is one by the japanese director of the ring called "dark water", theres a few parts in this film that made me shout OMFG a few times

Oh - watched the japanese version of "parasite eve" last night and that is one awesome film ( even if it had subtitles )

Michael Jackson in the Thriller video had me hiding behind the sofa as a youngster. Nothing has ever really got to me though, quite a few films make me jump but not over the top. I've had dreams that are far scarier as they seem more real!

As-a-child-behind-sofa moment was definately old Ben Gardener's head appearing through the hole in his sunken boat in Jaws.

Had quite an effect on Hooper too as I recall

Pet Cemetary - It's the middle of the day, he walking around in the garden, then the cat jumps out of the tree at him. Gets me every time

Still - the funniest was watching my mate playing Tomb raider 2; he ran into one of the cave areas with cobwebs everywhere, at which point he mutters something about "bloody spiders" having had fun trying to kill the little ones earlier in the game. Then a giant spider drops off the ceiling in front of him. He falls back off his beanbag in fright (no mean feat I can tell you) and the controller sails through the air to land on the other side of the TV cabinet. Cue him panicking to find it, once he'd picked himself up, before she got killed.

I laughed and laughed

i cant really remember many bits that have made me jump, but heres one that makes me jump everytime i see it

in Signs , when the cactus guy walks past the alleyway ; that is seriously creepy !

This sounds kind of lame too...

28 Days Later, in a massive cinema, tottally fixed on the screen...

They have just discovered that the city is empty, it's showing you the empty streets, and all of a sudden a Mercedes Benz car alarm goes off and the scren cuts to the car at the same time - OMG did I poop myself at that!

Only *real* time I've been scared @ the flicks.... girlfriend still laughs at me to this day (even though she agrees it was quite a hairy moment)!!

[Howard]

Lead Head that made me crap myself when I watched it on DVD... Especially seeing as the dialogue is so much quieter than the effects!!!

[Lead_Head]

Yeh, it was soooooo loud (the alarm), when the scene is soo quiet you can hear all the litter rustle on the floor

I am kinda desensitised when it comes to a horror movies.. At best, I find certain scenes "exciting" rather than "scary" (there are two scenes in "The Eye" I particularly like.. The "Why are you sitting on my chair" scene and the elevator scene).

When it comes to slightly "demented" scenes, the last one I recall (as I just rented it yesterday) was the "Who's your daddy" scene in house of 1000 corpses.
Although I've seen many more, and quite possibly worse.

The last movie that genuinely made me uneasy was probably Angel Heart. I found most scenes with the "heartbeat sound" and the end when everything was revealed rather creepy at the time (I was like 14?).

To be honest though, movies like "Dark Water" didn't do much to me.. I kinda -wanted- to be scared, and there were a few part were I felt that they were building the tension, but failed to deliver the "boo!" factor.

hmm none in the last few years spring to mind, but when I was about 10 my sister made the grave mistake of letting me watch Nightmare on Elm Street. I completely freaked out at the part where they're in bed and the next thing Freddy's got one of them (can't remember which, the guy I think) going round the ceiling with the gf screaming her lungs out.

I couldn't sleep on my own for a while after that

28 days later, when they had to change the tyre in the tunnel and all those rats appeared! i watched that film in the cinema and picked my feet right up to chin level as if they really were there!!! that scared the crap outta me, and that film was pretty bad in places, but that was the worst

Me too. Watched that film for the first time in the dark really close to the screen without being disturbed. My heart was absolutely hammering by the time I got to that scene. Absolute class. Anybody who slated that film just didn't watch it in the right environment.
