Following a mention in a previous post, and taking the childhood fear
theme in a different direction, especially since Halloween is getting
closer.
On Saturday night and last Night a TV channel in the UK broadcast a
programme called the 100 scariest moments.
The full results can be seen here.

I watched it (in between hiding behind my hands, a newspaper, running
into the kitchen to make coffee) and while I didn't entirely agree
with the order, I generally agreed they'd made a good job of rounding
up some of the scariest moments in film and tv ever.
The winner was "Here's Johnny!" from the Shining.
My two eeeeeek moments were:
1. Saturday - Lawrence Olivier about to get seriously mediaeval with
a dentists drill in Dustin Hoffman in Marathon Man
2. A bit from "The Thing" involving surgery and sudden teeth. No I
won't go into any further detail, but eeeeeeeeeeew! Had me running
for the bathroom.
So here's my point. What's your scariest moment?
Interesting informational point that I never knew - the scary guy in
Halloween was wearing a Captain Kirk mask cut about a bit because
they couldn't afford to make anything! Probably most people knew
that but I didn't.
