Things that make you go....BOO!

It is almost Halloween, so, of course, it is spooooooooooky time. Makes me think of scary movies and all those things that go bump in the night. I decided to make up a list of 20 of my favorite horror movie moments....the ones that really got me good....

(* warning - there are movie spoilers in here, so if you haven't seen the movies, then you might not want to read anymore - hehe)

1) The Excorcist....Regan's head spinning around....projectile vomiting....pretty much that whole movie is freaky-scary.

2) Alien - when everyone is at the table eating and talking and all of a sudden Kane starts choking and convulsing, and then WHAM....alien comes out of his gut. Great one!

3) Poltergeist - When Robbie looks under his bed and then sits back up, and there is that evil clown doll. That scene scared me shitless when I was a kid.

4) The Amityville Horror - when the priest is in the house and he hears that horrible voice saying "Get out!" - that one still gives me chills.

5) Psycho - 2 scenes here....the famous shower scene (no explanation needed) and the final scene where you find out that Norman's mother is really nothing but a pile of bones....then you see just how whacked out Norman Bates really is.

6) Rosemary's Baby - the final scene where you see the baby's eyes.....ewwww!!

7) Halloween - When Annie is in the car and sees the fogged up window...you just know there is gonna be trouble!

8) Suspiria - in the beginning, when you see the eyes from out of the darkness of the window....scary!!!!

9) The Grudge - just the way that woman moves gives me the chills.

10) The Ring - when Samara comes out of the tv....made me look at tv's in a whole new way.

11) Friday the 13th - When Alice is on the lake at the end and everything seems peaceful and good, and then WHAM....up comes Jason.

12) A Nightmare on Elm Street - When Tina is getting whacked and climbing up the walls and you can see the cuts appearing on her skin but there's no one there.

13) Scream - the entire first scene where Drew Barrymore gets it.

14) Raiders of The Lost Ark - ok, so it's not a horror movie, but toward the end when those guys' faces start to melt, well, that is pretty freaky.

15) Texas Chainsaw Massacre - that whole movie is chalk-full of scary goodness.

16) Phantasm - the end when The Tall Man comes out of the mirror and grabs Mike.

17) Carrie - At the end when Sue is visiting Carrie White's "grave" and puts the flowers down.....and up comes Carrie's hand.

18) Jaws - when Hooper goes down to see the wrecked boat and pulls the shark tooth out of the hull, then the head of the dead body pops up ....BOO!

19) The Evil Dead - Cheryl and the tree - nuff said.

20) Night of The Living Dead - the scene with Barbara and Johnny and Johnny is attacked by the zombie - I didn't see that one coming.

Honorable Mention - The Birds - when Melanie is sitting outside the school and the crows start gathering up on the jungle gym...and little, by little, more and more gather up until they....... attack!

I am sure I missed a bunch of good moments, but these are probably my favorites.
