What is your "Scariest Movie Moment" ever?!

SUPERMAN 3, when Vera gets dragged into the supercomputer and transformed into a robot. That scene haunted my entire childhood. The white eyes, the silence. Oh god.

CHIMERA, a TV drama released in the early 90s in the UK. It was about this genetically engineered ape/man thing which escaped from the science labs and began murdering in the rural countryside. That freaked me out too.

^ This!! OMG this!! It scared me to death!!

The damn Keyboard playing Gorilla from the Showbiz Pizza band Rock-afire Explosion also scared me to death! Every time the curtains opened I swear he would growl at me and his eyes would glow red!

That scene is Superman 3 was soooooo out of place too! It was as if the director had the day off and some sadistic crazy guy took over!

The whole movie is stupid/funny and then there's THAT SCENE and then back to stupid/funny. It freaked me out so much as a kid- I used to have nightmares about the robot fighting Superman only scarier and bloodier than in the movie
 
Great ones everyone! So fun to read!

Here are some of mine..

-Poltergeist 2, The worm/crawling skeleton bed demon thing that crawls on its nubs across the floor, turns, and smiles.. holy crap.. i nearly ripped my eyes out.. still gets me.

-Fluffy from creepshow, always a good one!

-Halloween - all of that movie, and most carpenter flicks.. but mostly the scene one of you mentioned when laurie is pounding on the door, and then later, when michael sits up in the background and the music cue hits.. sldkfjsdlfjslkdf..

-Ghostbusters 2.. the damn ghost mink coat or whatever it was.. it reminded me of sneaking into the living room one night when I was 5 or so, and watching.. i think it was called "GNAW" or something from behind the couch.. all I know is i was scared of fur coats and stuff for a looongg time.. wtf right?

God, i could go on forever.. but those are just some fun ones that pop into my head!
 
Ooooh Ghostbusters 2, that reminds me-- the scene where the three of them go into the abandoned railroad and encounter the heads on spikes? THAT was scary! Too much for my 5 year old self to handle!


....almost ;)
 
Not really scariest moment as such, but any time I see this face, especially those eyes, on screen, I'm pretty much ready to change my pants..

That's all you got? :lol

Man, I heard about the EXCORCIST for 30 years before I saw it. It's Linda Blair... she might puke on me... throw some toys at me telekinetically....

But Bruce?

Might have something to do with the age of traumatization. That Glick kid hung in my brain back in the 70s. Slept with a crucifix for weeks! :lol

It ain't what she could DO to you it's her effed-up face and voice. Anyway that film scares me even before she gets possessed. Even the stuff with Von Sydow in the Middle East craps me up. And when she wets the floor and tells that astronaut 'you're gonna die up there.' ARRRGGHH! Lemme outa here!
 
Fear! I guess it would be from Scream. Why it scares me? At the whole "I'm In your House" moment, my ***** cousin shut the power off from the breaker. Then he put on the Ghostface garb and called my house from his cell. I was walking through my kitchen, when he came walking with a plastic butcher knife ( Hey, it was Very Realistic looking) towards me. My response? Run almost half a mile to the nearby McDonald's and pretty much hide for half an hour. ( Hey, I was ten at the time.) . Well, at least I got Revenge...
 
Ju-On, when the girl is driving away in her car and can hear the cat meow and the kid ends up being right underneath her feet! Also, in Ju-On 2 the part where the wig comes alive....I love J-Horror.
 
Not much really bothers me, but there are two scenes, one each from the first two Poltergeist movies; that damn clown from the first, and that creepy old guy, from the second.

Other than that, I can handle all of the gore, psycho, mutant, ghosts, aliens and whetever else you've got, with no problem. I guess it's because my my cousins used to watch Halloween and Friday the 13th, when I'd go to visist, and I couldn't have been more than 6 or 7, at the time. They were just the movies I grew up with.

That's not to say that there aren't things that give me the willies, but that hardly lasts longer than the movie/show. But those two I mentioned up top, those creeped me out for years. Still hate clown and creepy old people ;) :lol

The Part in Polanski's "The Fearless Vampire Killers" when this Quasimodo goes behind the Wolf and come back with all blood on his mouth !!! I really was to young to see this
 
When the first "ALIEN" movie was in the theater (1978), we went EVERY sunday afternoon for several months and sat in the first three rows. At each and every 'shock' scene, we would turn around to watch the other patrons faces react with shock and horror. I still LOVE that movie!
 
Got you all beat! ;)

When I was 12 years old, my family went to visit relatives in Pennsylvania. Rural Pennsylvania. They were all going to a concert at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, but I got a stomach illness so I stayed at home.

So I was left all alone in a family FARMHOUSE in Pennsylvania. Back in those days, on Friday nights, the local television channels would run HORROR movies, with some sort of 'horror host'. Since I was just visiting PA, I don't really remember who the famous TV Horror Hosts of the 1970s were.

But the movie I decided to watch was the network premiere of "NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD" (the original version in B&W).

So imagine you're alone in a PA farmhouse (like in the movie)....
It's night in PA (like in the movie).....
You're 12 years old ......

And there are windows ..... everywhere......... (can't board them up)....

As a kicker, my folks suffered a flat tire on the way back and didn't return until morning.

You youngsters don't realize that back then, when the late MOVIE ended, the channels played the Star Spangled banner and signed off. Everything ended. No Internet, NO cell phones, no Video library, No DVDs, nothing.

:D
 
Hahaha, got a kick out of reading the last five pages. The blood test scene from The Thing (1982) scared the crap outta me.

When I was a kid, I freaked out while watching The Last Starfighter for the first time late at night. It was that scene when the beta unit was metamorphosing under the covers...that scene was forever burned into my memory.
