100 Scariest Movie Scenes

[Ultra]

This is a really fun site that I thought you guys would enjoy checking out.

http://www.retrocrush.com/scary/index.html

This has been a great labour of love and truly one of the most fun articles I've ever had the pleasure of putting up on retroCRUSH.  It's easy to talk about scary movies, but we wanted to highlight the individual scary scenes that really stick out.  Some films aren't scary by design, but happen to have creepy and shocking moments that deserve special recognition.  So enjoy this list and have fun discovering a bunch of new movies to see!  Special thanks to Darin Wood and Christy Savage of  TRASH FILM ORGY for their efforts, and the hundreds of you who responded with your own suggestions. And for those who care, our list came out a good year before Bravo decided to do a TV special with the same theme, so in case you're wondering...

If this if your first time to this page, welcome!  For fun, see how many movies you can identify by just looking at the pictures!  Also, before you scold me with, "How come you didn't include THIS MOVIE?" make sure I really didn't include it.

We're also slowly putting up YouTube clips of each scene to make this an even more kickass feature!

I didn't see the scene with Rosie O'Donnell in the Dominatrix out fit in East Of Eden!!!

I have seen only a handful of horror movies, but the scene from the Wicker Man (#100 on their list) would have made my top 10. No alone in a dark alley cliche....they found a way to scare me in a scene with a crowd of people, in a wide open space, in broad daylight. Incredible atmosphere and lots of build up.

Of course, I had no idea what was coming. Sadly, the pic they chose kinda gives it away for those that haven't seen the original (or the supposedly crappy remake).

I didn't see it, but the mind boggles...

IMO many of the "best" horror movies seem to equate gore with scariness. Yes, gallons upon gallons of blood and entrails are disturbing, but not "scary".

Poor Rosie. If guns are responsible for crime, then spoons are responsible for Rosie O'Donnell being fat.
