You know what always gets me in 1408?

The scene where he's looking out the window trying to wave down a neighbor in another building to ask for help. He's waving and waving as the neighbor mimics his movements when it starts to dawn on him that he's looking at himself. Then a shadow of a man with a knife comes into view. He looks behind him and doesn't notice anything, and looks back at the "neighbor" in time to see the shadow raising the knife to strike him in the back.

Man, that sends shivers down my spine every time I see it.

There's also the Nurse Station scene from Exorcist 3, it's a good one:

Love, love, love it!

[Anthropophagus]

The end of Se7en

[Rawhead Rex]

"WHAT'S IN THE BOX!?!?!"

That's gotta be up there...

Also, I liked the reveal in High Tension...maybe I was high when I first saw it, but I didn't see that coming.

Senseless...
When the nurse killed the lead tormentor...but they went ahead with the torture anyway. That threw me a bit...very unexpected. I thought she'd help him escape, but nuh-uh!

I've more recently been watching the Paranormal Activity movies. I didn't like the first one, but the second and third was nice.

Paranormal Activity 2: scare moment:
The mother is checking on her kid when suddenly she is pulled out of the room and down steps by unknown entity.

Paranormal Activity 3: scare moment 1:
When the crappy oscillating fan/camera is rotating back from the front door to the kitchen table, where the babysitter is sitting. In the first rotation there is someone under a sheet by the front door, then in the second rotation that person is behind the babysitter. After a moment and before the babysitter sees the sheet drops.

Paranormal Activity 3: scare moment 2:
There is a camera in the girls room and the oldest, Katie is chasing the younger girl when she hits a very solid something while on camera. She is screaming for her mother when suddenly she is pulled up off the ground by her hair.

All three of those moments made me jump.

There are tons more, but those are the most recent ones.

[Anthropophagus]

- The ending of "House" where the cat painting projectile-vomits blood (that whole movie is a WTF!?!? moment)
