The Scariest Horror Scene Ever Is This

1. The futon scene in Ju-on.

2. That one from Psycho.
That one from The Shining.
That one from The Exorcist.

5. >>2 Is foreign horror really that scary? I feel like it’s more grotesque and painful. Japanese horror is directly scary.

3. In Ring when the well appears on the TV.

4. When the title appears in Cabin in the Woods.

6. When you say that one from the Exorcist, do you mean the spider walk?

47. >>6 Don’t they mean the head spin?

59. >>6 Don’t they call it a crab walk in English?

7. That scene in Ju-on: Black Ghost where the old lady runs towards the screen holding a basketball. I fell out of my chair.

16. >>7 Wait, doesn’t that happen in the “Full-length mirror” segment of Shin Mimibukuro?

26. >>16 I got curious and looked it up. I was right with the basketball granny, but I got the title wrong. It was Ju-on: White Ghost.

121. >>7 Just reading that makes me laugh.

8. The blood test scene from The Thing.

9. >>8 This.

12. >>8 I was less afraid and more curious about how it was going to turn out…

31: >>8 That scene made me realise how brilliant John Carpenter is.

10: That bit in Ring where the kid watches the video late at night.

11: Gotta be Ring or Ju-on.

17. >>11 I watched Ring only once and that day I couldn’t wash my hair with my eyes closed. Seriously. When I saw it as a kid I made sure to sleep in a room without a TV.

13: The part in Hereditary where they cut off their own head scared the hell out of me.

22. >>13 At first I thought they were stabbing themselves with a needle or something.

14. The end scene in Blair Witch where they’re standing and facing the wall scared me.

28. >>14 For me it was the part where the tent shakes.

24. I haven’t seen a single person mention the Kuchisake-onna scene from Gakkou no Kaidan. Are you all for real?

31. >>24 I’m more afraid of the Red Room and Teke Teke…

25. The last part of Insidious.

32. In Susperia 2 when the doll comes out.
In Ring 2 when she escapes the well.
The elevator scene in Dark Water.

228. >>32 That elevator scene entirely ripped off The Shining.

36. The clown in Poltergeist was kinda creepy.

37. In the home video version of Ju-on, looking closely at the scene of the house and seeing Kayoko in the window honestly scared the crap out of me.

40. That scene in Misery.

41. >>40 I dunno if it was scary, but it looked painful.

44. That part in Audition when she brings the needles or whatever and is squeaking.

45. I remember watching an old black and white movie where a mother brings home the head of a Jizo, it was really scary. I don’t remember the title though.

48. The woman you can see through the frosted glass in Honkowa.

61. >>48 Tell me more. Was it a woman in a red dress? I still remember that.

88. >>48

52. Everything about Ring and Ju-on is scary.
Don’t Look Up and Pulse mentally messed me up.
The splatter films you often saw in the 90s were just gross.

57. It’s a little different, but the part where everything is revealed in Get Out was beyond horrifying.

80. That scene in Child’s Play where Chucky’s batteries aren’t in.

94. I watched One Missed Call for the first time in a while, but it wasn’t even a tiny bit scary. It scared the crap out of me when I was a kid though.

103. >>94 Maybe because horror is scariest the first time you see something and you don’t know how it’s going to turn out.

110. Pet Sematary

112. That bit in Ring where the guy has something on his face and points.

207. >>112 Thanks to pachinko I can only see that as me being one step away from winning now.

116. In Dark Water, where she rescues her daughter from the bathtub and runs to the front door at the climax of the movie, but then her daughter is standing there. So, who am I holding then…? The fear that takes hold for just a few seconds is so good.

138. >>116 That kind of stuff that makes you think about what’s going to happen rather than just surprising you is the scariest.

117. Is Hostel considered scary?

122. >117 I hate that part where they cut the Achilles tendon.

123. >>117 I think it’s probably considered gross rather than scary.

126. Does anyone here know Rattle Rattle (from Unholy Women)?

136. >>126 It’s scary, but in the end I didn’t really get it, so I had no idea what was going on.

142. >>136 It was the stalker’s living spirit. Their face was so scary it honestly scared the crap out of me.

151. I like horror movies like Zan’e where it seems to have a happy ending, but during the credits you realise nothing was actually resolved.

161. >>151 The cheap ghost scene wasn’t the best, but the rest was rather good.

169. >>151 I was surprised that pretty much everyone involved died.

172. This doesn’t look scary.

This poster alone makes it impossible for me to watch.

184. >>172 The photo quality of the second one and the way it looks like an old ghost photo makes it scary.

195. >>172 The design of the Japanese poster is honestly genius. You can really feel how damp and depressing it is.

197. Have there been any recent horror films?

199. >>197 Hereditary.

201. >>199 This.

224. >>199 I’d say that it was more eerie from start to finish than scary. I can’t wait to see the director’s newest film.

324. >>199 The final scene was terrifying.

227. The old woman in The Visit was creepy. Chomping on the walls at night while naked.

230. Someone recommend something I can watch on Amazon Prime. I’ve already seen all of the Okinawa Scary Stories.

240. >>230 Furueru Shita.

244. >>230 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

239. Vampire Clay was rated rather highly, but it’s a different kind of horror.

246. Child’s Play was scary when I was a kid.

259. >>246 If you watch it now, it’s a comedy. Although it was intended to be serious at the time it was made.

271. >>246 There’s no denying that as the series goes on, they lean more into the jokes.

250. What was that movie where the old lady snaps and yells “iikata!” (Watch your tongue)?

258. >>250 Noroi

268. >>258 My guy! Yeah, I hated that one.

253. As a kid, Event Horizon gave me trauma. Anyone know that one?

279. >>253 I do. That was a good one mixing SF and horror.

282. >>253 You’re probably the same generation as me. That scene where the professor’s wife appears was honestly scary.

285. Has there been a scary Japanese horror movie recently? If I wanna watch something, I just end up watching Western films or old Japanese ones.

291. >>285 I dunno if it counts as recent but Zan’e was pretty good. The book was also good so you should read that too.

309. >>291 It’s a pity the CG in that movie was so bad.

295. Ju-on, the movie that invalided hiding under the covers as a safe zone.

316. It’s one thing to fight against zombies and other physical creatures, but it’s hilarious when people start fighting against ghosts and demons, so I wish they’d stop that.
