Creepy movie moments

What moments in movies do you find creepy? Perhaps it's a single line of dialog delivered just the right way to send that chill down your spine. Or maybe a music cue that gives you an unsettled feeling.

I was watching Jaws the other night, and the scene came up in which Brody and Hooper were taking the boat out to find the shark. Hooper's radar finds what he supposes is a school of mackerel or something. But then he realizes that "there's something else out there."

The unease in his tone coupled with the score picking up in response to this unknown thing out there in the darkened sea has always been a source of spook.

Re: Creepy movie moments

I'm not clever enough to post pictures or videos but I always was kind of weirded out by that scene in The Gift where Kate Blanchett's having the dream and she sees that guy playing viloin by the swamp. It does that quick zoom in on him and the music goes all wacky..that part for some reason always gives me the creeps.

Re: Creepy movie moments

The scene in the kitchen in a Tale of Two Sisters creeped me out a little.

A lot of the caving, pre-monster stuff in The Descent creeped me the f out as well. (as well as the early glimpses)

Re: Creepy movie moments

Salem's Lot (Original)

The vampire brother scratching the window at the hospital.

The vampire talking and laughing upstairs at the teacher's house.

The vampire seen when the teacher goes into that room and he keeps calling him "Teeaacchheerr" with glowing eyes.

The vampire boy sitting up in the coffin to attack the grave digger

4 creepy as heck seens in one movie. First seen it when I was young, so I am sure that is why it has stuck with me

Re: Creepy movie moments

I cannot believe no one has mentioned the twin girls from THE SHINING. To this day, whenever I approach a long hallway, I cannot help but get the shivers recalling that scene.

not as much creeped me out, but this scene scared the shit out of me.
