**Carrie** - The old “hand popping out of the grave” bit didn’t seem as tired back then.

**The Wicker Man** (Original version, of course) - “JESUS CHRIST!!!”

**The Haunting** (Original version again), and thanks to Shirley Jackson’s awesome book - “…silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.”
