The Most Terrifying Horror Movie Scenes Of All Time
By SlashFilm Staff
The Babadook
Incredibly scary, "The Babadook" is really good at appearing without warning
In its scariest scene, masterfully built with dread, it lunges at Amelia from the shadows.
Insidious
As Lorraine (Barbara Hershey) describes a dream about a red-faced devil-demon and stresses the nightmare's implications, it appears behind Josh and hiss-scowls at her.
Jacob's Ladder
The entire film is a grisly assault on the senses, but Jacob's (Tim Robbins) journey through a hospital is unforgettable as everything in it turns into hellish gore.
Lake Mungo
After a teen girl drowns in "Lake Mungo," her family find her buried cell phone, and the grainy, disturbing footage on it haunts millennials to this day.
Poltergeist
The "Poltergeist" clown scene even scarred horror directors. When Robbie’s creepy doll is missing, he checks under the bed, but it’s next to him when he sits back up.
