[Whattodoffs]

Just seen a post on FB where people are talking about a scene from a film/TV series that has stuck in their minds.....seeing some of them has brought back some pretty scary memories.

Mine is the scene from Salems Lot where the vampire floats up to the window, taps on it and rasps "let me in".

Took me years after that to look out the window in the dark
Does anyone else have "fond" memories??

The glass scene in The Omen when I was younger.
The rape scene in This is England
The 'squeal like a pig' scene in Deliverance.
All of A Clockwork Orange.
I don't watch horror films, I don't really enjoy being scared or excessive violence or torture scenes, so I'm happily ignorant of a lot of these!

@Robbybobtail

Spooky horror stuff just makes me laugh, but the end of The Wicker Man freaks me out

I agree, the way Edward Woodward shouts “oh, god, oh god help me!”at the end is terrifying! It’s an excellent film - it keeps you so tense throughout. The remake with Nicholas Cage was terrible though.

Me, too. It's the suspense.

There's one that still haunts me and I can't remember the name.
It's similar to "And then there were none" but it isn't.
They're all in a house though.

Hitchcock are just the best ito suspense.

The sixth sense, the scene where the little boy is locked in the tiny cupboard on the stairs at someone's birthday party. Not really scary as such, but I think it sticks with me because I couldn't stop thinking how distraught I would be if that was my little boy.

Changeling. Again not a "scary" film but horrific and heartbreaking. I would not recommend watching it to anyone.

Jeepers creepers. I used to smoke but oy outside. It was defined of the reasons for me quiting. I was terrified to go out the back in the dark. Didn’t have an outside light at that time either and the garden just disappeared into darkness.

Yes!! And he has rips in his jumper.

And from there, the scene were Bruce Willis replays tape recordings from another boy a S hears 'save me / have mercy' or something in whispers...

The scene in the walking dead where Negan bludgeons the ginger guy and Glenn to death. I honestly think I am traumatised by that scene I think about it far too often.

@HelpMeh

There's lots of jumps in Haunting of Hill House. The dumbwaiter when the boy gets trapped with the thing in the basement 😱😱

I loved this and ..SPOILER ALERT ...

When we discover all the awful thing Nel had experienced and seen were premonitions of her death after being tormented by them all her life

Carrie, right at the end where the hand shoots out the grave terrified me , and Salems Lot as well.

Had a baby at the very start of lockdown when everything was so very unknown and terrifying.

On first day home from hospital, we watched “The Platform” on Netflix about a sinister place where you can starve to death or kill to survive. It was absolutely horrendous.

Add new baby hormones/unknown global pandemic/news stories where all the fruit and veg was going to rot in the fields/panic buying in the shops and I seriously don’t know how I didn’t lose my fuckin marbles big time.

I basically compensated by becoming a mid-level doomsday prepper.

The sixth sense is also scary because it shows employers a super devoted worker who continues to go to work even after dying and it just sets unreasonable expectations 😂

Haunting of Hill House - the end of the Bent Neck Lady episode. Won’t ruin it but... goosebumps thinking about it!

This thing from Children of the Dog Star. I can’t even remember what it did, but the 4 year old me was terrified and the picture still makes me shudder.

@littlepattilou Ha, that scene made me scream even when I watched it a second time!

The scene in the original The Woman In Black where the woman comes screaming in through the windown. It's traumatised me for years.

@LividLoving - The Platform is on my watch list -
Shall I cross it off?

@tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz You beat me to it! Thought about that episode for ages afterwards!

When the Wind Blows by Raymond Briggs.

NOTHING like The Snowman!

When I was in high school I was obsessed with the fear of nuclear war and this animation didn't help...at all. The old couple following all the rules put out by the government but slowly dying as nobody came.

Blair Witch - it doesn't work on everyone but it worked for me. The first scary moment was when they'd followed the compass in one direction all day only to end up back where they started. As someone who likes to go camping and likes walking in the woods I found this a terrifying concept! You knew then it was hopeless.

The Saw movies. I think moment, which freaked me the most was after the participants realised they needed to work together to stay alive. But too many had already died and one person so determined to live sawed through their hand and up their wrist to the elbow. Then there were the Hostel movies. Cutting though the back of someone’s legs just above the heel always gets me- they then can’t walk and know they’re going to die horribly....

@WeeDangerousSpike, good call. I read that in.my youth too. So disturbing !

@Newbie1999

Yes! I thought this was so so sad

Someone may have mentioned this but the awful, awful tree rape scene from The Evil Dead. I was young when I saw it and it was just so wrong.

Ha! Sorry newbie, x post

@HereIgoagainagain

Has anyone mentioned threads ? Seeing the mushtoom cloud in that still haunts me at times .

OMG, yes, and the mutations were horrific. The worst bit was seeing the shadows where the bodies had been, watching them disapear. Threads and Aids adverts scared us to bloody death in the 80's. No wonder we were so promisuous/ they called it the return of the swinging (60's)

@MyGazeboisLeaking watch it if you have full cupboards and a breezy attitude. It’s a good film but

There was a film about twin sisters - I haven't seen it Since and don't know what it's called. I'd love to know, if anyone recognises it!

Sisters travelling in a car, one falls asleep and the other ties her shoelaces together for laughs. Only the car crashes and bursts into flames and sister can't get out because shoelaces.

So dead sister haunts/possesses alive sister, and makes her kill all her friends and family. Pushes a radio in the bath while her mums in etc. The scene I remember clear as day is just the shot of a hand, with a pizza cutter in it, going up the banister as sister goes up the stairs to kill. Pizza cutter is gauging away at the woodwork as it goes up the stairs. Scared the shit out of me, but not seen it in 35 years.

@cricketmum84 Dog Soldiers?

Just read @Kndg'S post - the scene I'm talking about but in Carrie!? Have I conflated my movies?
