what was the scariest movie scene you ever saw?

Explain.

The ending scene with the FBI (iirc?) explaining that a lorry had just overturned spilling pods everywhere and thus alerting the authorities of the invasion. It was supposed to end with the protagonist screaming on the motorway as lorry after lorry full of pods went past, the studio made them change it to a more optimistic ending.

It's been a while since I've seen it, so I'm not sure if I'm remembering it entirely correctly, but I definitely remember the gist of it.

That IS pretty fuckin' creepy.

A scene which I find scary is the pit scene from the 2005 version of King Kong. It's mostly because I'm really creeped out by bugs, I found the scene pretty hard to watch which is impressive given that it's mostly CG.

I'm also going to second the Pale Man scenes from Pan's Labrinyth. It's classic dark fairy tale and Del Toro takes you there. We all know you're not supposed to eat the magical fruit but Ofelia does and we see a fairy lose his spine over it. And that thing with him having to insert his eyes into the palm of his hands, oh no.

And then he pounds on the other side of the chalk door to get into her bedroom after she escapes, oh no no, no thank you. Do not want, ever, under any circumstances.

Oh, Pale Man, how could I forget about you?

Seriously, fuck that guy.

Chalk another one for me.

A Clockwork Orange: I never saw the movie, but I saw the scene on a countdown that played during the Halloween season. Let's just say I won't be listening to "Singin' in the Rain" the same way ever again...

I never saw all of A Clockwork Orange. All I remember is being fourteen and crammed into my best friend's bedroom with a gaggle of other kids, all of us sprawled across her massive bed, trying to get a good view at her tiny television set and then... that rape scene...

And man, it didn't even get that far into it and I was just way too disturbed and disoriented by the film to finish. I think I, like, hung out with her brother or just busied myself in the living room or something until the movie was over.

It didn't scare me but it disoriented me and I kind of didn't want to get oriented in terms of that movie. I think I just kind of knew watching it at fourteen wouldn't have been exactly condusive to developing a healthy mindset. >_>

I don't know what scene in a horror movie I've found most visibly scary is, but in I Know What You Did Last Summer when Ben the Killer Fisherman cuts off all of Helen's hair after hiding in her closet as she goes to bed, I've checked closets/doors before bed almost every night since.

The most gruesome scene I've ever watched is probably the abortion scene in Enter the Void, especially a shot of the bloody post-abortion fetus.

Glad to see some people brought up A Clockwork Orange. Most terrifying scene for me has to be the Ludovico treatment, specially the silent footage he has to watch of the gang rape. Just...yikes. Great movie though.

I've watched that infamous scene from The Clockwork Orange. It didn't scare me at all. It did make me feel really, really sick, though.
