    these are just bits in films that are really scary. here's a few of my favourites:
    warning - there are spoilers!


    a nightmare on elm street - when the body bag is calling to nancy while she's in the classroom.

    the exorcist - the sequence where the mother hears 'rats' in the attic (more like lions!)

    pet cemetary - the zelda woman scared the **** out of me when i first saw this. At one point she stares at the camera with her scary eyes. (I was quite young when I saw this so it mite not be that scary)

    legend - the devil. not that scary now but v. scary if your a child especially when he charges at tom cruise at the end of the film

    the sixth sense - the bit where the boy sees the ghost boy with his head blown off

    the others - the bit where nicole kidman sees her child playing with a puppet

    american werewolf in london - again was quite young when i saw it but the bit near the start where the guy is on the moor and you hear wolves - all very psychological


    that's all i can think of at the mo

    Yep the Salems Lot scene and Pet Cemetary were good. As was IT. But the one that stays with me (and I cannot get a copy of this film anywhere) is Don't Go To Sleep....
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083844/

    Again as with all horror films it is probably the first viewing that does the trick.

    American werewolf in London, when the businessman is in the tube station, all alone and the howl goes out. Classic.

    Also, Nightmare in elm street, when the dude falls asleep listening to his headphones and gets sucked into the bed.

    Yeah forgot about that. No build up, no music, brilliantly done.

    Cmon guys... What about the bit in Audition, inside the apartment when the phone is ringing. A very normal sack lying on the ground springs to life with a sickening groan and you realise someone is inside... Scared the beejeesus out of me..

    remeber when he sees himself in a dream sequence in the forest lying in a hospital bed and all of a sudden his eyes and face contort to this evil face... only lasts a second but leaves a mark. Also when he awakes from the nightmare with the PIG NAZI's and the nurse opens the window.....AAARGGGHHH still in the dream...

    Hmm, Johnny Depp getting sucked into the bed and a fountain of blood spraying up in N.O.E.S.? Just came to me there, great moment :)
    Actually I could just list all the deaths from Jason X, but I'd be here all day!

    The Others, when the kids are in bed and the sis says "...go on, tough him..."
    I was like, a fúck no, closed my eyes lol, that was one of my biggest fears when I was a kid, it was like being 10years old alone in the dark again :)

    Hellraier 2 (i think) when the girl is being circled by the cenobites as pinhead is talking to her in the room with the chains hanging (no doubt telling her that there is no escape), and the cenobite that has her throat held open with wire keeps sticking the cigarette in the poor girls arm. Just not a nice group of things to be getting circled by.
