For me it was Carrie (based on a Stephen King book I think). The bit at the end made me jump from the fireplace to the settee - I was only about 10 and wasn't supposed to watch it !

Too right,you think the films all done and dusted and the hand comes out the ground.
Ive seen Saw and didnt really find it that scary,gruesome maybe when he uses the hacksaw but a very low crap your pants factor.

Jagged Edge.
the scene where Jeff Bridges' white gloved hand breaks the glass pane in the door.
Swear I jumped clean out of my seat.

Raiders of the Lost bloody Ark would you believe.
He was trapped in the room with the walls or roof coming in and she had to put her hand in the hole with the creepy crawlies (god I hate creepy crawlies). As she put her hand in...............he grabbed it.
I didn't know I had a high pitched scream til then redface

I always quote the Jaws 'head rolling scene' as well!
More recently as im so old and difficult to shock (or stoned) its rare a movie works that way , but The Ring was so brilliantly and atmospherically filmed and edited that it did the trick at least once .

Signs.... when Mel Gibsons brother (Jo Phoenix I think) is watching the news about the kids party in Mexico, they are all looking out the window and an alien walks past with a sudden burst of movie music...shat myself...lol

there is one scene out of aliens 2 that always makes me jump,
it near teh start when they first get on o the planet and they are walking thought the tunnel, and they find that person on the wall, then all of a sudden the alien makes an apperance!.
put apart from that horror films very rarly make me jump.... tell a lie i always jump at the stupid none scary stuff.... like a car door slamming shut (can't remember film), whihc caught me of guard.. my mate where pissing them selves for ages.. which be came a running joke for months..

The Haunting, the original B/W version now that film had atmosphere!!

3 Nov 2004

Poltergeist 3... the one where their reflections in the mirrors develop a life of their own.... That freaked me out.
Blair Witch project... i knew it was "only a film", but when i saw it in LA, it had just come out, and the scary thing was that people went, thinking it was real (that the people were dead in real life) and they came anyway...
The cheese wire thing in Ghost ship was freaky... most scary thing was that i coaught cold when seeing it (over active air con in the cinema) and then developed pnemonia...
Spent the next week in hospital, looking like an extra from Thunderbirds... with all the IV drips in my arms biggrin
