Your scariest/creepiest/most unsettling/etc film scenes

I remember a creepy bathroom scene in "What Lies Beneath" (Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer) which was actually a decent film IIRC.

This scene scared the hell out of me when it first came out. No idea why as viewing it back now isn't anything horrible but at 13 years old, it petrified me 

Going back to Mulholland Drive, the diner scene is undoubtedly terrifying, but the other scene that's always creeped me the hell out was when both ladies end up going to that house and seeing the body on the bed. Dunno. Something about how it's all decayed and the fact it's obviously lain there until they find it, so she died alone and was just left to rot on the bed.

I've sat in that diner from Mulholland Drive. Also the Big Boy diner in Burbank that Lynch was famously obsessed with (it's right near Warner Brothers) and where he came up with loads of his projects, scribbling on the back of their napkins.

I imagine it was based on a real experience, considering how bad the homeless problem is in LA and how you can be sitting somewhere and a homeless person will just come in and start going through the bins.

The opening drain scene from it. I watched it far too young thanks to my older sister putting it on for us when she was baby sitting. I'm still scared of clowns and drains to this day.

Also the baby scene from trainspotting freaked me out at the time.

Not so much a scene in a film, more the fact I was watching The Entity on my own while on watch during the night in a portacabin top of a mountain. I'd turned off all the lights and settled in for the film, but half way through had to stop, put on all the lights and make myself a drink. I dont think the howling wild cats (domestic cats), helped much either. I think it was the "this is based on a true story" bit that got me with the Entity.

It also took me a while to say "Candyman" three times in a mirror.

I love the opening scene with the telling of the ghost story in John Carpenter's The Fog. It's not scary but it does have an unsettling air to it, helped by the brilliant music by Carpenter himself:




The scene in Full Metal Jacket when Private Pyle snaps at the training camp. I know this could be considered more of a war film, but I've always thought this particular Vietnam movie was more of a psychological horror:



One more, and back to John Carpenter again, this time with a scene from In the Mouth of Madness. The part with the paperboy who is trapped in a neverending cycle (hurhur) of being unable to escape the town of Hobbs End. He even very visibly ages too, just to rub in how long he's been trying to escape. It's really unnerving and you're willing the characters to just turn the car around and head back to civilisation:

I was thinking about the hospital bit as well. Brilliant.

I'm a huge John Carpenter fan and my youngest (not exactly young though as she's 22) did three nights of his films over Halloween last year. The Fog was the first one we watched (alongside The Thing as a double bill). I turned the Hue lamps a spooky green and dimmed them right down and it really enhanced the mood.

The latest remasters really accentuate the sound in ways I've never noticed before and I must have seen most of them more than a dozen times.

As someone that likes creepy stuff but is too much of a wuss to watch an entire horror film nowadays, this thread is perfect.

This scene is always the one that stands out, it creeped me the fuck out when I watched the film. It's probably more effective in the context of the film, but still very creepy by itself.

The Woman in Black (1989), this was a film we watched at middle school in English class.

This scene had been burned into my mind since it shocked me.

Mr Pipes in his glory hole and Sarah Greene(?) being pulled into it will forever haunt my dreams.

That Wind in the Willows scene looks amazing

Speaking of terrifying childhood VHS memories, the obscure Hungarian cartoon Hugo the Hippo used to scare the shit out of me. The shark attack sequence (get to the end) used to make me physically upset.
