For Halloween: Favorite Moments from Scary Movies

[darklinensuit]

I'm one of the few who didn't find "The Shining" at all scary (Shelley Duvall annoyed the crap out of me so I rooted for the axeman), & "The Ring" & "Ghost Story bored me to tears. I mean no disrespect, I know I'm in the minority with these opinions.
Here's another one that I laughed at from start to finish:



Wish I'd found the "Hot!...Hot!...Hot..." scene clip.

I was young when The Shining came out in the theaters (12 years old, to be exact). A perfect age to be scarred for life by those damn little girls.

The book The Exorcist scared the **** out of me moreso than the movie. The part when Regan walks crablike in a backbend down the stairs gave me the shivers and I don't remember seeing that part in the movie?

Another scary scene for me was in the first Nightmare on Elm Street when thegirl sees her friend in the boday bag at school. God, that tortured me. Silly movie, but the concept was creepy- don't go to sleep! What can I say, I was 16 when that film came out.

For me, the scariest scenes are the creepy ones. A horror movie I LOVED was Stir of Echoes. Very little gore, but lots of creepiness.

The first time I ever babysat I was 15 & the two kids were upstairs asleep. I choose THIS moment to watch WASC on cable (Can you say BAD IDEA?). Twenty minutes into the movie, right as the cops tell Carol Kane to get out, she runs to unlatch the door, the shadow moves towards her, she opens the door, & there's a HUGE guy standing there...And suddenly, where I am, the power goes out in the whole neighborhood. I sat next to the TV in pitch-black, afraid to move for 30 minutes. Then suddenly the power comes back on in a burst of sound and light, & I'm face-to-face with Colleen Dewhurst's skullface & booming voice (Talk about somebody who made Stevie sound like a soprano by comparison). I just about needed a change of underwear.

Audrey Rose! Well, back then it was pretty disturbing! I rented it a while back and it was pretty lame!
