Of course it's the dog scene. Legitimately perhaps the most horrifying thing you could ever see. Every time it just rocks my world.



Also more shoutouts to John Carpenter to show us the uncanny creepiness of stillness, as in there, Prince of Darkness, and Halloween. Something can be so unsettling without making a slightest movement.


The Fly

Spoiler for not the vomiting:
Not a great video but at least the specific scene is there and intact. The transformation is god damn gnarly, but the scene at around 53:10 where Geena Davis births a giant writhing maggot is absolutely pulverizing. I had to pause it the first time after that to gather my composure.



The Shining

Spoiler for ice cream:
It was quite possibly this scene so long ago that ignited the craving for horror. This was off the wall shiver inducing, the fading in of deafness/static to the line delivered while he was still talking out loud , it's like he's addressing you directly.



Under the Skin

Spoiler for skin removal:
Already a visually tantalizing and tense movie, this moment damn near gave me a stroke. The sudden impact followed immediately by the deskeletonizing of this guy, ****ing god.



The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

Spoiler for eyes:
18:14 classic



Audition

Spoiler for not torture:
This movie was already really gripping for a while but was just launched so deep into sudden horror territory when that bag spazzed
Tetsuo: The Iron Man

Spoiler for immediate brutality:
The very first scene of this movie, where this guy is shoving the metal rod into a wide gash in his leg made me feel defiled. The combination of splattering blood, labored breathing, and worst of all the horribly trembling hands make it a cringer. But we should also add maggots.

And of course the subway chase. This movie has so much hard to swallow imagery.



The Howling

Spoiler for transformation:
the werewolves are pretty god damn terrifying so it's no surprise the transformation process is also not quite beautiful



Possession

Spoiler for creature:
this is just a fan video with the Joy Division song, but the scene in the movie revealing the full on creature got the pulse racing. You can see it after a minute or so.



Black Swan

Spoiler for mirrors:
0 to 100 instantaneously
