In the last few minutes of The Blair Witch Project, when you see Mike standing in the corner. Don't ask me why, but just thinking about that scene freaks me out.

Yup. It's the only thing that scared me about that movie, but it gives me the wiggins big time.

The thing standing on the roof of the barn in Signs.

The last seconds of Pet Sematary where the wife picks up the knife off the table and starts to swing. (That one's left over from childhood for sure- there's scarier imagery in there, but that's the vision that sticks with me.)

When the spiders all come out of the trees in Harry Potter.

Samara coming out of the tv in The Ring and the way the woman crawls down the stairs in The Grudge.

The last shot of Night of the Living Dead.

I watch an awful lot of horror movies, so I'm sure I'm missing a ton.

After the credits began rolling, I noticed that my right hand was asleep. Because I'd been gripping the wrist with my other hand so tightly.

Dude! I remember that image too! I don't know why. And it ends with just a freeze before the credits.

Sadaka (I think that's her name) coming through the tv in Ring, definitely. I've never seen the American version though, so that could be creepier.

I think Sadako's emergence in Ringu is the creepier moment of the two, although overall the American version is scarier start to finish.

Back when Pet Semetary came out an aquaintance of mine had a little boy who looked and sounded like the Gage actor. One night when she and her husband were out having dinner, the toddler said "I want to play wif you" to his babysitter in exactly the same tone as from the movie and the halfwit locked herself in the bathroom until his parents came home. They were far more forgiving than I would have been, as the story would have ended—also like the movie—with a knife-wielding parent had it been my kid left frightened and unsupervised for over an hour.

And it ends with just a freeze before the credits.

Either that, or an abrupt cut to black before she makes contact. Then maybe a scream? But I think the Night of the Living Dead is a freeze. The freeze always gives me the wiggins. Likewise with a well used slow motion.

Have you guys seen the promo for the new Jennifer Anniston/Clive Owen movie?

Is that supposed to be an American accent? Because if so -- not very good.

GoF tickets are now on sale on Moviefone and Fandango.

I saw that ad this evening. I didn't hear anybody talk in it, just, broody glances and guns. I was not paying attention, clearly.

I am having trouble coming up with scariness moments. I can think of several startles, but that's sort of the cheap version of scariness. And for some reason when I was 11 I was terrified of Gremlins, but that's all I can muster.

Well, we had the shorter one earlier (say last week - when I was all surprised that there was a Jennifer Anniston/Clive Owen film at all) -- but now we're getting one that features more dialogue plus scenes of the local commuter trains etc.

It sounded to me as if he were just thinning his own British accent out a bit to make it less jarring.

Most of the scenes in Arachnophobia freak my shit right out.

Well, yeah.

I can no longer remember which scenes in particular from Poltergeist freak me out the worst. I haven't seen the movie in 20 or so years, and have no urge to change that. I didn't sleep for days after seeing it in the theatre.
