    My heart has skipped a beat on many horror flicks, for sure. However... b,121b,121...at 3:27 this scene scared the shiet out of me.b,121b,121object width="425" height="344"1param name="movie" value=""1/param1param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"1/param1embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"1/embed1/object1

    font class="post"1b,121b,121b,121Lynch has always freaked me the fusk out. Other films make you jump but Lynch, and a few others, make genuinely creepy movies. b,121b,121I remember watching Twin Peaks as a kid, and to this day 'Bob' still makes me feel a little uneasy. b,121b,121Kubricks' films are too beautifully shot to be really scary, I find it distracting, in a good way. b,121b,121The Shining did place twice in that lists top 10 ? So maybe it should be No.1

    In The Changeling, the scene with the ball bouncing down the stairs after it was tossed in the river is waaaaaaayyyyyyyy scarier.b,121b,121And the spiderwalk down the stairs is pretty hard to beat in The Exorcist! Vomit is not scary! A possessed little girl barreling down the stairs is scary!b,121b,121 AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH b,121b,121 b,121b,121b,121b,121And something that is common to both films that is a horror movie cliche, but so effective if done right (as it is in both The Changleing and The Exorcist), is scary voices on a tape.

    that one scene in the shining when jack nicholson walks upstairs and the butler is on his knees in front of some dude wearing a furry halloween costume freaked me out. also, children of the corn. but mostly cuz i lived near towns that kinda looked like that.

    In the early 2000's re-up of Chainsaw Massacre there's a scene where leatherace is chasing this girl with the chainsaw, and she gets a look at him in the moonlight, and he is wearing her, at that point dead, boyfriend's face. Shit had me freaked the fusk out when I went home to an empty house.

    In "The Ring" when that chair slowly turns I had to close my eyes in the cinema. Simple but effective.

    I like Robert Berry (used to post on the forum of his old site way way back in the day) but not that impressed by this list - kinda formulaic. Lost Highway is about 20 times creepier/scarier than Mulholland Drive for starters.b,121b,121However thumbs up for including that part from Exorcist III which did scare the shit out of me when I first saw it.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121Not sure how high I'd rate it as a movie, but GODDAMN it scared the hell out of me.b,121b,121Cosine on Lost Highway being scarier than Mulholland Drive. Lynch has that knack of making ANYHTING seem scary as long as he gets his way. It's so obvious when he left the Twin Peaks series. The mood is completely different after the death of Leland/Flight of Bob.b,121b,121b,121Bob.b,121b,121b,121b,121b,121Brrr!

    img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5170JV5JW6L.jpg"1b,121b,121The scene that scared me the most is where Donald Sutherland pleads with the girl in the red who he thinks is his dead daughter and it turns around and you see it's not his daughter but actually a homicidal midget with a bizarre waxy old lady face. oh my god. I was so f*cking freaked out. I seriously was scared to turn the lights out every night for a while cause I'd think a killer midget in a red coat would emerge from the shadows.b,121b,121img src="http://www.doodlemonkie.com/USERIMAGES/DontLookNow.jpg"1

    b,121The impetus for the series Twin Peaks was the mystery of who killed Laura Palmer. When production began on the pilot, series creators David Lynch and Mark Frost had decided that the murderer would be revealed as Leland Palmer, Laura's father. During the filming of a scene in the pilot taking place in Laura's room, Frank Silva, a set dresser, accidentally trapped himself in the room prior to filming by inadvertently moving a dresser in front of the door. Lynch had an image of Silva stuck in the room and thought that it could fit into the series somewhere, and told Silva that he would like for him to be in the series. Lynch had Silva crouch at the foot of Laura's bed and look through the bars of the footboard, as if he were "trapped" behind them, and filmed it, then had Silva leave the room and filmed the empty room; after reviewing the footage, Lynch liked the presence that Silva brought to the scene and decided that he would put him somewhere in the series.[1]
    b,121Later that day, a scene was being filmed in which Laura Palmer's mother experiences a vision which frightens her; at the time, the script did not indicate what Mrs Palmer had seen to frighten her. Lynch was pleased with how the scene turned out, but a crew member informed him that it would have to be re-shot, because a mirror in the scene had inadvertently picked up someone's reflection. When Lynch asked who it was, the crew member replied that it had been Silva. Lynch considered this a "happy accident," and decided at that point that the unnamed character to be played by Silva would be revealed as Laura Palmer's true killer.[1]
