Ones that still unnerve you today?
These are my favourite scary moments:
The Ring - at the beginning of the film when the girl goes into her bedroom and the girl from the video immediately approaches her and you see the front angle of the girls face alter appearance instantaneously.
"Don't Look Now" - 70s horror starring Donald Sutherland. The moment at the end when he tries to befriend the person in the red coat, thinking its his daughter, just to find out it is a evil faced little dwarf which promptly approaches him and slits his throat.
3) Asylum (1972) - British horror film starring Robert Powell as he interviews for the head doc position at an asylum. The end scene where the crazed Dr Starr strangles him to death and then listens to his heart through a stethoscope whilst insanely giggling and then cackling evilly
4) "Rosemarys Baby" The end scene where you see the baby - scary stuff!
5) "Exorcist" - the edited scene of the spider walk!
What are yours?

Oh and not forgetting these moments:
The Shining (1980) The young woman naked in the bath who turns into a corpse when Jack Nicholson is kissing her and he sees this reflected in the bathroom mirror.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original) The whole sensation of watching a woman held against her will by a demented family. The whole scene where you see her bound and tied to a chair when shes sitting around the dinner table where the family are eating dinner.
Sixth Sense (1999) The scene where the little boy goes to the bathroom and you see the temperature gauge indicate a sudden drop in temperature and you see a motherly looking figure briskly move across the screen, behind the boy standing at the toilet.
Halloween (1978) Basically the whole film, especially seeing the insane people from the mental institute walking freely around the institutes grounds in the rain, wearing white bed clothes.
Theres so many!

The Ring - quite a few scenes freaked me out!

1. Ring (japanese original) - sadako coming out of the TV set
2. The Shining - seeing the twin girls suddenly appear for the first time
3. Don't Look Now - seeing the dwarf attack at the end - did run into a small bloke in hanley once wearing same anorak with wrinkled face once, didn't half startle me, looked just like the dwarf woman.
4. Scary Movie 2 - when Jada Pinkett gets killed in the cinema - watched this at the cinema and everyone was moving forward looking around to see who was next to them!
5. Ring 2 (japanese original) - sadako grabs hold of main character suddenly as she's climbing up the well.

i don't comprehend, this would be a vey very own question. i'm no longer asserting "The Blair Witch project" is the scariest action picture i've got ever seen, yet I confident as hell did no longer pass tenting that summer season. different than that, the 70's horror exchange into particularly good. the unique Amityville Horror, The Shining, the human beings below the stairs (80's, i comprehend). those are issues that have been frightening to me. i think of they bore those youthful toddlers. I continually enjoyed the previous zombie video clips, yet i'm prepared on the belief... it somewhat is in contrast to they have been that frightening. appreciate! Edit: to somebody elses ingredient: I very lots enjoyed the ring... between the excellent, greater cutting-edge video clips i've got seen... by no potential observed the 2nd.

My favourites are already listed...Rosemary's Baby at the end, the Exorcist spider walk (sorry, I know these are yours but I do agree!), Psycho near the end with his mother, The Shining with the girls cut up in the corridor (also the lead up to it, with Damien cycling around the place), The House on Haunted Hill (original) when the first 'ghost' appears and later on the dancing skeleton, Evil Dead when the girl is carried into the woods by the tree, The Wicker Man (original) at the very end...the list goes on!

I love my horror films and don't normally get that spooky feeling but there are a couple , Aliens they are hunting through the ship in the dark looking for some when it cuts to outside with a lighting flash i jumped a mile. Another film that spooked me was the Fallen when the spirit is jumping bodies whistling the haunting tune every time he looks one way its in a person going other way very nicely shot.I have a cringy feelings around spiders for some reason and the beginning of Arachnophobia meant i haven't been able to watch it .
Things like Hostel , Saw , Evil Dead yes gory not frightening or spooky think watching Bad Taste has made me immune to gore.

Two immediately spring to mind for me:
1) the whole of the first Alien movie - still scares me whenever I watch it
2) the scene in Jaws where the guy's head appears in the sunken boat - jumped a mile at that, but I was only 10 years old!!
Most of the older horror films look so tame these days . . .

I have to agree with you the end of Rosemay's Baby.
That kid in the original Omen gets me ("I love you Damian!") when the nanny hangs herself at the birthday party (also in The Omen 2 when the doctor is killed on the elevator, that's stuck with me...).
Anything having to do with eyes.
The part in Signs when the kid is standing by the coal grate and Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix have these horrified looks on their faces and then the hand moves (the 1st and only time I have screamed in a theater).
In the Masters of Horror series, Takashi Miike's entry had me covering my eyes it was so awful! The torture scene was a bit too much for me, someone who sat through Hostel and thought it wasn't gory enough (or scary enough).

I dont genrally get scared from horror films but when I watched the texus chainsaw masicure there was a bit that made me squrim.
This was when leatherface (the guy with the wierd face) hung the other by his back on the spike.
Also the ending to the film sent a shiver down my spine but I dont wasnt to give away the ending lol :)

i like your choices but my personal scariest bit in the shining is when the wife finds jack's 'novel'. ok it's not a traditional scary moment but can you imagine finding that and realising that the person you're holed up with in the middle of nowhere is insane?
'ju-on - the grudge' the japanese and the american one have many scary moments. most japanese and korean horrors have a really creepy atmosphere.
the omen when the nanny hangs herself is really creepy
the bit in seven with the not quite corpse
the wicker man (original) when they're doing the cut of the head dance thing, even though i know that no one's head gets cut off, it still scares the bejeezers out of me.

Texas chainsaw massacre, remake. The guy who has his leg lopped off whilst running away, leatherface then dips the stump in rock salt and hangs the guy from a meat hook through his spine.
