This one is gonna make people laugh at me I'm sure, but I got pretty freaked out at quite a few scenes in Insidious, the main one being when the medium woman describes the devil man to the bloke drawing him..
The end scene in Dont look now where Donald sutherland gets stabbed by a person of restricted growth wearing a red mac.Terrifying!

Here's a few I can think of.
The spider-walk scene in The Exorcist
The scene in The Shining when Jack sees the woman/corpse in room 237
The scene in Suspiria when Suzy Bannion enters a secret passageway to explore the witches' headquarters and is attacked by a reanimated, knife-wielding Sara.
The scene in The Blair Witch Project when the documentary crew gets attacked by an unseen force.
The scene in The Exorcism of Emily Rose when they are in the barn and Emily keeps chanting: "One, Two, Three, Four, Five, SIX!" over and over.
The scene in The Ring when the girl comes out of the tv.
The scene in the original The Haunting when Eleanor mistakenly believed she was holding the hand of roommate Theodora in the adjacent bed for comfort from mysterious and strange sounds surrounding their dark room.
The reoccurring nightmare scene in In the Mouth of Madness.
The alley scene in A Nightmare on Elm Street when Freddy's arms stretch out to disproportionate lengths.
The nightmare scene in Phantasm when Mike wakes up in the cemetery.
The scene in Salem's Lot of an undead, vampire boy floating outside of a bedroom window, while smiling and scratching at the glass and asking to come in.
The scene in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre when the sliding door opens up and there stands Leatherface.

Nat: Not silly at all - there were several scenes in insidious that were pretty creepy if you ask me!
Dara: That scene will haunt me forever!
Bob Gray: Kudos for thinking of so many!

At least I'm not the only one, one that I will never forget is the baby monitor scene because I always expect to hear it over my son's monitor, then I over think it and get even more creeped out.
1.The scene in Inn keepers where the bloke who has committed suicide in one of the rooms comes lurching down the cellar.EEEK!
2.The scene in Salems lot where Ryerson is rocking back and forth in the rocking chair being all menancing and hissing at his victim.Yoikes!
3.The end of Carrie where the hand thrusts up from the grave.*shudder*
4.The pencil in the ankle bit in Evil dead.(Retch!)
5.The spider crawl in Fair haired child where the boy is searching for his prey.squee!!
Got loads more,but obviously this is subjective!.

Did you enjoy Innkeepers, I bought it because it looked good, but I was a bit dissapointed and I wanted a happy ending where the guy and girl got together :(

It was low budget, wow did not know.. I know what you mean, modern horror's took a turn for the worse but I think now with The Possession and Sinister, they appear to be getting better..

I know what you mean, modern horror's took a turn for the worse but I think now with The Possession and Sinister, they appear to be getting better...Speaking of fairly high budget horror ,I really enjoyed Livid too.Well creepy.I enjoy French horror,they really go for the jugular(literally) and while it wasnt as good as Interior it had some really chilling scenes.If you havent seen it,worth a look.
The nurse Scene from Exorcist III as shes walking around in the corridor and the guy in a sheet with sheers turns up is quite good. Also the "get out of my chair" scene in The Eye (original virsion) always makes people jump.

those are great ones. I'll also add the obvious:
The ending of The Beyond
The Ending Of Hellraiser 2: Hellbound.
The head drilling scene in City Of The Living Dead
The Splinter in the eye in Zombie Flesh Eaters.
The revealing of Mater Tenebrarum in Inferno

The tunnel scene in 28 Days Later.
The camcorder night vision reveal of one of the creatures in The Descent.
The Nightmare sequence in Serpent and the Rainbow where Pullman's character is in the coffin filling with blood.
The library ghost scene in Ghostbusters.
The murder scene of Mrs. Gittelson in The House by the Cemetery.
