“What’s A Single Shot From A Film That Will Haunt You Forever?”: 30 People Reveal The Scariest Single Shots In Films They Will Never Be Able To Shake Off
Oftentimes, a horror movie is nothing but a bunch of cheap jumpscares. You know how it goes, the character is slowly walking into a quiet dim room, then they look at the mirror and bam, a loud, jarring sound blasts from the speakers as a ghost suddenly appears in the reflection. It's an effective technique if you want to spook the audience for a second.
But to truly traumatize them, to plant a nightmarish seed into their mind, filmmakers need to craft a tension that lasts for the entire script, chilling set design, costumes, and make-up as well as plenty of other details. It's difficult and expensive, but every now and then we get such a gem.
Interested in which productions have frightened people the most, actor Elijah Wood recently tweeted a question, asking everyone to share stills from the screen that continue to terrify them long after seeing the credits. Here are some of the replies he has received.

I've seen it once, and only once. The little girl in the red coat. Heartbreaking, and soul wrenching.
This is the only movie that has brought me close to tears. A must watch.
Mine, at the time, in that movie, was the little girl in red coat. She was so obvious because of age, and yes, her coat had red hue amongst all the grey/black/white in the movie. As an adult, who gained more trauma under my belt. Yes, that breakdown truely gets to me too now. I could have/should have done more. These are feelings people often have to endure after totally awful things happens, outside their control, but they still have to process them. He saved some, but retrospectively, so many still died.
I looked through all of these but didn't find the mouth to mouth breathing scene from Sometimes a Great Notion.
Strangely enough, I was thinking about that scene earlier this morning. One of the most harrowing things I've ever seen.

This is from Jojo Rabbit. He knows this is his mom by the shoes. She actively resisted the Nazis and this was herpunishment.
And he tries to tie her shoes but he doesn't know how! Sob!
Load More Replies...I know a lot of people write Taika Waiti off for being too comedic, but this had to be one of the most heart-wrenching and poignant scenes in a movie that I'm seen.

I watched this film (Jojo Rabbit) for the first time recently, and it is so sad! It's about a boy living in Nazi Germany who finds out his mum is hiding a Jew in his (dead) sister's bedroom. His mum is found out to be working with the rebellion, and is hanged. He recognises her by her shoes, and tries to tie the laces but doesn't know how. It's very sad, but obviously the Allies win in the end so Elsa (the Jew) doesn't have to hide anymore and they arent in danger anymore.
Oof. Just seeing this pic took my breath away. This is such a good movie. Everything Taika Waititi does is absolute gold.
Oh yeah. This scene, especially after he had followed a beautiful butterfly . in winter, that led to his mom hanging there....just sent me into tears. This kid's acting was incredible
But have you wondered that what makes horror movies scary might be... us?
"We are the monster," said James Kendrick, Ph.D., associate professor of film and digital media in Baylor's College of Arts & Sciences. Kendrick has authored three books: Darkness in the Bliss-Out: A Reconsideration of the Films of Steven Spielberg; Hollywood Bloodshed: Violence in the 1980s American Cinema; and Film Violence: History, Ideology, Genre.
He believes that the themes of horror films have changed and developed over the years to capture the zeitgeist and adapt to societal fears.
Scene when Bilbo asks Frodo to see the ring one last time in The Lord of the Rings.
Went to see this with friends and one was leaning in to say something to another about the time this happened and she let out a little scream.
Elephants on parade is one of the biggest wtf moments in children's movies. Right up there with the alligator in all dogs go to heaven or those weird puppets in labyrinth that play catch with their heads
I forgot about the weird pull apart Labyrinth birds. Those freak me out still.
Load More Replies...My mom wouldn't let me see it. I couldn't understand how a Disney movie wouldn't be suitable for a kid. Now I understand that it's hardly suitable for an adult!
Yup. This gave me nightmares as a kid, and I still can't watch Dumbo
It's "pink elephants on parade" from Dumbo - look it up on youtube it's creepy as heck!
Load More Replies...Recently rewatched this episode for the millionth time and they still creep me out
These f****rs still haunt my dreams, aaaallllll these years later!
I still cannot watch this episode alone. Like I am fuzzing up my eyes NOT to see these guys.
I've never really been scared by that show, but this episode is terrifying!
Load More Replies..."Character and story, atmosphere and the monster. That’s all you really need," Kendrick said.
"Interesting, engaging characters in an effective setting pitted against some kind of monstrosity. That is the core of the genre, and anything and everything else grows from and functions to support those three elements."
I think I cried for 5 hours straight after this scene. Just looking at it my eyes still get wet! The movie : Life is beautiful
WHAT?? Looks comedy (because of facial expression and body language, but I'm really REALLY hoping I read this wrong)
No, it's a very tragic scene. Father pretends it's all fun and games, in order to prevent trauma for his son (who is watching).
Load More Replies...I’m not sure why people with differences of opinion who are particularly rude about it are getting downvoted. Don’t they actually get banned if they’re down vote it? That seems ridiculous for just not having the same taste in movies.
As heartbreaking as this movie is, it is one of my all time favorites. His love for his son was absolutely the best thing about it.
I loved this movie! It was heart-wrenching though. I watched it in the theater, and once the credits rolled up, not one person got up and there wasn't a dry eye.
The god awful scene in Saving Private Ryan when the German guy slowly stabs the American guy in the chest when they run in to each other in a burnt out building..oh Jesus, this makes me want to die inside its extremely disturbing
I went to Mackinac Island and visited the Grand Hotel because of this movie.
after him falling in love with the woman he time traveled back to find, he looks at a modern day penny accidentally left in his pocket. This sends him back to the future forever and they can never be together. So much implied in the one shot.
This is a great entry for a non-horror/thriller flick! By this time, the viewer is so invested in this lovely tale that it truly makes this scene horrifying.
Fyi: The grand witch in her true form, in the movie adaptation of The Witches
I legitimately thought it was a goblin from Harry Potter
Load More Replies...I actually prefer this version over the one with Anne Hathaway. I loved Octavia Spencer, but the CGI just didn't work as well as the practical effects. Sure, the ending of the movie didn't follow the book, but I actually prefer the ending of the original movie.
I loved this movie. The scene where the little girl gets trapped in the painting always gave me the chills, and it was so sad it made me cry... I actually just thought about the scene a few nights ago. I haven't seen the movie with Anne Hathaway yet, maybe I should give it a chance...
One of my favourite childhood movies. My sister and I were fascinated with the Grand High Witch. Not scared though. We were creepy kids to be fair, I was allowed to watch Nightmare on Elm Street and Chucky.
Oh my God, yes. This scene haunted me for many years as a kid. I had recurring nightmares of her face Was definitely too young to watch it!
The audience must be able to relate to characters and empathize with them. The atmosphere must engage the audience and provide an effective platform for fear.
According to the professor, the 2017 film “Get Out,” written and directed by Jordan Peele, is a good example.
For me it's the scene just after this. Once of the best film endings of all time.
I saw this again not too long ago and realised that the Mother who made it back alive with her kids was 'Carol' from the Walking Dead
Load More Replies...I'm gonna be that guy. The original story ending was so much better. Just a dangling diary entry, no closure. Very disturbing. This tacked on schlock shock scene from the movie felt pandering and trite. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to ride off on my high horse.
High horse indeed! LOL! Stephen King preferred the movie's ending to his own book. LOL!
Load More Replies...If watched this movie twice. The second time I stopped the dvd just before this whole scene when he stops the car. I couldn't watch that scene again. Too upsetting.
For some reason thinking of this always makes me laugh, I *know* it’s tragic and all but my brain just goes „LOL IDIOT!”.
This movie was done brilliantly. Stephen King is a genius and a master story craftsman. But yes this scene, just hurts. His son the most. And the actor does this part justice too. I do love him
I just rewatched this the other day, I’d seen it as a kid but as a mother….omg!!!!
Yes! I was stunned by the ending of The Mist. One of those moments that was truly ‘jaw dropping.’
I still think the creepiest scene from the Japanese version of the Grudge is where she lifts the blanket of her bed and the poltergeist is hovering above her. Soooo freaking disturbing. I also freak out when the small poltergeist child eats the cat and then meows in this disturbing high-pitched voice. Nightmares for days.
When you neck is snapped, but not yet dead, and you are trying to breathe through a broken windpipe.
Load More Replies...the actress in the grudge who played this character was also a contortionist and did her own stunt where she comes down the stairs in the house all creepy and disjointed like
I should not be reading this thread at 3am holy c**p that was a big nope!
This was pretty ewwwy but the part that creeped me the most was her in her nightgown saying to the astronaut 'You're going to die' and then peeing herself
took me years to watch the scene of her coming down the stairs all upside down crawling...big nope
That's the most unsettling scene for me too! Maybe because my parents covered my eyes for many of the other scenes.
Load More Replies...I remember seeing this, maybe on tv, when I was little. I think I only saw one scene, and what with it being out of context, not for kids and one of the more disturbing scenes, I think it made a bigger impact on me. It's the scene where they place a cross on her head (or maybe the sash) and she rolls her head to the side and slowly barfs up some thick, snake-like substance.
I knew this would be about somewhere .. omg this film ruined my life 🙄 I was about 12 begged Mt dad to watch it .. loved scary films then .. yes wierdo .. but I never recovered from this film and can't watch it .. it's literally f****n terrified me
My friend and I saw this, at a time when everyone was getting sick. We laughed all the way through this movie. By the end the entire audience was laughing with us. It started with the bed shaking. My friend leaned over and said " get Mom to sit on it, that'll stop it" this was a reference to SpecialK cereal commercials at the time. When she vomited it looked like pea soup. At first other audience members were looking at us when we laughed. But this movie was too camp and too hilarious for us to care. Probably the only showing where the entire audience ended up finding it funny. We were 17.
“The film intelligently mixes its various horror conventions, including stalk-and-slash scares, fears about secret cults and medical horror, with both comedy and social satire to make a point about troubled race relations in our ‘post-racial’ nation,” Kendrick explained.
"The protagonist is an African-American who finds himself increasingly concerned about the intentions of all the white people around him. In effect, polite, wealthy white society becomes the film’s raging monster."
ugh! I'd forgotten this one... now will have a nightmare tonight...
I've only watched this movie once, and that was a loooooong time ago. Never again.
I've never seen this movie though I've heard a lot about it. I know References and pictures and stuff. But never actually watched the movie.
Nope. I had nightmares of this movie as a child. That sound he made when he screamed. Still can't watch it as an adult. Please don't down vote me for this. Just relaying an experience I had as a small kid that to me was very traumatic.
I can't watch it either, ET himself freaked me out SO BAD as a child.
Load More Replies...Saw this movie numerous times. My late hubby and I would watch it on the TV reruns and I'd start sobbing. I tried to pretend I wasn't, but he'd hear me and say "OMG....are you crying again? You KNOW he's going to be OK." I just couldn't help it. Tore my heart out.
I had nightmares for years... In thought i was the only one. E.T really f*** me up. I was scared of aliens my entire childhood.. still haven't watched it. Everytime someone was talking about it i would get anxiety. That scene in paticular
My parents turned the tv off when e.t. Was lying half dead in the river. When I was 23 i finally discovered that e. T. Is not a movie about a. Cute alien and a nice family and then the alien lies dead in a river...
Freaked me out completely - I was 21 at the time and had real trouble sleeping for a few weeks after watching this .... watched it about 10 years ago when I was in my mid 50's and it was still quite disturbing but looking at it with a different perspective I quite enjoyed it as a classic film.
In the same way that characters and settings have developed throughout history, so has the monster. Kendrick pointed out that a great monster will capitalize on the existing fears of society and use these for a greater scare factor.
"The monsters are more often than not simply an extension or elaboration of what we fear due to our mortal condition. At the heart of horror is always the fear of death – physical or spiritual."
Yes. The death of Alex Kintner. In the book, he's only five, but Spielberg thought that would be too much. Still a disturbing scene.
Load More Replies...I still remember the scene where someone’s leg sinking to the bottom on the sea. It’s still giving me goosebumps….😓
That was Chrissy's leg from the opening scene. This shot is of Alex Kitner being attacked.
Load More Replies...SAME!!!!! I tried one time and said nope. Literally because of this movie!!!!
Load More Replies...My mum and much older sister went to see Jaws when it was released. The scene where the head of the dead fisherman appears they were suddenly showered with Maltesers from the row of seats behind them.
That...scene made me holler out loud in the theatre. My Dad gave me a look as if to say "really?"
Load More Replies...YES YES YES!. EVERYONE points out the freaky twins. i thought this one was much more disturbing.
In the book the furry guy is even creepier. He's pacing the halls on all fours in his outfit and telling Danny he's going to eat him up in some pretty disturbing and lewd ways.
Agreed, this was the first Stephen Book that legit scared the sh!t out of me.
Load More Replies...You should read the book...yikes. Danny actually walks by the room, looks in and one dude was uh giving the other dude oral plessure, its extremely scary and disturbing. Its awesome lol
Same here. It is not scary but it has you thinking about what is going on here.
Isn't this return to Oz? If so yep made me feel freaked and I was watching it with my daughter who was younger then.
The Wheelers...you rented this movie thinking, "oh, it's like a spinoff to the Wizard of Oz where she goes back" Um, no, it is a terrifying spinoff that will freak you out for years to come!
Absolutely terrifying film for kids, which is why Disney distanced themselves from it. With electromagnetic therapy, near drowning, the wheelers, a Princess who picks what decapitated head she wants to wear today, the Deadly Desert and the Goblin King - it was horrifying. Which is why it's one of my favourites. Bloody brilliant film!!
I've never watched the movies but I've read the books and the pictures are just as weird
Load More Replies...I liked it a lot too, watched it many times when I was a kid. 😀
Load More Replies...My sister freaked out at Mombi when we saw this in the cinema. She was very little.
The bit where headless Mombi is chasing her with all the heads screaming and the original shouting, 'DOROTHY GAAAAAALE!!!!' was pretty creepy!
Load More Replies...Fear is so effective because it is able to play with human empathy, Kendrick said. By using current trends, directors and producers are able to generate characters and settings that their audience can relate to.
"The best films, the ones that really stand out in our memory, are the ones that we connect with emotionally through characters and that we sense have a deeper purpose than just causing anxiety," Kendrick said.
Personally, I didn’t think think movie was too bad. I think the first one creeped me out a bit more.
I've watched all the Conjuring franchise movies, but none will disturb me as much as the first one. Nothing freaks me out as the bizarre thing such as when the witch is on the rocking chair with the doll, or not even a scene, but when the lady says the witch is like on the dad's back or something like that, but like it didn't matter if they moved to another house because she was attached to him (maybe that was the second movie).
My FAVOURITE “Nun” related thing is the practical joke they played on some fans where the “Nun” turned up… it’s the bloke who clocked the Nun with his water bottle in surprise that’s perfect!
Or the one where they drag a wounded soldier..only to realise they're dragging just the upper part of the body. The first 20 minutes are just carnage
No, it's actually a horror of war, so it's totally appropriate to be disturbed by this. It's war, body horror and psychological horror all at once.
When I went to see "Saving Private Ryan" in the theater, an older man walked out during the first scene with the storming of the beach. I assumed it was giving flashbacks and he was there.
That whole scene. The ramp went down on the beach and all those men dying without a chance to even hit the sand. Made me sick because it is history and not some made up monster.
My grandpa fought at Normandy. Although I have no desire to see this movie again, I was glad I watched it once. It gave me a sense of what he went through and why he never wanted to talk about the war or what he saw later on.
It wasn't dead center on screen, that added so much to the horror. Almost "just a guy" as the actor wandered through. Such a human jolt while you're riveted watching all the carnage
Was in Ireland when this was filmed. We went to the beach but of course the set was fenced off, but you could see the battleships in the distance - and some explosions. Once a jeep drove by with that severed prop arm attached to it's roll bar. It looked like the bloody arm was waving at me. It was....surreal.
The shot which haunted me from this movie was the soldier clutching his intestines.
Is this Saving Private Ryan??? Sorry I haven't really watched that many films but this seems familiar.
Yes, Saving Private Ryan. At the beginning of the movie, the storming of the beaches. The man has his arm shot off and is looking for it - he finds it and picks it up. All the while bullets are flying around. An extremely unsettling scene.
Load More Replies...Someone showed me this to distract me from a break up years ago. Suffice to say, that night i went to bed horrified for completely new reasons!
But oviously you were distracted from the break-up.
Load More Replies...Ah! That's where "one of us" is from!!!!!! Been trying to remember that for years!!!
Never saw Freaks, but the Chicken Lady in Kids in the Hall (older version) repulsed me.
There were more than a few horrifying moments in the rebooted Twin Peaks a few short years ago. I am way old and I was so terrified by some of the scenes I slept with every light in the house on.
I love this movie and have watched it many times and still this scene freaks me out like no other
Consider the 2014 film 'The Babadook.'
"‘It is grounded in real, recognizable human emotions, which makes it as dramatically compelling as it is scary," Kendrick said. "The film is not so much about a shadowy supernatural figure lurking in the corner as it is about very real parental fears about inadequacy and conflicted love."
Loved this as a kid because I was in a phase of reading every Greek mythology book I could get my hands on.
Damn! Me too!! I saw that movie when I was so young (maybe 5 or 6 I don’t really remember… I even think that I wasn’t actually supposed to be watching but I know I saw this scene!) and still to this day, I have always felt very uncomfortable by animatronics. I never really understood why. Maybe you helped me finding out! Thanx!!
The one with Harry Hamlin. Silly movie, but I loved Harry and this segment is etched in my mind forever.
Yeah, if it's the original, this along with Jason and the Argonauts were stop motion. Either way, Medusa was damn scary....
I could't scroll fast enough when her face appeared in this thread. It's a NOPE for me.
We have a family friend who was in the Vietnam War and probably has seen some terrible things. He says that he cannot watch the Japanese version of the Grudge because the imagery and sound effects are so incredibly disturbing.
When my aunt and uncle saw this at the theater when it first came out, this scene popped up, and my normally unruffled uncle stood up in the theater and shouted, "GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY!" We teased him about it for years.
When Hooper dives into the water to get a look at the boat, I always look away - and despite not having the visuals anymore, I still jump every single time because of the music! Ugh!
This scared my sister so much when she was little. Never watched the movie ever again.
lol! I went to see this in the theater when the movie first came out and this made me jump so bad! I was scrolling on here thinking about this scene and thought If I could find that picture I would post it. Thanks!
that makes me question every time i watch it, so say you have a bit of skin you peel it off are you really going to carry on and oops my face is in the sink lol
My moments as a child was the F*ing psychograbbing Tree, The Clowndoll ( I still don't like clowns AND/OR clownlooking dolls today, as an adult) and the Maggots in the meat crawling over the counter. The unbuild poolsceene is more haunting for me at this point. The sceletons was real. The "mom" appearently swimmed around dead people, not props. Was cheaper at that point in time.
This scene scared the c**p out of me as a 14 year old. Had to sleep with the landing light on for a while. Seen now, it doesn't look realistic at all, but at the time, ugh.
Omg! Me too! At the time the special FX were awesome. I can actually watch it now because I look at it with respect for the effects. I also immersed myself in all the grossest horror movies I could find to desensitize myself and not be afraid. Still can't watch The Exorcist though.
Load More Replies...This and the guy eating the pork chop...ugh. This movie actually was one of the ones that got to me when I was younger.
This is the one scene in the entire movie I still can't watch to this day.
Also, despite the few successes in recent years, Kendrick believes today’s horror films are often dull and one-dimensional, relying on an increasingly tired set of visual and audio clichés.
According to him, they lack connection to the characters, the circumstances in which those characters find themselves, and any sense of social or cultural meaning.
An awesome movie. I saw it as a teenager on PBS, I think when classic films were finally shown on tv.
Got really confused for a moment because I read that as Battleship Pokémon
Unless you're Beetlejuice. He says it keeps getting funnier ever time he sees it!
Load More Replies...This was actually a makeup test shot that wasn't going to be in the film but they decided to flash it a couple of times to play it like subliminal messaging for The Exorcist.
Watched this age 10. Scared the bejeezuz out of me. watched as an adult. Actually quite funny.
same, you could see everything was animated clay :)
Load More Replies..."If you don’t care for or identify with the characters whose mortality is at stake, it is just a hollow exercise in style," Kendrick said.
"We all fear death and are aware of our human mortality, and the best horror films engage that fear in complex and challenging and – yes – artful ways."
I just bought the Criterion release of this on Blu Ray. I love this movie. The original cut, not the 30th Anniversary Edition where they went back and added new scenes and a new musical score. Romero had nothing to do with it and hated it.
Funny how this was/is a horror classic and then....Return of the Living Dead happened. Good movie in its own right, but def not "horror". Night is STILL a great watch. "There gonna get you Barbara!"
As a nurse that works night shifts this still plays through my head in the quiet hours of the morning as I'm going on break
The Exorcist 2 was so horrible and awful. I was surprised at how good the Exorcist III was.
It helped that 3, unlike 2 was actually based on a book and the book was adapted to screen by, and the film directed by, the author. Part 2 is what you get when hack Hollywood writers are told to "come up with something."
Load More Replies...heck yeah brad dourif never disappoints! especially loved him in graveyard shift as the crazy exterminator lol
Load More Replies...OMG YES!!!! I freaked out the first time I saw this scene. Now when I watch it, I rewind this part of the movie over and over,
Oh this scared me so much. The timing of it is just so brilliantly done.
At that point, I was so fed up I wanted to yell, "Die, die already!!". Yeah, like Elaine Benes.
If I were Sting, I'd have this done up as one of those hoity-toity ancestral portraits for over my fireplace or my grand dining hall.
LMAO nothing by comedy here! I can see how to a child it could be a bit disturbing though, but the whole movie is nonsense comedy.
I found it disturbing as an adult. The brains outside the skulls... eugh.
Don’t Look Now? I have got to watch this movie again. Thirty years since I have seen it. Maybe.
Don't Look Back is a documentary about Bob Dylan.

Isn't it the Conjuring? I vaguely remember a ball rolling downstairs and a child in a red coat that turned out to be this ... I've seen so many horror films in my youth they tend to blend into one :P
Nope, it's definitely Don't look now, fab film, Daphne duMaurier book
Load More Replies...I'm pretty sure that is from 1982s Creepshow and that particular story is "The Crate".
Load More Replies...The scenes from the 80s version of the Blob are HORRIFYING. 100% practical effects makes it seem so much more *real* than anything with CGI can do now.
This movie has some spectacular practical effects! It is still a favorite of mine after all these years. It still creeps me out a bit LOL.
I still haven’t finished that film, it was stressing me out so much that I had to stop watching (even though I liked it).
Watched this when I was a kid. Have been afraid of dummies ever since. Anthony Hopkins is brilliant in it though.
I was already terrified of dummies because i watched goosebumps when i was like 5-6
