Scariest Movie Moments

[scholes]

Damien II
When the female reporter arrives at the Military Academy after seeing Egail's Wall.
She asks which football player is Damien Thorne.
The man points across the field.
Damien looks around and slowly pulls off his protective helmet.
The reporter steps back in sheer terror, and quickly runs to her car.


In her vain attempt to warn everybody, she's killed by the black crow on her drive back to New York.

"Come with me Mark"
"Don't make me beg you Mark"
"Goodbye Mark"

The scene in 'Wait Until Dark', where Alan Arkin's character, supposedly dead after
being stabbed, jumps out and grabs Audrey Hepburn's ankle. The last 10-20 minutes of the film, including this scene, takes place in the dark, making it all the more chilling.

The 'law reciting' scene from 'Island of Lost Souls' (1932).

Charles Laughton [cracks whip]: What is the Law?

Agonised beast/man: Not to run on all fours. That is the law. Are we not men?

Other beast/men: Are we not men?

Laughton [cracks whip again]: What... is the Law?

Agonised beast/man: Not to eat meat. That is the law. Are we not men?

Other beast/men: Are we not men?

Laughton [final crack]: What... is... the Law?

Agonised beast/man: Not to spill blood. That is the law. Are we not men?

Other beast/men: Are we not men?

Leading beast/man: HIS is the hand that makes. HIS is the hand that heals. HIS is the house... of paaaaain.

Still sends shivers down my spine.

Dead of Night. The scene with Michael Redgrave and the dummy. There is one scene where the dummy comes "alive" and you see it walking towards him with its hands outstreched and then it strangles him. Amazing film and still chilling despite it being made in 1944. An Absolute classic....

Often wondered if the house used in the film is the same one used in Auf Weidersehen Pet when the lads are doing it up for Ally Fraser just before they go to Spain. Does anyone know?

It was Oliver Reed that fell from the window onto the car window screen and the little boy jumps out screaming then the chimney falls on him, great film

Sorry to be following myself but must mention the last King Kong 2005.
A brilliant production of course but nightmarish in the extreme. The vile not PC looking natives and the quite ludicrous total sequence of Naomi Watts with the Gorilla - thrown all over the place to break every bone in a human body and how on earth did she keep her (minimal amount) of cloths on. They would have been ripped to shreds.

"Don't you f***ing look at me!" scene from Blue Velvet

[BruIrn]

The bit in Sixth Sense where the figure runs past the bathroom door. Still can't make a late night trip to the toilet without thinking about it.

[Miss Guided]

The bit in ‘The Devil Rides Out’ when they summon up ‘the devil himself’ ( as if he had a stand in) sticks in my mind. As does Satan’s hand rubbing up Mia Farrow in ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ – don’t like depictions of the devil.. I think there is also a devilish apparition in ‘The Masque of the Red Death’. Oh – and the scene in Jack The Giant (1961/2) where a monstrous menagerie of the witches on board a ship – was that scene directed by Michael Powell?

[Azanti]

'It was the elephant'

Dead Mans Shoes

[s20076037]

The telephone scene in NIGHT OF THE EAGLE. The intensity of it, along with the sound is just chilling.

Charles Gray as a guest in THE DEVIL RIDES OUT. "I shan't be back, but something else will ... tonight." Gives me the chills that bit.

The blood-test scene in John Carpenter's THE THING. The "screech" of the wire in the blood just before ... is very scary.

The hospital corridor scene in THE EXORCIST III is one of those jump out of your seat and nearly have a heart attack moments.

The cat scene in NIGHT OF THE DEMON. The editing, the music, and Dana Andrews reaction in that scene is scary. I love the way he drops the poker.

THE WOMAN IN BLACK. All the scenes with the woman in black. The main scene, I swear, made my heart skip a beat and my stomach lurched. Terrifying.

John, I've seen a fair few TWILIGHT ZONE episodes but not these two. I started watching ONE STEP BEYOND this week and love it. What show are these two episodes from? They sound fantastic, and I'd like to track them down. Any info. would be appreciated!
