Darth Maul?
I love It Follows. The tall man is amazing, especially in the boat house/beach scene. It's probably too long to gif, but there's a scene during that section that is a masterclass in building tension.
Only scary part in a vastly overrated and excessively boring film about people you love to hate. Also invented the worst horror film genre: Found Footage.
The Blair Witch Project (1999)

The Fly and Eraserhead fuck me up more than anything else. I can't even watch that shit anymore. I'm not even going to post it because I already saw them both earlier in the thread and I'm already losing my hair. Posts 175 and 192. Shit.
My favorite gif in the thread is Tarman but not because it's scary, I just love Tarman. Tarman is sooo good.

Sleepaway Camp ending
I saw Felissa Rose at a horror attraction last year.
So f'ing good. Still the GOAT, even in gif form.
Perfect buildup to this scene. The actor's scream is real, it was the first time he had seen Gunnar Hansen in the leatherface costume.

Yep. This scene is haunting. The sounds, the camera, the mask.
Mulholland Drive
This is one of the few scenes that actually truly frightened me and stuck with me after all these years. I'm always going back and rewatching it.
I've been meaning to pick up the Criterion edition. My old DVD version is worn the fuck out. My first memory of the film is being in high school and my girlfriend's parents telling us how dumb it was. GF and I watched it together and loved it.

V/H/S movies are pretty good IMO

Absolutely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5OGQr3xdfM
The movie as such isn't the pinnacle of the horror genre though.
It's a solid horror movie but kind of dumb as a sequel to the original.
The Ring. That movie does bad things to me.
I saw that opening night. The theater was packed. My favorite theater experience. Lively crowd.
When that scene unfolded a black woman next to me stood and forced her way into the aisle yelling "fuck that girlfriend I am out, some one walk me to my car(sic)" and we all laughed and laughed.
Seriously that movie, and that scene at the end after all of the tension, was scary as hell at the time.
Edit: also me and my date were high. HIGH. so that helped.

(I haven't actually seen House on Haunted Hill '59. Just wanted to post this gif from it because everytime I see it I lose my shit with laughter.)
For a legit response, I don't have any gifs on hand, but the scene from Silence of the Lambs when Starling is in the bathtub in the room of Buffalo Bill's house...and then the camera shows that thing that was the decayed remains of the previous owner in his bathtub shows up. Christ.

Oh God I loved that show!
I wouldn't mind re-watching that.
This one always creeped me out. It's from the short Bedfellows.
I haven't seen the movie, but the Gif always makes me laugh. It seems like the demon is about to prank the woman and already almost laughing in anticipation of the fact that he's going to scare her.

Fuck me. I just got home an hour ago from seeing It, and I'm pretty spooked... yet here I am looking at some (pretty terrifying) horror film gifs. Whhyyy...
Inland Empire
Since my first idea was posted, the back up:
John Carpenter's The Thing
lmao these just made me laugh hard.
Yeah, this is why I posted my moment from The Leopard Man as 3 gifs and almost the whole sequence. Horror has a rhythm to it and that clip from Heretic is a perfect example, repetition of the same hallway with the same camera setup, and you are just waiting for it without even knowing what it is, and then the guard leaves...just to come back, get his hat and leave again, and then shears!
It is a wonderful scene from an underrated horror sequel.
edit: The Insidious demon always bothered me, I think they needed to either tone down the design(and remove his hair, seriously the hair is so prominent) or have him a little out of focus. As it is you get too good a look at it for too long hence, you know, Darth Maul.
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
Holy shit I forgot this show existedone of the few interesting bits of this movie, by the end of the movie my friends and I were laughing our asses off
on topic, not a movie but the episode of the soildier and the death from Jim Henson's the Storyteller made me have nightmares for a week
couldn't find a gif, but I really recommend that show

It is an obvious jump scare, you know it's coming, and why is that kid in the attic anyway? but it fills me with dread every time i rewatch it because it causes them to lose their light and be stuck in the dark with the naked monster lady.

Not scary exactly but probably one of my favorite creepy scenes of all time.
Really helped that we watched it on an old burned in tv that was dark as hell.
Took a while to even see it actually and it gave me legitimate chills

Ya, that's a creepy scene and one of the reasons I love that movie. I also like Tiny Tim and was glad to see his music being applied to good effect.

Not a gif but this scene of a movie called The tunnel is legit scary.

Not sure why it fucks with me. The way it creeps up behind the guy, puts it's arms around him.

that scene taught me to never open the window for floating people even if they are family.
God the whole scene in the apartment in the top floor is horrifying. I was drenched in sweat watching it.[rec]

Men behind the sun. Frostbite experiment.
The really bad stuff from this movie isn't giffed it would seem.
Jesus. I watched that on an old VHS I rented from a video store in Tasmania when I lived there and it's stuck with me ever since. It's one of the most unpleasant, upsetting films I've ever seen.

I really need to expand my horror movie intake, but a lot of the ones available digitally all seem... Low quality, or I'm never in the mood for movies, let alone horror ones.
Gonna have to start buying them.
I prefer dread/psychological horror with minimal jump scares and body gore/violence, but some is fine.

Meh been looking for a horror movie to sell me on the genre lately. Love horror games like Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and Dead Space, but the movies never did anything for me. Especially recently, I can just hear the "SUDDEN LOUD MUSIC/SOUND TO QUE JUMP SCARE!" in most of these instead of letting it freak you out naturally.
Anyone got a recommendation?

for me, the last good horror movie was The Witch
