That part just does it for me, along with many other scenes in the film. Don't get me wrong, it's an excellent horror film filled with tons of scares, but ever since I saw it for the first time, I haven't been able to go back. It's just incredibly scary.
Another noteworthy entry would be 'The Descent.' Not only was it haunting and made me jump countless times, but I first saw it the night before release at a theater my friend worked at when I visited him over the summer in South Carolina around the time of release. It was just he, his two friends, and I in the entirety of this large, dark theater watching the film. For some reason, it made it that much more scary. We went home and sat in the living room until daylight talking about it, and to this day, no matter how many times I see it, it still scares the hell out of me.
In the came, you hunt through the woods with only a flashlight trying to find notes telling the story of the 'Slender man', but as you do he slowly creeps up on you. He comes closer every time you see him, but when you see him he isn't moving.
Sometimes you only see his feet underneath a truck, but when you turn back around again he'll be next to the tree you were just standing at. You never see him walking, and he has no face, he just slowly edges closer to you the more you look at him.
Here's a link to a couple of play-throughs. It's really fun stuff.

This one's pretty good.
And Psycho is super scary. There is just something about
Another great film for the scary sort is Halloween, possibly my favorite horror film. I spend the time around halloween rewatching the films whenever they are on, usually on AMC. There is a great spark that comes from these films. The original was so real, and didn't have all the corny crap you find in films today. It seemed more real than ever. And scenes with Laurie staring out her window and seeing Michael, then looking away and in a flash he is gone is the kind of stuff that made me a very paranoid little boy. Michael is king. He was the one who made series like Friday the 13th and Elm Street possible because he brought back the horror film and set some standards for the genre. The teenagers all being picked off, the silent yet frightening man with a weapon, the whole "is he dead, or not" argument, and that great musical accompaniment to the killing, and so many more. Halloween as a series just has more to offer than Jason or Freddy. There are times where you feel sympathy for the guy, like when he meets Laurie time and time again. You just get a sense that there is a soul behind the mask and the killing, unlike for Jason and Freddy who come off as very one-dimensional. And Loomis is not only one of horror's greatest characters, but one of the greatest characters ever! The man is an absolute thrill to watch, even without a white cat ;) . And what I love about Halloween is there is a long continuation between films. We get some stuff with Laurie and Loomis, and then Michael's niece, and at the end of it all it comes full circle. Great, great series, and that annual time for a marathon is fast approaching!
I also love the Scream films, though I haven't seen all of 4 and will pretend it never happened as I can see how stupid it was. I was first introduced to the films when I was around 8 or 9. I went over to a friend's house and he popped in all the films, one by one. My little mind didn't even know what was coming. For hours and hours I saw horrific stabbing after horrific stabbing, another teenage life torn away without warning. I had nightmares for a long time after that, and now and again they still get me. I just want to yell "BEHIND YOU, DEWEY!" a lot, and I swear, the death of
I'm not really scared by many horror films. When I was a little kid though I used to be scared of going to sleep because of Nightmare On Elm Street (which I still think is without a doubt the best slasher film ever made).
Another one is The Wickerman. It isn't scary, but it's really f*cking creepy. Creeps me out every time I watch it, especially at the end. The remake just makes me laugh.
I am dying to see the original.
The only time I've seen Nosferatu is on Spongebob I'm ashamed to say :(
It was just infantile.
Only got made because everyone knew the controversy it stirred up would be enough to make its money back. Not even a patch on Hostel, which itself is pretty average.
The main guy in it is pretty creepy though, if somewhat on the hammy side.
