Spine-tingling moments... **spoilers**

[bbgun]

The Original Salems Lot movie, when the kid's friend came back as a Vampire and was scratching at his window saying "open the window, Mark". There were a couple of scenes in that movie that gave me tha heebidy jeebidies (I guess that was expected since I was only about seven at the time I saw it).

Yep, that scene spooked me as well. Also, when the cemetery worker jumped into the grave and opened the kid's coffin.

True that. I know that the younger generation now aren't very impressed with the vomiting pea soup scenes, but at that time they were scary as hell.

Still the scariest to me, all these years later. The music alone is unnerving.

The letters will probably spell out 18th hole and on another part of his body. :laugh2:

Poor Bob. There's a Little Nicky inside him and no one will show him an ounce of pity. :laugh2:

It's very understated, but the music score from John Carpenter's The Thing comes close to The Exorcist. It doesn't receive a lot of credit, but the score from the original Halloween isn't half-bad either.

The thing is another that had some wild effects in it, sure some of it was cheesy looking but still pretty intense for it's time compared to some stuff today.

As did one of my favorite movies of all time, Alien. It was packed full of those spine-tingling moments and for it's time the effects were outstanding.

The Blair Witch Project at the end of the movie where she was running around in the old house and found the dude standing turned in the corner. That was a little spooky to me.

That movie gets kind of a bad rap, but I dug it.
I watched it again recently and when you get past the docu-interview business going on, it gets creepy.

Being in the woods at night is creepy enough and I can relate.

:shoot6: <--me

Forgot all about Alien. The scene in the escape pod when Ripley realizes that the alien has hidden itself inside it with her. Excellent example.

 

[Tusan_Homichi]

The freeing of Morpheus in the original Matrix...specifically the escape from the crashing helicopter.

When the little sister in A League of Their Own hits the ball at the end of the movie.

When the fake Johnny Five gets blown up by the helicopter in Short Circuit...or at least it used to when I was young.

Oh hell yes. That entire sequence of events was just crazy the first time you got to see it. I also got it again at the end of the movie when Neo stops all the bullets. Jeez. That was such a great movie when it came out. I will never forget seeing it the first time in the theater.

One of my bad traits is to laugh during a horror picture which isn't scary to me. I got sucked when the previews came out for Blair Witch and I did make it through the whole movie' but by the look in their eyes, people around me wished that I had left before the end.

I'm just wired wrong, because when that scene came and the camera hit the ground sideways still focused on the guy in the corner, I howled. I admit it. I'm just wrong.

I had that laughing at the wrong moment experience only twice in my life and it was the same movie: Slingblade. I saw it twice in the theater and when Dwight Yoakam goes off on the guy in the wheel chair and wheels him into the door I laughed hard. Very hard. I had to wipe my nose and eyes.

People were staring at me like I was nuts.

I came very close to walking out of that movie due to sheer boredom. The payoff was kinda nice, but it didn't make up for the previous 90 minutes.

Finally! A fellow Blair Witch-advocate!

Thank you, VTA.

I just could not get into the blair witch project.

Just found it too annoying and not a bit scary.

Must be the hillbilly in me.:laugh2:

Speaking of hillbilly.

I think the freakiest thing I ever saw was the episode of the X-Files with the inbreeding family and the mother on that creeper/roller under the bed. That scene just freaked me out.

You should see me on bath night. Puts X-Files to shame.

I have the same problem but it's not limited to horror films.

I will give you an example.

I don't know if you've seen it but I watched The Truman Show (not a great movie) back in the day with a friend. There is this part where he figures it all out (that his life was a tv show) and he makes a run for it on a boat. It's a pivotal part in the movie and everybody else thought it was very emotional. The problem is he run straight into the backdrop (the painted scenery that looks like the horizon) for the show. I busted out laughing so hard i didn't realize that noone else found it funny. Everybody else was very sad.

screw you guys...

 

[Aikmaniac]

To keep with Bob's theme, the scene in Saving Private Ryan when the German and one of the guys are wrestling with the knife...still gets me


However, the original Halloween has some of the greatest spine tingling moments...including this one.
