Just edited mine to make things a little clearer to read

[rukaio101]

Since I've only got 4 lists so far, I'm going to extend the deadline to the 13th.

If anyone hasn't seen Exorcist III, do it just for the headless scene in the hospital.

Ah yes, the really big medical hedge shears

[baumer]

So is anyone still doing this?  There are a lot of best of's going on, one or two of them are bound to get lost in the shuffle.

Most of these just aren't scary in the slightest. These scene may have been scary 30 years ago, but they are laughable now.

Really Jessie?  I think his list is awesome.  Those are some classic scenes.  And you can't judge them after you have seen them 100 times, you have to judge them based on the effect they had on you when you first saw them.

[rukaio101]

Nah, it's pretty much dead. I was going to wait until the 13th to see if there was a last minute flurry of entries, but it's unlikely to happen and I can't really do it with only 3/4 entries.

Im not that old, im only 23 so so ive seen most of the films within the last 10 years. I thought the majority were shit, then again, I rarely enjoy a horror movie, unless its called Cabin In the Woods and its not really a horror.

 

I remember my mum telling me never to watch the Exorcist when I was about 8. Eventually she went out and Exorcist happened to be on. I watched it expecting to be completely terrified but found it to be the most boring pile of shit i'd ever seen. Alien is the only film I remember being scared in when I was younger. That bit in the vents freaked me out.

Any scene with Michael Myers in it is scary.

[ddddeeee]

If there's one scene that truly terrifies me it's in Alice, Sweet Alice. A little girl is being strangled in a Church while everyone else is attending mass, we cut back and forth between the murder and the ceremony. The killer is apparently also a child and is dressed in the creepiest outfit. As someone who finds the idea of mass creepy in itself this scene really disturbs me. The body is then discovered by a nun. The tone of it manages to be completely realistic yet dreamlike at the same time. A really unsettling film.
