"100 Scariest..."

Channel 4 last night and carrying on tonight in a run-down of the 100 scariest moments of tv/movies. I missed it last night but will be watching tonight no doubt.

So what do you think will be the top few scary moments voted for by the public?

I would think that the final scene from 'Blair Witch Project' where the guy is standing in the corner of the basement and both of the people get killed would be in the top couple, if not number one.

The Psycho shower scene is bound to be in the top few I think

The excorcist scene where she turns her head around will be there, despite it not been scary now, it was scary at the time (70/80's or whenever it was made)

Personally I think the scariest movie moment is from "The Ring" where the girl crawls out from the TV or where it flashes a glimpse of her dead in the closet.

I do not find serial killer 'horrors' scary, I much prefer a good old supernatural scare.

So what are your top few scariest moments in movies or tv?

Its bull sheet. Half of these aren't even remotely moving or scary in anyway.

oh yeah, poltergeist - that worried me somewhat when I was younger, especially that freaky old preacher

is this programme some kind of joke? an advert for metz is one of the 100 most scary moments?

pathetic

The Shining with the twin girls.

yeah. the a selection of the only genuinely 'scary' moments in films :

1) Event Horizon - where Doctor Weir is in the crawlspace, and the lights go out, and he can hear his dead wife calling to him. then his torch goes out, and it gets closer, and closer until ......

2) Blair Witch Project - where they wake up in the middle of the night to hear faint screaming, and most disturbing of all - a baby crying.

3) Candyman - After saying his name 5 times in a mirror.

4) Jacobs Ladder - where jacob is being chased by a car seemingly full of demons - also, when he is being wheeled into the most horrific hospital imaginable.

5) The Shining - where the young boy comes across the ghosts of the murdered twins, and sees what happened to them.

I take it you have never seen the original Night of the Living Dead or the 1978 Halloween? Maybe even Hellraiser, Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original not the guff remake) or the Evil Dead Trilogy? They make modern horror films look like a CBBC program.

Defenetly should do!!

The Blair Witch Project is about as scary as the bloody tweenies and about as entertaining as trying to shave your ball sack.

Freddy he makes my list

Ring is on this week.
'The Ring' is pretty rubbish.

And yes, the bit where she crawls out of the television is DAMN scary. As are most of Sadako's scenes in Ring 2. Watch them both.
