Movie Moments that will ALWAYS Freak You Out... - Page 2

Irreversible - The rape.

Event Horizon - "Save yourselves from hell..."

Trainspotting - Dead baby

Blair Witch Project - Most of the film is total shit. But fuck, the last 5 minutes still get me.

For me, it was when she turned to the younger priest.... Father Karras?....and he saw his dead mother and heard her speaking to him. The head-spin was gruesome, but that scene was just pointed and personal. The essence of evil.

Last few moments of Blair Witch seconded whole-heartedly.

When Naomi Watts is hiding inside the rotten tree trunk in PJ's King Kong and those giant insects start crawling over her? Yeeeeech! I'm not even THAT creeped out my insects, but that scene made my skin crawl.

Also, I had NO idea that Pan's Labyrinth was so violent and gory. So, there was no warning for my friends who almost ran out of the room during two or three scenes.

Also, I walked out right before the monkey scene in Cannibal Holocaust under the pretense that I was gonna get something from the fridge, but the truth was that I knew what was coming and honestly didn't wanna see it. The shell-shocked look on the faces of my friends made me not regret it. I sat through everything else of the movie, though.

Off-Topic: I'm desperate for a movie that will really freak out my friends. They're always asking me to get a movie that will leave us sleepless. The closest we've come is the original Evil Dead, but they're really not that susceptible to 70's or 80's movies (I almost got throttled for making them watch The Howling). Any help?

Have they already seen early Cronenberg films? The Brood is pretty damn nasty.

The only Cronenberg movie I've seen is A History of Violence and The Fly... THEY haven't seen The Fly, though... hmmmmm...

Edit: They don't seem to be want to be grossed out, just genuinely creeped and spooked out.

The second I saw this topic, I thought American History X curb stomp action.

As to a film to fuck with your friends, I would say Audition will do the trick. Although it is gross. But you wanna get fucked with? Audition.

Event Horizon is a safer choice, but still gets under your skin.

If you want to get mentally fucked with, Todd Solondz's Storytelling leaves a gross oily taint on your brain. Happiness too, for that matter. And of course Kids and Gummo, but I'd skip those ones.

The Fly gives you both - it's gross and creepy, a good combo. Geena Davis giving birth to the giant maggot is one of the most unsettling things they'll ever see in a movie.

Another one that just freaks me out everytime? In The Lost Boys when the vampires attack the gang of bikers, and Keifer bites into the one bald biker's head like an apple. The *crunching* sound creeps me out and gives me the shivers every time I've ever seen that movie.

Other shit that gets me -

Yep, the final scene in Blair Witch really works.

Also, inexplicably, the horse going ape-shit in The Ring. A horse going apeshit is bad enough, but the way it smashes into the barrier before falling into the river and drowning fucked me up when I first saw it. Still gets me when it starts kicking the side of the trailer, cos I know what's coming.

Audition's pretty great, mostly because of the noise she makes when she gets down to business. But the "shape" suddenly squirming all over the place is pure creepiness becuase its the first sign that something is really amiss with this girl. That, and the fact that its really loud and really creepy.

Mellish's death in Saving Private Ryan. The whole fight is pretty bad, what with them rolling over the guy dying with the throat wound and everything, but the way Mellish begs him to wait and how the German just shushes him as he slowly drives the knife into his chest, yikes.

Seconded - very hard to watch, and I've seen this film about 10 times.

Last time I really started cringing was during "Hostel" -the scenes with the Japanese girl... damn.

Videodrome...I've seen that movie freak out the unitiated more than most anything else by Cronenberg. And if its straight weirdness (more than horror) that'll do the trick, Naked Lunch or Gummo work pretty well...altho I know a lot of people who simply hate the latter. For straight horror, I think the Descent is scarier than most things I've seen, tho it rates fairly low on the gore factor.

The end of Audition is quite the shocker, but I sorta think the movie's boring up until that point.

I'm surprised that no one mentioned anything from Kairo (the original Pulse), which has a higher saturation of freak out moments than any other film. The most disturbing moment is the famous 'stumbling ghost' scene. I can't think of another scene in recent history that creeped me out as much as that one did.

Never really heard much about that film...I'll have to check it out.

Off-topic (mostly): Has anyone seen or does anyone know about the sequel to Suicide Club? I guess its coming out here but some friends and I were scratching our heads at what it could be...

Watch it in an empty house at night. Far better that way.

Aren't all the best freaky movies?

I find this statement kind of odd. I always kinda figured that in order for the last scenes of BWP to work, you need to have been absorbed by the previous scenes that built to it.

Here's the one that freaked me out in my youth:

Last Starfighter... the dude that takes Alex Rogan's place... while he's still turning into the clone of Rogan and he's all pale without proper skin and his face is puffing in and out.

The scene at the lake in Zodiac. It was creepy enough seeing it projected in a theater, but it's even worse watching it at home...by yourself...at 2 in the morning.

Yeah, that whole scene is brutal even before Zodiac shows up just because you absolutely know that these two innocent kids are fucking doomed. And somehow it being broad daylight makes it that much worse.

I can't remember if I've told me "The Ring" story on here or not, but here goes. So, I watched the movie with my mom. I already knew from the previews that after they watched the tape the phone would ring, so I had my cell phone in my pocket, and right after the phone rang in the movie, I dialed my mom's phone to fuck with her, and of course it worked brilliantly. All in all I thought the movie was pretty creepy, especially Samara's fucked up walk, and coming out of the TV screen.
Fast forward three days later, I wake up in the middle of the night and have to piss. I stumble into my bathroom, take care of business, and as I'm washing my hands, I look into the mirror just in time to catch blood dripping out of my nose, just like the characters in the movie. Not fucking cool.
Fast forward two more days, I get home from work around 9. My apartment is empty, as my roommate is still at work. I'm changing in my room, when out of the corner of my eye, I see a flash of light in my roommate's otherwise dark room (the door was left open). I stare across the hall for a second, waiting for it to happen again, and as soon as I turn my head away again, I catch the flash! I'm thinking "What the fuck was that? Lightning?" and then I catch the flash while looking into his room this time, and realize the light is coming from his computer monitor. I walk into his room, almost somewhat hypnotized, and for some reason, I don't bother to turn on the light, so there I am, in the dark, staring at his computer monitor that has started to flash static at irregular intervals. I start to think maybe his monitor has gone on some sort of weird fritz, until a grainy video image of a well appears on the screen. My eyes lock open, and refuse to shut. Two pale hands reach out of the well, followed by a tangle of long black hair. My heart pretty much stops. Samara pulls herself out of the well, and begins to lurch at me at her terrifying pace. I can feel the scream in the back of my throat. Right before my bodily functions decide to give up for good, the words "The Ring: Screensaver." pop up on the screen, with credits to the designer shortly following.

I almost fucking killed my roommate. Goddamned brilliant on his side though.

The scene in "Darkman" where Durant cut's off the dudes fingers with the cigar cutter.

Ezra Cobb in the rocking chair with the skin mask on in Deranged.

The scene in Mission: Impossible 2 where they rip off that scene from Darkman. And then, later on, when they rip off another scene from Darkman. I thought that was pretty terrifying.

The person behind the dumpster. Something about the music and the movement of the camera, the whole buildup is genius assholery.

LYNCH.

I'm gonna say the whole Brundlefly losing fingernails/squirting puss into the mirror scene, for me.

"Am I dying?"

Great movie.

I just have to say that Darkman is probably the worst movie I've ever spent money watching. Fuck you internet. Way to invest your collective hopes in a preterm, cheap, hokey, all-round shitty superhero movie.

I'll forgive you for that.

The scene in "Misery" when Jimmy Caan gets his ankles broke is quite an eye-squinter.

One more: when they find Sloth in Se7en. "You got what you deserved..." and then BAM!

Never seen an audience flip out more than at that moment. Fincher has built up such a freaky, nail-biting atmosphere at that point, anything would have made people jump out of their seats. So what does he give us? An emaciated almost-corpse choking and flopping around mindlessly. Grotesque. Freaky. And totally awesome.

That one scene in "Pee Wee's Playhouse" where the freaky doctors are operating on the bicycle messed me up as a kid. And by "kid" I mean "21".

Pee Wee Herman freaked me out as a kid period. And by "kid" I mean "35".

Ditto on the bike scene from Pee Wee. Let's not forget Large Marge.

Aw you guys beat me to it. I still can't watch that scene where her face goes all claymation.

As for The Blair Witch Project, it was the very last scene where the girl's camera catches a few quick moments of the guy standing in the corner (and then she gets knocked down) that fucked. me. up. I had to sleep in my mother's room for two nights.

I hate Chucky. Haaaaaate him. I can't even look at a My Buddy doll without getting the creeping willies. I was at a New Year's Eve party with my parents when I was probably just shy of six. All the kids were playing video games in the basement when one of older kids decided to pop in a VHS of Child's Play and presto! Instantly scarred for life.

The heart being stabbed in Susperia.

The tree, the clown, the face peeling, and just about everything else in Poltergeist.

The cockroaches in Creepshow (thanks for that phobia Steve and George!).

And lastly, the ending of Don't Look Now which almost hospitalized me and ruined a perfectly good pair of drawers.

Oh, and when Belloq exclaims "It's beautiful!" in Raiders and one of the spirits transforms into a hideous demon before his eyes - yeah, that fucked with me BIG time as a kid.

For me it has to be "An American Werewolf in London". The scene where the werewolf in human form is inside the movie theater talking to his victims. Everyone in the theater I was in turned and looked around at the same time. Think it scared the hell out of all of us. But most just laughed as we were caught looking.

The scene with Elizabeth Pena being very penetrated by that...thing...in Jacob's Ladder.

And yes, the bear suit shot in The Shining always gets me.

"JEEsus...wept...heh.."

In The Mouth of Madness; the old man chained up at the old lady's feet behind the counter. I turned it off right then, too scary for my twelve year-old brain.

After just once, I can never watch the ending of Dead Man's Shoes ever again.

Eduard Delacroix's execution in the Green Mile

I saw The Fugitive in the theatre. That night had the most horrible fucking dream about the guy with the prosthetic arm. Still freaks my shit.

In The Bodyguard, there's a scene where Costner's on the phone with the FBI and they're interrogating the albino stalker with long hair. The guy's sitting there staring and all starts yelling NO, NO, NO, NO!!
That part just crawled into me the first time as a kid.

28 Days Later. Jim stumbles upon bodies in the church. He lets out a gasp.
2 zombies just sit up and stare at him, with their mouths wide open. Just their look

The imperial drone in Empire Strikes Back did and always will bug me - its creepy design, all arachnid, gliding along on claws that looked very unpleasant to the touch, its constant spewing of weird gibberish transmissions (*ASEEDASALASIDIT*), the way its scenes were filled with menace and ill portent, as if the fucker wasn't just spying on the rebels, it was gonna murder them all in especially gruesome fashion... the most satisfying moment for me in that flick is when it's blown to smithereens.

Fuck me, I saw Pee Wee's Big Adventure again(And was reminded about how great it is), and Large Marge is still frightening

The Fly. The dream sequence of the birth.

I saw that film in the theater four times, and that sequence made the audience seriously uncomfortable every time.

GOD DAMNIT. You just had to post the thumbnail didn't you! Now I won't get a good nights sleep for another month or two.. *intense shivering*

Seriously, I must have seen that movie too young or something.. Zelda is freaking burned into my psyche as the scariest thing that could ever exist..

And Minsky.. other than the above Pet Semetary scene, KAIRO was the other ace up my sleeve.. very nice call.. the stumbling ghost and a few other parts were intense as HELL. A Tale of Two Sisters had a few good ones in there too, if I recall..

Edit: If I'm going down, I'm taking some people with me

You're not aware of the damage that last pic can cause, there's got to be limits... have you no soul?

Third one to the far right at the top - that's the maggot baby, isn't it?

Actually, I believe that's from The Fly II. This is the maggot baby...

I can't remember the name of the film, might've been House of Usher but it was at the end, someone was trapped in a spider's web and you saw the spider slowly creeping up on the person who was wrapped up in webbing. You hear the person screaming just as the spider's just about to eat him, Vincent Price destroys the web along with the spider. That scene is burned into my memory as a kid, it's just horrifying. It might've been an episode of the twilight zone, I'm really not sure.

The brief flash of Satan in The Exorcist when the lights switch off for a second.
