Scary movie moment

We did the scariest movie idea, but how about just one scene that made your hair stand up or gave you nighmares?

I'm thinking "The Haunting". When the lights come back on and the girl whose hand she thought she was holding in bed is on the other side of the room.

In Pitch Black where the guy finally finds his lighter, fires it up and all the monsters jump back.

The part in The Ring (not even a scary one) where the little girl creeps out of the TV, and she walks across the room with those weird halting movements. :jameo:

My Sweetest Boy
Two come to mind...

Heeeere's Johnny!

The other is from one of the Jason movies. I didn't see many of them but one night late I was watching one of them and Jason fell from the loft of a barn. The girl victim of course thought Jason was dead. But when she tiptoed by him, he grabbed her leg. I screamed.. Otter came out and turned off the TV.

A couple;

Blair Witch when the kid is standing in the corner; makes my skin crawl.

There are a couple of movies where the demon crawls upside down on the ceiling. That always scares the crap out of me.

Silence of the lambs; Bill reaching for Jodie in the dark.

In the end of Saving Private Ryan when the german that they let go earlier is on top of adam goldberg trying to stab him and he is whispering "shh shh" as he does it... that makes my skin crawl, I dont even want to watch that movie anymore because of that part :frown:

Good one!
I'm with you about the beasties that chase you running on ceilings and walls too.

..is freaking horrible! Which is saying something in perhaps the most realistic, graphic and brutally sickening flick of them all. There is this despondancy to it; not that the German is being evil or vicious, just saying, 'Hey, you're a soldier and I am a solider and we have to kill each other. We just do, so, please, you lost and let's do this as gently as possibly. I mean no harm, but I must do this. I am sorry. Please die in peace."

I always said that since I am such a wussy if I were forced to go fight in a war I would hide or pretend I was already dead........until I saw this movie. It is probably one of the best movies ever made but I can not bring myself to watch it again because of that scene, it has affected me terribly :frown:

...that part is horrible, to. He's not a coward. He goes on to kill the German. He's just this REMF guy thrown into a cauldron he can't comprehend and is ####ting his pants. He is a perfect metaphor for those all bent out of shape over torture.

His ideas of fair play and justice lead to an enemy walking away when killing him was the obvious right thing to do.

It comes back to bite him in the ass and costs the life of a comrade; his tender sensibilities get paid for by someone else.

He comes to his senses and kills the German in cold blood as should have been the first time around.

So, not coward. He learns the lesson every soldier in history learned. Ideally, he goes on to say;

"War is cruelty. There's no use trying to reform it, the crueler it is the
sooner it will be over."

Next time, he kills his enemy before his enemy kills him. Which is the whole point.

Think about that...

...as a citizen. Think about what we ask our young men to do when we send them to fight. When we are prepared to destroy our enemy, viciously, completely, it does two things; helps us win and prevents needing to fight in the first place.

When we are unprepared to accept the violence of war, we invite it.

That is the cruel catch 22 of man kind and our history.

Had anyone else known that he was that close and did nothing, they prolly would have killed him anyways... a coward is a coward...

...it. If someone else was there who wasn't freezing up they would have killed the German and put a foot in his azz and said 'now do you understand? Let's go."

Combat history is replete with 'cowards' who overcame their fears and went on to be as good a fighter as anyone after costing a comrade their life.

I guess in all reality, neither you or I were there.........so we don't really know what would have happened... :shrug: hijacking finished...
