What is the most frightening movie scene you remember?

[miles]

The scene from Saving Pvt. Ryan when the American and the German soldier are fighting hand to hand. The German finally prevails, and has the GI down on the floor, holding his bayonet to the GI's heart while saying in German something like "Don't fight it....keep quiet....don't scream...it will be easier." The GI is yelling "What are you saying,"while the German kills him.

I couldn't sleep for three nights after seeing that.

 

[Wiggles]

Just about every scene in The Cell.

God that movie flipped my wig!

 

[TN_Vixen]

Lots of them come to mind

The Exorcist - where she came down the stairs upside down, crabwalking down the stairs made me scream out loud in the theater.. and I spilled popcorn all over my best friend!

Recently, I screamed again while watching "The Others"

I'm such a scaredy cat.

 

[Problem Child]

In The Exorcist, the Devil's (or a demon's) face flashes on the screen for a split second, so fast that it's almost subliminal. When I saw it on video, I rewound it and it's simply a man's face in black and white make-up, about 20 frames, which is less than a second of film. But it sends chills up your spine.

 

[Basia]

The Elevator Scene in Resident Evil. Anyone who;s seen the movie, you know what I'm talking about, anyone who hasn't, go see it.

 

[Problem Child]

We didn't plan that. Really.

 

[unclej]

in the original movie "alien" when they first found the eggs and the one guy goes down under the mist, leans over real close to get a good look and that ugly little sum bitch jumps out and grabs his face plate...i was still smoking then, a pipe, and was in a movie house that had a smoking section (about a hundred years ago) and i bit the end out of a damn good dunhill pipe...

 

[shynsexy]

the ending scene in joy ride where she's in a chair with a shot gun right in front of her. shes taped with her mouth shut. if he opens the door shes dead... the suspense is a killer!

 

[TN_Vixen]

Nightmare on Elm Street

something about Freddy Crueger and falling asleep only to get assaulted in your dreams used to make my blood run cold.

 

[bored1]

The scene in the first Jaws when the guys head pops through the hole in the bottom of the boat,

 

[TN_Vixen]

Ooooh, what about Cape Fear? Damn near made me pee in my pants. LOL. I don't know why I torture myself with thrillers. And here I'm looking forward to "The Panic Room" sheesh.

 

[TN_Vixen]

another scene that raised goosebumps

"Cujo" right at the very beginning. I'd read the book, and was sitting in my LR watching the very first scene, where the dog is running through the field with his mouth a-lather... and the music.. and and... I couldn't watch anymore. My mouth dried up and I started getting heart palpitations. heh It was quite embarrasing seeing as how my date was sitting right next to me at the time.

*sigh*

I don't know why this one scared the hell outta me. I mean, I've always loved horror movies! But, when I was a wee one (yeah, like 12 or so!) I saw part of "Return of the Alien's Deadly Spawn"...this lady goes down to the dark basement alone (of course) to find her husband...there's the bare bulb, hardly casting any light...the suspense builds, the token scary music plays....then *clap* goes a hand on her shoulder! She jumps and screams, I jump and scream...and then she's relieved, because she looks at the hand and sees her hubbys ring on it...so she turns...to see his arm sticking out of this big slimy creature's giant toothy mouth! Eeek! The picture cuts to a floor drain, there's lots of screaming and squelching/cracking/chomping sounds....then the drain turns red...

God, I had nightmares for weeks. Only movie that ever did that, till Event Horizon came out

*shiver*

i know how u feel, i love freddy movies but the STILL scare me, especailly number 3!

 

[MaxSebastian]

Watership Down - every single second of it.


I have watched it many times since since I was a child, and I still have to watch it from behind the sofa, even though I'm a big boy of 23 years.

 

[Hamletmaschine]

The scene at the end of Sleepless in Seattle. All that weepy, syrupy, saccharine-y goo made me feel like I'd been slimed like one of the Ghostbusters.

 

[Avery_Chisholm]

does any1 have nitemares' with freddy in them?

children on the corn scared the jeepers' out of me needless 2 say I've only seen it like 1 time in my life.
freddy krueger of course.
the part in the exorcist 3 where there in the hospital and for 1 split second a very demonic virgin mary flashes' across the screen Eeek
and finally angel eyes with mickey rourke and a demoic robbie de niro and at the end where he's on the elevator and it just keeps' going down and down and down me and my dad were discussing this whole devil thingy and he was like maybe that's what happens' Eeek

 

[SilverVeil]

I am a big sissy.

I do not like being scared. I watched Resident Evil last weekend and I screamed during the movie. It is not so much the gore and all.... it is the suspense leading up to it. I was so wound up, I had to leave the theatre for about 15 minutes to calm down. My legs were so tense I was shaking.

My friends all thought it was hysterical. I DID finish the movie. But it did freak me out in a few places.


( will someone hold my hand now please ? )

 

[xMorganx]

Not necessacarly the scene but the sound... The "REE REE REE" sound from psycho still freaks me out

 

[RawHumor]

I'd say about half the scenes in Halloween.

 

[doctor_insanus]

I'd say the last twenty minutes or so of Seven.

Just a grueling, inexorable buildup. You know something horrible is going to happen... you're just not sure exactly what it will be.

( will someone hold my hand now please ? )

I'll hold your hand Silver, my boyfriend's trying to drag me to see it.

I just say Nu' uh!

I know my own limitations, and I surely can't handle Resident Evil. Even the games scare me.

 

[The Touch]

RL vs. Fiction

The shower scene. No, not Psycho... Scarface.

You know, interrogation via chainsaw.
The reality of seeing this kind of mindless violence on the big screen, knowing that the same kind of mindless violence exists "out there".

What are the chances?

Slimy space Aliens using me as an incubator?
'bout as much chance as Sigourny Weaver showing up at my door wearing a pair of heels and a smile.

Some wannabe Coke/Crack Baron waging war in my town? OK, less now that I'm in the relative boonies... but living in Metro NY? Look for the
houses with cement blocks for windows, and tricked out Nissans/Acuras/SUVs out front.
Like Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn... only don't be surprised to find the same thing in Newburg, Albany, Waterbury, or... any small city in the country.
It's there, and the movie? Too real.

The scene in the first Jaws when the guys head pops through the hole in the bottom of the boat,

I was sitting between my sister and our cousin in the theater for that one. I still have finger nail marks in both arms.
