The 13 Scariest Movie Moments of All-Time
A guide to the 13 most terror-inducing scares in movie history.
1. Audition
A nasty piece of work. If you can make it through to the end the climax will leave you shaking.
2. The Blair Witch Project
The whole thing is pretty spooky but it’s the scene where they all come out of the tent when they hear children’s laughter that really ramps it up. You just know something awful is about to happen.
3. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The first time we see Leatherface is shocking, and the scares just keep coming in the gory original.
4. The Exorcist 3
Bad movie, but it has one chilling scene that you’ll never forget. The sight of the crotchety old lady coming up behind Nurse Keating with the medical shears is one you won’t soon forget.
5. Poltergeist
If the chairs being stacked up and the spirit launching out of the TV doesn’t do it for you, then the clown most definitely will after all it’s the clown that launched a million phobias.
6. The Shining
The scene of little Danny riding his toy bike around the large, empty corridors of the hotel brings on the anticipation, but it’s really the sight to the twin-sisters that will stay in your nightmares.
7. Halloween
The closet scene. Enough said
8. The Silence of the Lambs
When everything goes black and we see the killer coming up behind an unawares Jodie Foster.
9. Nightmare on Elm Street
“You can’t escape, you have to sleep sometime”. Who else thinks their insomnia can be blamed on this one terrifying line?
10. Ringu
After an hour and a half of slowly building up tension the climax is a shocking end.
11. Cure
The opening scene will have your heart beating faster than ever before. A masterclass in tension.
12. Suicide Club
The scene where a huge group of girls jump to their death off a train platform is chilling.
13. Alien
The scene where the Alien bursts out will make you jump, but it’s really the constant fear about where it will come from next that leaves you clinging to your seat.
