Tubular Bells because of the association.

11. The jump scare in "Wait Until Dark."

If you've seen it you'll know exactly the moment I'm talking about.

The scene in "Night of the Hunter" where we see Shelley Winter dead in the river with her hair streaming like the seaweed.

In "Don't Look Now," where the little girl in the red raincoat turns around and she's... something else.

The remake of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" where Donald Sutherland points and screams.

27. Tippi Hedren

38. 😱

[Niagara]

28. The 1979 Amityville House Tour scene

Where George and Kathy Lutz tour the previous DeFoe house that's for sale and the movie flashes back to the murders during the house tour.


It's scary because it actually happened in real life.


I don't believe that there's anything wrong with the house itself. I believe that George and Kathy couldn't afford the mortgage and made stuff up to make money off the house. It's also rumored that Kathy use to say incantations but I don't have proof of that.


Butch DeFoe's attorneys were looking for a insanity defense as well.

49. I am a horror fan.

I used to handle the decorations and candy duties by the time I was 13 (considered too old to go out for 'TorT' at the time) and always had a complete blast scaring the kids who came to the door. At 15 I did my first 'professional' haunted house and by 18 I had created two of them myself.

Only one movie has ever given me nightmares, as in I actually felt afraid in the dream. That was the one ranked number two on the 'Bravo Top 100 Scariest Movie Moments Of All Time'. (Bull, but I digress. 'Jaws' was ranked first and that is a tough one to dispute.)

52. Back in college

my girl friend and I went to see Alien when it first came out. Afterwards, around 11:00 pm, I dropped her off and went to my place.

And right there, in the middle of the living room carpet, were two small black beetle-like bugs. I didn't even try to figure out what they were, I just went for the vacuum cleaner.

That was the only time I ever saw bugs in that apartment.
