All Time Scaries

I couldn't get the link to work, but I can nominate my own eeeeeeeeek
moments.

1.  The ending of "Carrie."  No, I take that back.  *All* of "Carrie."
 Dang, that movie literally kept me up at night.  It combines the pain
of being unpopular in high school with all that *blood!*

2.  The torture scene from "Reservoir Dogs."  Quentin went *way* too
far with that one.

3.  The sledgehammer scene from "Misery."  Oh, man, that looked like
it would really, really *hurt.*

4.  In the category of "Relentless Tension" for cinematic moments
where I felt like *I* was the one who was about to be killed, I'd
nominate Samuel L. Jackson's speech quoting scripture before he whacks
Yuppie!Brad.

5.  In Alien, when that *thing* blasts through the guy's chest, looks
around a bit, and then races off.  "Alien" gets mega-bonus points for
being brave enough to have a female star, too.

Mmmm, I'd say "Alien" and "Carrie" are probably the best horror films
I've ever seen.  They're the only ones I can remember seeing, anyway.  :-D

Cindy -- who peeks through her fingers during the really bad parts,
and who didn't find "The Shining" to be all that scary, really
