100 Scariest movie moments

Not a bad list, but only one of those actually gives me chills while sitting here looking at the thumbnails...

The only one of those to give me real nightmares was the salem's lot one. Maybe that's because as a kid I had a huge window at the foot of my bed.

Ah, God! Number 52, the girl in the closet from The Ring - yeah, that came back on me for weeks. That was a fun list, but conspicously missing were the freakish "doctors" from Jacob's Ladder, which had to be one of the scariest cinematic sequences ever.

And honestly, was anyone ever scared during the Evil Dead movies?

#54, The Changeling.

One of my favorite movies, but the site got the scariest scene wrong! George C. Scott is sick of the ghost messing with him by rolling his dead daughter's toy ball to his feet, so he drives and drives and throws the ball over a bridge into a river. When he comes back in the front door, a sound bounces down the dark stairway. George backs against the door as the ball comes into sight in the murky light and rolls again to his feet. Goosebumps galore!

Looking through the list now. Some I have seen, some I have heard about and some "new" ones. Great list!

I'm a huge horror fan, but it takes a lot to really scare me. It's been years since a new movie did the trick. Psychological thrillers are much scarier to me than blood & gore, but Giger's art (on its own) is pretty unnerving.

The only movie mentioned on that site that had me under the covers (peeking out) was The Shining, with Psycho coming in a close second.
