Favorite Horor movie scene

[Guest Black Tiger]

What is everyone's favorite scene in a horror movie?

 

Mine is the bar scene in Friday the 13th part 2, I really liked how Ginny was tapping into Jason's head, I'm not a psychology major (but I did pass the course) but a lot of what she said made sense.

[Guest godthedog]

well mine's from a movie hardly anyone else has seen & the delight came from the surprise, so i'm not going to tell anybody.

 

i will say that it's from 'repulsion'. but that's all i will say.

For the love of God...someone tell me they've seen the goddamn aful Beware, Children at Play...it's a rancid little movie, but the last 5 minutes is such a riot, it's worth sitting through the rest. C.H.U.D....back me up, man.

 

Dawn of the Dead...clearing out the mall.

American Psycho...death of Paul Allen

Silent Night Deadly Night..sledding and beheading

Alien...chest exploder (that's horor enough)

 

I'm sure I'll have more later

[Guest C.H.U.D.]

Can you believe, I have never seen Beware, Children at Play? I keep hearing the last 5 minutes are great, but I have a hard time sitting down and watching Troma films, with the exception of The Toxic Avenger.

 

As for my favourite horror scene, the one that disturbed me the most as a child is the chest burster scene in Alien. Of course, I was 8 and my dad took me to see it in the theatre. Ahh, childhood memories.

[Guest Lethargic]

Scene - The ending of Blood Shack where the guy dies saying...."the.....chooper.....is.........real......" *dies*

 

Here's the mini-review of Beware Children at Play I did on my site....

 

This movie is a mixed bag. It sucks. That's a given. It pretty much sucks. But at the same time, it's fantastic. The whole time I'm watching this, I'm paying attention to the dialogue. Not HOW it's read but how it's written. I'm paying attention to the story and the gore. I'm trying to overlook the cheapness of it. And what amazed me is that underneath all the horrible acting and bad FX, is the possibility for a GREAT horror movie. I swear man, the story, the script, everything about this movie was great. The problem is that it was made for 5 dollars. Probably even less. Without a budget, the acting is TERRIBLE and they just couldn't reach the level of the idea of the movie. It's a great idea, just with a flawed execution. There's no doubt in my mind that if you take the same people that made Texas Chainsaw Massacre and you give them THIS script instead of THAT script, today everybody is worshipping Beware Children at Play instead of TCM. If this had been made in the 70's it'd be a classic because cheap would've actually helped it back then. But being made today with no budget killed it's chances of ever being anything.

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

Beware, Children At Play is one I've never seen, but I've seen plenty of clips of through various Troma DVDs (namely Cannibal! The Musical and The Toxic Avenger). Pitchfork...

 

My favorite scenes from horror movies...

 

-Maggot punching Marcus in the "guts" - The Dead Hate The Living

-Pencil-to-achilles tendon - The Evil Dead (only scene that TRULY grosses me out in ANy horror movie I've seen)

-Sphere drills into zombie-cremator - Phantasm II (A MUST-SEE, AS WITH EVERY OTHER DEATH IN ANY OF THESE MOVIES)

-Chainsaw battle with gas-mask man - Phantasm II (Reggie Bannister...is..a...GOD)

-Last 20 minutes, including dinner table scene and hammer-to-the-head - Texas Chainsaw Massacre (most intense 20 minutes of a movie to date)

[Guest Prototype450]

who can forget the sleeping bag death in Friday the 13th number 7

Rick getting his head crushed in Friday the 13th 3 was hilarious. His fucking eye flies at the screen.

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

I think the sleeping bag scene is in number 7, as I just watched that today (and am utterly disappointed for this allegedly "best sequel" of the series), and a girl is smashed in a sleeping bag.

 

I also want to add the holographic Crystal Lake scene in Jason X. ONLY redeeming part of the entire movie.

If you ignore the rest of it.

That entire movie kicks ass.

what else:

 

the shower scene in psycho (both of them actually because the updated version had a wicked shower scene too)

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

I guess I'm in the B-Movie/horror movie minority when I say I hate Jason X. I didn't find most of it entertaining in the least. Maybe I've just been oversaturated by the awesomeness of other recent horror movies, like Ginger Snaps, Kolobos, and the aforementioned The Dead Hate The Living, but Jason X really didn't do anything for me. Most of the deaths were pretty stupid, and it was definitely more of a parody of itself than anything else.

[Guest IDrinkRatsMilk]

my favorites:

basically all of the end of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but particularly the Chainsaw Dance (probably my favorite 10 seconds or so in any movie)

 

the lawnmower scene in Dead Alive

 

the part in Nightmare on Elm St. part... 4, I think? where the black dude says "I'll see you in hell.", and Freddy says, "Tell 'em Freddy sentcha." I like the line more than the scene, I guess, but still, pretty cool.

[Guest Lethargic]

Dead Hate the Living?? Jesus Christ that was the shittiest movie ever.

[Guest J*ingus]

Jason X had some good parts, the goofy long-haired kid and the holodeck scenes come to mind, but it had plenty of others where it felt like they weren't even trying. Still, above-average for a Jason flick.

 

My personal favorite horror movie is, has been, and most likely always will be Alien, and it has at least half a dozen moments that creep me right out every time.

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

Lethargic will now die for no-selling any movie with Penis Flytrap on the soundtrack...

 

What can I say> I dislike a good chunk of the Jason movies, especially the "acclaimed" ones (Jason X, Friday The 13th 7).

[Guest The Hollywood Fashion Plate]

Just watched the last scene of F13 5 (A New Beginning) and I'm surprised because that is the only scene from an F13 that actually scared the shit out of me. Has anybody else seen this movie besides me? (What can I say, I mark for Jason.)

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

Yeah...Tommy Jarvis became one fucked-up dude...

 

What ticked me off is that #6 didn't take off where #5 left off. Most of the other sequels did (except for those past 8). The beginning of 2 took off at the ending of 1, 3 took off at the ending of 2, etc. UNTIL 6. Although I think most people are trying to forget 5 ever existed (although I don't know why, as I liked the entire movie, awkwardly enough).

Yeah, I think the producers of F13 6 realized that they'd painted themselves into a corner by having the real Jason dead, much like the Halloween producers felt after Part III bombed. So they somehow turned psychotic killer Tommy into lovable, average-guy Tommy who was just 'a fun-loving kid from Jersey out to have fun,' as JR would put it.

[Guest Youth N Asia]

I liked Jason X, and I didn't like Jason X...

 

It was good for what it was, a friggin Jason movie...but they ruined any of the scares in the movie.

 

They tried to go for lame jokes while they are trying to scare the audiance. It just bugged the hell out of me. Jason's gone Uber...the robochick is about to her her head knocked off "I think now would be a good time to run", or some stupid shit like that. They did that a number of times, really hurt the movie for me.

 

And I watched parts of it with director commentary, and the dick comes off like he's just too good to make a Jason movie and it's such a smart and funny movie...my ass!

[Guest C.H.U.D.]

I didn't mind The Dead Hate The Living, as you could tell it was made by drooling fanboys, but I don't think it's as good as any of the Friday the 13th movies.

 

What is Kolobos? It sounds kind of cool from the imdb description, but I hope it isn't just some wierd Lynchian movie instead of a good 'ole slasher flick.

[Guest Lethargic]

I always look at the box of Kolobos and just say yeah, I don't want that. Some of the boxes have hologram covers. And we all know there are only 2 good movies with hologram covers and that's Uncle Sam and Jack Frost.

[Guest Kagato Otaku]

You no-sell Werewolf?! You less than clever oaf!

 

I swear I couldn't tell you how many times people rented that crummy movie for the goddamn shiny holo-box.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Dunno if it counts as horror or not, really, but Lecter mauling the two cops during his escape rules it. C'mon, there's a FACE RIPPING~! involved.

 

I didn't really care for Jason X either. The whole thing was just kinda 'there' for me. Although the hologram premarital sex/pot/beer scene was pure genius.

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

CHUD, Kolobos is the movie that Halloween: Resurrection ripped-off COMPLETELY (only substitute Michael Myers for The Faceless Man, and make all the deaths weak compared to Kolobos).

 

It's a good ol' slasher, and also plays mind-games. The ending is a huge mindfuck...HUGE mindfuck...

 

One death in particular is awesome. It involves a buzzsaw, a girl on the floor, and intestines spilling out.

 

CHUD, go find this movie and RENT IT. Not sure if it's a must-own, but it's worth one viewing.

[Guest C.H.U.D.]

Sounds great! I'll check it out.

 

Btw, I can't believe someone mentioned Werewolf. That is the worst movie EVER!.
