I read The Shining in high school, before I saw the movie. I had trouble sleeping for several weeks after. I still think that scene is much more disturbing in the book than the movie, but both are excellent.
Movie scenes that freaked you out.
- Thread starter Gingerbread Demon
- Start date
Penultimate scene from John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness.. When the heroine pushes the PoD into the mirror image and then gets sucked in with... The grainy, black and white image of her trying to swim back while being pulled by two sets of gnarled, grotesque hands was freaky then and freaky now!
The bit in Poltergeist where the mum is flung onto the ceiling and her shirt pushed up so you see her panties.... Freaky scene and really well done given the time. Well freaky the very first time I saw the movie and read up on what they had intended originally to do. Originally hands were to come out of the ceiling and start molesting her.
Word. That freaked me out.
Not movie related, but this creeped me out a bit. I really liked how The Pokemon Company paced this mini episode. Had a nice, creepy atmosphere to it.
They ripped off The Thing.
Possible, but we're talking about Supergirl.
I haven't seen that show here at all. Don't have pay TV so can't really comment but if it's something like the Thing that you noticed how similar it was I'd say it's almost a rip off then. Or as some call it an "homage"
Yeah, that's sort of how a "ripoff" works.
I am surprised to see that show is doing well.
Sweet Movie has some truly disgusting hard to watch scenes. Hunger has people smearing their own shit on the wall.
Any random scene from any Zulawski movie.

Human Centipede.........
Not ever watching this again.

How about that scene behind the restaurant in Mulholland Drive? It's memorable because it sets up a such strong sense of dread about what is back there, but it was a monster in a dream, so it wouldn't really be back there, right? And then there it is! I went to see the movie again because I couldn't stop thinking about it, and the scene creeped me out again, even knowing what's was coming.
I can't believe this thread has gone on this long without anyone ever mentioning Takashi Miike. 
^ Be very, very glad if you don't know who Takashi Miike is.
