9 of The Scariest Movie Moments in History
Paranormal Activity
That horrifying moment when an invisible force crawls up underneath the sheets and then promptly disappears… and comes back and drags Katie out of bed and down the hall way. Literally the stuff of nightmares.
Signs
That terrifying isolation you feel when you’ve been trapped in the world of the Hess family and you’ve got no idea what strange things are going on in the world… until they finally get a weak television signal.
Scream
When Drew Barrymore dies. If Drew Barrymore isn’t safe, no one is.
Pan’s Labyrinth
The Pale Man scene. Skip to 2.15 but make sure your watching buddy is still with you.
What Lies Beneath
There’s a special kind of terror reserved for water ghosts.
The Others
Are you mad? I am your daughter! SHUDDER!
The Exorcist
The head spinning? Meh. Spider walk? Holy crap-in-my-pants.
The Ring
I don’t think anyone ever fully recovered from watching this scene.
The Shining
There’s a variety of different scary-as-shit moments in The Shining but RedRum is burnt into the memories of every child of the 80s.
