Some great scares already mentioned (Sodako coming out the TV in Ringu, The moving sack in Audition) but for me there are few stand outs that have stayed with me. First is in the exorcist when Father Karras is listening to tapes of the demon talking and telephone rings! for some reason it made me jump out of my skin everytime I've seen the film (even though now I know it's coming).

The second is a scene from twin peaks season 2. When agent Cooper is dancing with Annie and he says something like "will you be my queen of hearts" - everything stops, the room goes black and the giant appears on stage, furiously waving his arms and mouthing the word "noooooooo". Freaks me out everytime I see it.

Also the detective being attacked on the stairs in Psycho and Vera Miles finding "Mrs Bates".

Several scenes in "Inside" made me jump out of my seat.

The "Old Lady" scene in REC

Apart from some of the ones mentioned which I agree with, I'm Surprised there's been no mention of anything from Black Swan yet. The one that sticks in my mind though is when she's in her bedroom and her legs just crack and bend forward. So fucking insane! When I saw that at the cinema I couldn't believe what I was watching. Winona Ryder stabbing herself in the face repeatedly was one of the most horrific things I can remember seeing as well.

Woman In Black had a couple of 'Jesus Christ!' jump moments, mainly the hand print appearing on the window and then the screaming face reflection.

Didn't think much of the film as a whole, but the woman getting dragged out of bed and down the hall in Paranormal Activity was really scary.

I actually thought that was one of the weakest scares in the whole film. Simply because of the cheapness of it. The rocking chair had me shitting bricks. Luckily though I went to see it with a girl and she was even more terrified than I was, so I just tried to laugh at her to mask my fear.

I thought it was a decent film for the first two thirds, but it all goes downhill and gets stupid o nice the old woman puts the gas mask on.

I went to see it with two friends who are pretty easy to scare. I sat between them and at one point one was hiding behind her popcorn and the other had closed her hoodie over her face. The second one still can't listen to Tiptoe Through the Tulips without getting freaked out.

There are so few horrors these days that genuinely scare me, but something about Insidious just freaks me out. I think it's something to do with the atmosphere; it's not just dark, it's evil, and it hangs there throughout the whole film. Also it's not overloaded with jump scares, but the ones that are there work really well (like the crib scene). The only criticism I have was the brief descent into Jeepers Creepers territory with the demon in the workshop, that was silly... But apart from that it's pant-shittingly great

I agree. I think the scares are done pretty well. I think films like that are also creepier when there are children in danger. Kids in horror films are usually evil little things, so when there are kids in genuine danger it's a little scarier I think.

I do agree about the end, too. It suffered from the same thing a lot of horrors suffer from, which is that when they fully show you the demon/ghost/monster etc, the fear factor diminishes.

figure with Giant scissors coming out of hospital room in excorcist 3- in my opinion without a doubt the most freakish, scary, creepy scene in any movie

I love a good fright!
Loved horror films years ago,sadly they all seem teen orientated these days!
Asian horror provides genuine scares-The Ring and Dark Water.
Paranormal Activity 2 had some unnerving scenes.
The ending of The Others a few years back was pretty cool.
What Lies Beneath had a few moments.
Dario Argento's stuff is a bit more gory than scary-quality though.

Same here, even the second time I watched it. It's a good scared-feeling though, constant dread feeling, but somehow kinda great.

Also the crib scene should go up there amongst the very best.

I didn't particularly rate Insidious, but this bit scared the shit out of me.

When she just jumped for the camera, it scared me.

Yeah, just a downright shit scary film.

I honestly expected a cut away for this one, but no. Made me jump because of the shock of it.

Just seen the two [REC] films and the bit towards the beginning of the first one where the fireman's body lands behind the main characters was a real '"FUCK!" moment.

And because I hate spiders, the start of Eight-Legged Freaks before they grow. Yech.
