Movie scene that freaked you out the most?

I think it was also Pet Sematary, but for me, that scene where a guy is standing next to a bed, and whatever is under the bed slashes his achilles tendon with a razor blade.

I was leaping away from my bed for a week after that.

It was Pet Semetary. It was Gage under the bed. And that’s one of the worst scenes ever for me.

I have a very strong stomach. I’ve seen some pretty nasty things and I’m rarely bothered. But, slashing the achilles tendon always gets me. That same thing, but in Hostel, was the only scene in that movie to get to me.

My other problem is that I can’t stand most children. Kids creep me out. I have a hard time watching movies with kids as the bad guys. I actually get creeped out by regular kids in regular movies. I’ve met very few children in real life that I was actually comfortable being around. Kids are creepy (evil incarnate hiding behind cute faces).

So, that one scene in Pet Semetary really bothers me.

Crap, someone took Event Horizon. I’ll pick Communion with Christopher Walken. There’s this part when he’s in bed next to his sleeping wife and suddenly he knows he’s not alone. He looks over at a piece of furniture and there’s this classic bighead alien just sort of watching him from behind it. Walken’s like, “Who is that. Is that someone there?” The thing doesn’t say anything, it just keeps watching him. That gave me a nightmare.

Ha! Beat cha to Communion, too.

The one that really got to me was at the end of Poltergeist, when the little boys is in his room, trying to go to sleep. He hears a noise, looks over at the clown doll on the chair, looks away for a moment, and then looks back. The clown doll is gone. He leans over and sloooowly looks under the bed. No clown. He sits back up and the (now-evil) clown doll leaps up from the side of the bed and drags him under.
I never really liked clowns to start with, and that scene just cemented my dislike even further. Clowns are scary!

Dude!! How about when that guy started ripping his own face off?
Also, the cockroach scene from Creepshow.
The scene in The Ring on the ferry where the horse goes ape-shit and takes off over the side freaked me out
In Alien Resurection, I found the hybrid alien at the end very…disturbing.
When that chick cut that infected dudes hand off in the original Day of the Dead. Really that whole movie freaked me out.

Pet Sematary - the part where Louis is half sleeping and sees Pascow in the doorway, turns over and then back again, and Pascow is face to face with him. It scarred my childhood brain for years.

House of Wax, a completely horrible movie anyway (the only perk was watching Paris Hilton get whacked). The thing that got me though was when the girl is being held captive in the basement of the service station and tries to get her boyfriends attention by wiggling her finger through the grate…and the bad guy snips it off at the knuckle with what looked like bolt cutters. That freaked me the hell out.

Two scenes from The Last King of Scotland really screwed me up. The first is where we see the king’s wife lying on a hospital slab with her legs sewn into where her arms should have been, and her arms sewn into where her legs should have been. We had to rewind several times before we fully understood what was going on there.

The second was when the doctor gets hung up by his nipples. shudder

The achilles tendon is your achilles heel.

I still have visions of one of the metal globes in Phantasm which (IIRC, I could never watch it again) flew up to a guy, drilled into his forehead, and then sucked all of his head-fluids out and ejected them out the back of the sphere. Just, ugh.

The Shining—“Come play with us, Danny.” Those little girls kept me up at night for a week after I watched that movie for the first time.

Heh. I slept through the night from birth until the evening I saw The Shining. I was 12 and had to have Mom come sleep with me.

Misery–yeah, I couldn’t watch the foot scene because I had been completely freaked out by the book version.

Reservoir Dogs --ear scene and “What cop? This cop?”

Silence of the Lambs --pulling the ?? out of the dead girl’s throat

:eek: He DID that to her? In real life? God…what happened to her?

The scene from *Saving Private Ryan * (where Adam Goldberg’s character is knifed slowly) was reminiscent of a scene in the beginning of the movie Relentless, starring Judd Nelson. I can remember Judd Nelson’s character telling the victim as the knife is going in some variation of “Doesn’t that feel better?”.

The scene that’s stuck out for me was the little girl getting blown away in John Carpenter’s Assault on Precinct 13. I saw that as a kid and I was just shocked.

Most recently, there’s a very hard to watch scene in Dario Argento’s Master of Horror episode Pelts where Meatloaf (yes, Bat Out of Hell Meatloaf) dresses out his upper torso in one fell swoop.

[Elendil_s_Heir]

The reporter getting squashed by the toppled gargoyle in Hot Fuzz. Completely took me by surprise and appalled me in its (gratuitous, IMHO) ooginess.

The snake sliding out of the mummy’s mouth in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The staring, self-mutilated Kroenen in Hellboy.

That floating lake monster thing from “The Raft”, one of the scenes from Creepshow. These kids are trapped on a raft while a sentient evil oil slick tries to eat them - I never wanted to swim in a lake again. And then you think the one guy got away but it turns out the sentient evil oil slick can reach.

From the same movie (I think), “The Hitchhiker”. A lady who’s on her way home from cheating on her husband runs over a hitchhiker and tries to leave the scene, but he keeps following her, and she keeps running him over, and he keeps showing up again climbing up over her hood looking even more bloody and gross, groaning, “Thanks for the ride, lady…”

It’s been twenty years since I saw that and my brain still insists on replaying it for me whenever I’m driving alone at night.

That’s Creepshow 2.

[Rebo]

That’s Stephen King, too.

I’ve seen a lot of these, and they scared me, but nothing compares to the Passion of the Christ. That absolutely freaked me out, especially when the ends of the cat o’nine tails or whatever would catch in the muscle and rip out… I was sobbing.

[Smid]

The “Dude!” “Sweet!” exchange in Dude Wheres My Car.

It disturbed me that someone was being paid for writing that…

Seriously, ok someones done Audition and Saving Private Ryan already.

• Cat tied to chair in Bad Boy Bubby. Horrible. Probably not real, but looks as if it could be.
• The old bodies in Wolf Creek when the girl is tied up. Its basically showing how much he’s got away with things before it.

In Alien Resurection, I found the hybrid alien at the end very…disturbing.

I never saw the whole movie, just the last 20 minutes or so of it. Yeah, that pale, flesh-colored alien was nasty. And the way it died was very, very icky.

I once tried to watch John Carpenter’s The Thing, but I couldn’t take much of it. The dog in the kennel scene at the beginning horrified me too much (I can’t stand to see animals hurt in movies), and I understand it got much worse than that.

I guess I’m too wimpy to watch most horror movies!

[WOOKINPANUB]

Tom Hanks knocking out his own tooth in CastAway. Interesting movie, but I could not bear to ever watch that scene again.

[Hazle_Weatherfield]

Anytime in Halloween (the original) that Michael Myers’ face appears.

Burnt Offerings: anytime the driver of the hearse appears.

If I have one from The Thing, it would be the head oozing off the neck then growing eyestalks an skittering away like a crab.
