I love horror /suspense movies. What are your favorite scream out loud movie moments....or moments that just give you that Oh shit goosebump chills =D


Ringu- Jap version
Each time the tape is played , with that eerie background music. And that sequence where Sadako crawls out of her well, staggers directly towards me, and crawls OUT of the television set in the movie almost had me peeing my pants!

Carrie
The very last scene, where the only remaining girlfriend is crying on Carrie's grave...all of a sudden a bloody HAND pops up out of the ground and she screams just as she wakes up from a bad dream rocking back and forth... and the accompaniying music almost gives me a heart attack....LOL its truly one of de Palmas signature shockers!

Amityville Horror
When the little daughter is teling her mom about her best friend Jody (the pig) and her mom says that there is nobody in the room, then the rocking chair starts to move and two beady red eyes are seen in the window. LOL eeek

many more i'll remember later. How about u?
 
--The "yippee-ky-yo" scene in the first Die Hard. ;)
--The scene in Scream 2 where that guy gets stabbed behind soundproof glass, while the girl on the other side can see everything.
--Quint's death scene in Jaws; it still scares the hell out of me.
--Ripley's escape in the original Alien; the scene in the sequel was good as well, but not quite as tense, IMO.
--The scene in Strange Days when the cop realizes that the killer was looking over him while he slept, in his own house. ;)
 
The minute Ed norton changes demeanour and snaps his fingers at stunned lawyer Richard Gere in the final moments of Primal Fear
Damn

of course the psycho shower scene- probably the highest rated of the type in the last 50 years

one of the best edited scenes ever put on celluloid. i forget how many edits there are - but i remember reading that hitch shot it from 70 different angles, and the edits keep you totally off balance.

On the subject of hitchcock - the cornfield scene in north by northwest is quite amazing (as is the scene in that awesome Wright-like house when Cary Grant is trying to communicate with Eva Marie Saint, and then James Mason finds that pack of matches). Also the scene in rear window when jimmy stewart is watching grace kelly in raymond burr's apt via binoculars, and watches as he catches her in there. Then there's the part in Notorious when Claude Rains realizes Bergman in an american spy, but doesn't let that on to her.

And then of course, there's the entire 2nd part of Vertigo when hitch brilliantly exposes to us - the viewers - Judy Barton's secret, but keeps it from Jimmy Stewart. A lesser director would have kept Judy's identity a secret from the audience for the entire film, and it would have played like just another melodramatic mystery - is it really her or not? But hitch is brilliant, breaking all the rules, by letting us in on the secret early and not letting Jimmy Stewart know - so our focus in the film totally changes. No longer are we wrapped up in the mystery of who the new girl is, and instead we get to watch, and squirm, as JS decends into total pathos, and Kim Novak plays along...

I could go on but i'll stop here :)
 
The Shining

Redrum,Redrum,Redrum!!!

And yeah,Ringu
For the same reasons as above...I quite like the US version too,if i had seen the US version before the original i'd probably think just as highly of it....but it's a copy:\
 
some scenes that come straight to mind are...


The Exorcist

when regan spins her head around and says "you know what she did". that scene is seriously hardcore.

the face that pops up for a split second out of nowhere almost subliminally a few times throughout the film.


The Shining (Kubrick)

the dog suit fellatio scene. possibly the most disturbing moment in cinema.
 
While we're on The Shining...the sequence with the twin girls and the blood filling the corridors...that always freaks me out...

And lots and lots of David Lynch stuff--I'm always more scared by symbolic stuff than straight-forward horror/thrills...

event horizon and everything you don't see (and then all that you do) freaks me out.

WORD. Even HOrizon seriously freaked me out, and i DONT get freaked out easily ! LOL very good choice. Subliminal images are the worst ...they stay in my head WAAAAY after the movie is finished!
 
The scene from Evil Dead where the thing in the basement changes from a monster to the girl's mom and starts singing "hush little baby" to try to trick her into letting it out.

*shivers*

On that note, the entire closet voyeur scene in Blue Velvet (I believe there are two and he gets caught the second time) is incredibly suspenseful and creepy... not to mention the drive with Frank.

"I'll send you a love letter! Straight from my heart, fucker! You know what a love letter is? It's a bullet from a fucking gun, fucker! You recieve a love letter from me, you're fucked forever! You understand, fuck? I'll send you straight to hell, fucker!"
 
honebee..i love evil dead Lol! SUPERB
Double Vision , when Tony Leung discovers the dead girl buried in the far end of the temple, and when she comes alive, and starts walking towards him, her eyeballs flicker and show two pupils...OMG!!
