Ira Gaines Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 This seems like a good idea. Think it's a good spinoff from the frightening horrors. What are your favourite jump scares? The Exorcist III - STATUE! Mental stuff. The jig of the camera before it catches you as well. Adds that touch of tension before delivering the bomb. Magnificent. Jaws - Head in the boat. Paranormal Activity 2 - The kitchen. Any others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Skidmarks Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Sloth in Se7en, when everyone thinks he's dead and he just pops up coughing. I know its a bollocks film, but the scene when he checks the larder in Signs for the alien and it sticks its hand out, made me jump like f**k first time i watched it.

Nick_BCFC Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Is it Law Abiding Citizen when the woman answers the phone and it blows up? My mate actually did a girl scream when that happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did see it coming, but it makes for a nasty scare nonetheless, The sound work is excellent in that film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 That scene in what lies beneath that starts Michelle Pfieffer and Harrison Ford. Watched it when i was about 12 and have never got such a fright ever in my life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jock001 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Normally you know beforehand that they're clearly about to try and do something scary. Due to this, the thing which made me jump more than anything else in film hsitory is utterly embarrassing. It actually made me jump from one cinema seat into the one next to me (luckily empty). THX sound systems need their own public health warnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdriefan100 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 The mannequin scene in Insidious made me jump like a gazelle, along with the bit when the demon pops up behind the dad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Other Foot Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 So....what's happening in that lawnmower clip? My internet is awful, and the buffering doesn't really do it justice.....someone's face is being run over with a lawnmower, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 Something like that, aye. Absolutely brilliant example of a jump scare actually. I wasn't sure what they were gonna throw in there, but I KNEW something was coming. Cracking one nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gads that was a great/awful movie. The bit in The Cabin In The Woods where the lassie is going to kiss the Wolf's head or whatever is a great example of someone setting up a jump scare but then not going for it which made the suspense incredible.
