The 5: Halloween Edition

THIS WEEK ON THE FIVE:  ALL TIME SCARIEST MOVIE MOMENTS

It’s that time of year again where we watch horror film  marathons, put on zombie makeup, watch out for scary ghost monsters……and eat a few butterfingers forthe hell of it.  Here are our five scariest moments in horror movie history: 

  • From 1973 and Director William Friedkin: The Exorcist:  The scary crab walk down the stairs, added in the re-release was paralyzingly scary.  If you haven’t seen it, check it out this year.
  • From 2007 and Director OrenPeli:  Paranormal Activity:  The sheer terror of the moment when the sheets get blown off Katie and she gets dragged off the bed and into the hall, on a single camera shot.  Blair Witch type terror at its best.
  • From 1999 and Director M. Night Shyamalan:  The Sixth Sense:  This film is is best known for its smaller moments:  the quick, jerky momentary scares. Best moment?  When we first see the poisoned dead girl under the bed.
  • From 2001 and Director Alejandro Amenabar:   The Others:  Every halloween film list should have at least one great ghost story, and thats what The Others brings:  amazing ghost stories.  Best moments here actually happen in the background.
  • From 2002 and Director Gore Verbinski:  The Ring:  Most memorable moment?  When a ghoulish  and dripping wet Samara comes crawling out of the tv– literally bonechilling.
