Oh, I just remembered. The scene in The Others where the little girl is playing with the little wooden toy thing in the wedding veil, and is all possessed by the old woman. That's freaky as hell, even if it was spoiled by the trailer.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

the one where they all go over night to house that used to be a mental hospital.
Legend of Hell House. Vincent Price in the first, and Geoffrey Rush (and CZJ, again) in the second. Not much scary about either of those (to me).
Session 9 had some scariness in it, and Sixth Sense actually got to me. I was convinced that invisible dead people were all around me, and unhappy, all the time.

Actually, Legend... only came in one version in the early 70s with Roddy McDowell (and was pretty creepy) and was adapted from HELL HOUSE by Richard Matheson (which was even creepier and nasty).
And it was Famke Janssen (sp?) in HoHH, not CZJ.

Crap, you're right, FKB...I knew I wasn't, but then I couldn't think what else it could be. "Legend" was Roddy McDowell, right?

Yeah, that was a creep-out moment.
When we watched The Others, Pete paused the DVD about 2/3rds of the way through, looked over at me huddled on the couch, hiding behind Clovis, and said "Do you want me to spoil the ending for you? I figured it out, and it might make you less creeped out." Sadly, being spoiled didn't make me less twitchy.

Oh, another truly creepifying moment is the end of The Haunting of Julia with Mia Farrow.

Thrive to spite them
Frank the white fonted pact is what freaked me out.
Also, I wasn't scared by but just reacted very weirdly to was the movie with J Lo and Vince Vaughn (?) she's a psychatrist and he's a law enforcement person and there's a serial killer.
At one point there's this weird light show thing, I remember wanting to crawl out of my seat and into the colors. Very weird.

See, this is what I get for multi-tasking.
I'm trying to think of my favorite horror films. I liked Ravenous, but I don't think it's a horror movie (although it's filed with horror on the shelf).
The Others, The Exorcist, 28 Days Later, Suspiria, The Haunting, The Fog, The Thing, and Gothic are all on the list.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Oh yeah, The Others. Easily the deep-down scariest movie made in the last 20 years.
For making me jump a mile, I think I'd go with the scene when Jennifer goes for the phone in I Spit on Your Grave.
Aw yeah! I'd forgotten about that. You know I was part of a music discussion group for years called I Spit On Your Groove, right?
