While The Strangers really annoys me due to a few moments, I love its Halloween-esque horror of seeing things before the characters know about them. That's tension and suspense done right. In Halloween, you're always seeing Michael lurking before the character do,Someone posted the part like 20 seconds after this but this is worse
Halloween

I didn't even like the movie but that scene almost gave me a heart attack.
Fuck. I can't second this enough - scares do nothing for me, but this scene? The news report lead in, everything. Mother of moses, to this day the worst scare I've got from a movie. Chills

I haven't seen the Salem's Lot film, but I did read the book and it is super disappointing watch the film instead maybe.

Don't know what scene this is but fun fact for the day: The Insidious nun is the mulholland dr. dirty hobo.
Holy crap, can't believe I forgot about Jacob's Ladder. Movie is amazing.
Pretty sure it is...first time I can remember, anyway. Also the inspiration for Silent Hill. In fact, its' a better Silent Hill movie than Silent Hill

I couldn't find a gif, but I enjoyed The Birch. It's a horror short I saw at a horror festival.
Edit: actually, here's the whole short: https://youtu.be/SxQj0DumF8Y
Excellent makeup effects there. There's a lot of good horror shorts on YouTube. One of my favourites is The Outer Darkness, although sadly there's no sign of part 2 yet.
Pougkeepsie tapes, truly unsettling.
The Poughkeepsie Tapes is some eerie fucking shit.
*edit - beaten to death but I'm keeping it anyways because it really deserves it
One of my favorite horror films of all time and this scene is the least chilling. Such an incredible exercise in tension and build up.
I should watch this and Begotten. Seen so much about them but never actually watched them.
Insidious.
What the fuck is that...

Yeah I think so. Had direct inspiration to Silent Hill, with the twitchy and unnatural movement some enemies had which is the first time I saw it
Not really a horror, but this scene from Communion spooked the hell out of me as a kid.
Yeah, this got me in a way not many movies did.
Didn't read through the whole thread, but American Werewolf in London has a scene where he is running naked through the woods and there is a curtain and pulls it back and then a jump scare. This haunts me to this day for some reason, but I now love the movie.
Edit: yep it is here:
also this one from American Werewolf forest scene creeped me out
In recent memory, I found the tall guy in It Follows to be a pretty spooky scene...share some of your favorite scary scenes in horror films gaf.
Fun fact. Tall guy in It follows is one half of the world's tallest pair of identical twins (7'6")

Insidious.
First one is from Mama, the feature film.
It's better in the short, imho:
That gif appears to be from a trailer. It's not like that in the film itself (the flicker).
These GIF's sum up why I hate most modern horror. I hate the influence The Ring had, and these quick moving long haired creatures are just dumb.
The Insidious gif just make me think a member of Mudvayne is going to surprise someone.

Exorcist 3
Great movie. Also (looks a bit silly here though):
And this is the GOAT:

Candyman freaks me the fuck out, so I just got a gif to give an idea of the whole movie
NOPE-ing out of this thread now.

What the hell? It's like the scariest concept ever.
Going to give it a watch now that a lot of you guys in here mentioned it. Never even heard of it.
Switch Back 9
a lot of my threads involve me fucking up somehow. Perhaps I'm a moron?
Insidious was a laughably unscary movie you guys are nuts. Shit looked like a Tenacious D music video at times.
SparkleMotion

Yeah. I started watching and got bored after 30 minutes. Never finished it. Didn't even know this was in the movie.
Scary concept, poor execution.
The part with the tall guy is easily the most well executed scene in the film.

Psycho (this scene used to have me shook as a kid)
I was scouring the thread to see if this was posted, because I would have. I saw this when I was 8 or 9, and was first time I had a "jump scare" experience. It came so quickly and out of nowhere.

Yeah, that overdesigned Marilyn Manson-nun was not scary (to me) and that stupid clip/scene made me laugh too.

I'm not much of a fan but V/H/S 2 is worth watching for the Gareth Evans/Timo directed segment with the Indonesian cult. Shit's crazy.

So did I. It's interesting how some scenes work differently for people. I think this was probably the scene where I decided I didn't like this movie.
Just driving by to say The Strangers is a garbage movie and none of you should get fooled into watching it because of the gif someone posted.
It's basically one hour of retarded people wearing silly masks peeking behind the main characters only to magically disappear when they turn around.
That not to mention the insufferably predictable main character and her insufferably predictable action that the director thought was going to be shocking but was stupidly "I'm done with this trash movie" obvious from the beginning.
A complete waste of time.

The execution is lacking, especially in the third act.
Psycho (this scene used to have me shook as a kid)
It was a magical experience seeing my film class get got by this scene even as recently as last year.
DeathoftheEndless
Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
Sinister. The whole Bagul thing and his methodology is lame, but those snuff videos are creepy as fuck. And the music is otherworldly and excellent.

They require a lot more context than a gif can show, but Fire Walk With Me is a very haunting film.
This is the first time I'm hearing that Fire Walk with Me had anything scary in it. Never seen it.
Yes! The second one in particular, that ending is sick. Very tense film, considering its length and odd structure.
From Noroi/The Curse.

Wha? Fire Walk With Me is like all the scary parts of Twin Peaks condensed into one movie.
you never saw The Phantom Menace? it's one of the most effective horror movies

Not a horror movie really but this scene shocked me at the time. It was just so graphic and came out of nowhere....
Shaun of the Dead.
Shaun of the Dead.
Psycho (this scene used to have me shook as a kid)
This and that Exorcist 3 scene aren't done enough justice through their GIFs. The music accompaniment is what really sells both of those
Speaking of which
I actually do find this scene in the original Phantom of the Opera to be extremely unnerving.

Great choice. Absolutely love that film.
Mostly this. There were a couple creepy parts, but the climax was just goofy.
That part with the baby, jesus!
Audition
Watched this last night on Shudder -- holy shit... that ending..
Loved the movie.
if you went in blind about the ending... haha

Dawn of the Dead (1978). The vicious, racist tenement murder at the very beginning of the movie displayed in such graphic fashion set the tone for the entire film and shocked the Hell out of me (A kid at the time who saw the film without permission).

The final scenes are something else, sure.
btw is funny, David Lynch is not an horror-movie director but for some reason it's a master to create uncomfortable and/or creepy scenes.
