Can't find it yet, but the scene in Jaws when the leg floats to the bottom of the sea.
Scared the beejesus outta me!

[GalwayBayBoy]

I remember one Halloween being terrified by watching The Fog.

[Square Ball]

The Exorcist, watched it in the old St Galls hall, the only way to get there was up the side of the Miltown cemetry, bad enought going into it, but on the way home bastards were jumping out from everywhere, cloth touching moments indeed.

Definitely "IT", I was terrified of clowns and balloons for years after!

[Canalman]

2 scenes come to mind:

1 The scene from Salems Lot where a vampire  floats up to his brother's bedroom.

2 The scene where Jaws jumps up at the boat while Chief Brody is throwing out entrails as a lure.

It has to be The Witches, the film based on Roald Dahl's legendary book. I remember being so terrified when the witches removed their masks during the witches conference. Even to this day that scene spooks me.

The original Frankenstein movies with Boris Karloff

The Birds !

[Shamrock Shore]

'The Birds' freckened the jesus outa me as well.

There was another couple I remember - the old Hammer ones that ust be on late on a Sat.

One was 'The Hand' where a gifted pianist's hand got severered in an accident and then came back to life.

Also one where a fella was buired alive. Its name escapes me.

All innocent stuff I spose but I am of an age where I never did see the main Slasher movies (and I am not referring to the glory days of Longford town's GAA club)

Another vote for "The Birds" !
I will never forget watching it when my folks were gone out and my older brother was dictating what was to be watched .... hiding behind the couch scared witless after a scene where someone in a phonebox got attacked

[The Corporal]

Have to agree "IT"........ talk about scaring the bajesus outta ya!!! Clowns are still a no-go area!!

What about the 1st Alien film when the thing comes out of yer mans chest??
