This scared the SH#T outta me as a kid.

Oompah loompah song and dances.

not sure how I was able to watch this, or where I got a hold of this, but me and some neighborhood kids watched this...yikes

Pulp fiction's the gimp. Deeply disturbed as Bruce Willis was my action hero and I couldn't see him the same way in other movies had the gimp gotten him too...

Has anyone mentioned "the" scene in The Crying Game?

I've got a pretty good stomach for freaky stuff these days. Generally, I've seen a lot worse in real life. I don't often watch the torture porn type of films because they are over the top pointless. I don't get any entertainment out of watching movies like Hostel where the point of the plot is to provide a gross anatomy lesson with screaming. So while I could point to scenes from kinds of horror films that are disturbing, it's not the actual scene that disturbs me, but rather that some hack thought up that scene sans any meaningful plot or character development

Fun fact: the director of Hostel is none other than the Bear Jew, Eli Roth......

Lots of other good entries here, and I'll add a little bit of a curveball:

Growing up as a kid in the 90's the music from Unsolved Mysteries seriously freaked me out. To the point if I heard it I would basically have a mild panic attack.

The ritual slaughter of the water buffalo by the followers of Kurtz in Apocalypse Now.

Seeing a movie involving war, I expected to see Hollywood "death." I didn't expect to see an animal really hacked to death with a machete.

Eli Roth wrote a lot of Hostel while he was working as an intern on Howard Stern's Private Parts. His job was to sit outside Howard's trailer overnight when Stern slept there.

Saving Private Ryan slow whisper stab scene.

I don't like the movie because of that scene. The only time where a single scene has totally killed a movie for me.

---

Didn't kill the movie for me, but yeah, that scene bothered the hell out of me.

For whatever reason, Carol Channing absolutely terrified me in that movie when I was a kid.

I.T.
The scene when Pennywise comes up through the shower drain made me learn to shower with my eyes open.

Ghost in the Darkness
I was about 5 when I first saw that and it was the first horror-esque movie I'd ever seen. There was a scene where (if I remember right) Val Kilmer has a dream of a woman and her baby being eaten by a lion with bone crakling sound. My first "wait... the ****?!" moment.

I.T. The Info Terrestrial

Several parts of the movie Funny Games freaked me out.

Trash-lady's second appearance was the scariest part in that movie by a longshot.

Oddly enough two ship sinking flicks:

When the ship is going down in "The Perfect Storm" and John C Reilly says, "this is going to hard on my little boy"

When the Irish mom is tucking her kids into bed on the Titanic as is sinking.

Others:
Kid getting attacked in Jaws
Almost all of the Exorcist (I think 10 is too young to see that stuff)

Uggh, you made me think of Open Water. Didn't like the whole movie, but especially when they realize they are screwed.

Kid getting attacked in Jaws

ballsy scene though. wouldn't see that in a movie these days probably.

The leeches scene in Stand By Me.

Horrifying.

Was on an airplane a few years ago and the guy across the aisle a couple rows up was watching, "I Spit on Your Grave" It was so awful, i went up and asked him to turn off his DVD player because the subject matter was so terrible. At first he said he had the right to watch and I agreed but told him everyone else could see his screen so he turned it off. Sick F@#@

This pisses me off so much when someone is doing this, especially when I'm flying with my kids.

water moccasins in Lonesome Dove (think i was 8 yrs old or so when it came out)

Melting guy in the original Robocop and just about the entire Tusk movie.

Pretty much the entire movie of John Carpenter's The Thing. It's my favorite horror movie of all time, but it's basically ****ed me up for life. The scene with the dogs I particularly dislike.

The worst rape scene for me is the first I ever saw... the chick getting spraypainted in "Death Wish".

I was only about 14 and that stuck with me.

Probably the most skeeved I've ever gotten was when I was home from college on Halloween night. My parents and younger sister had some party they were going to, and I just stayed home to eat pizza and hang out and do laundry. I was watching the old Vincent Price movie "The Pit and the Pendulum" from 1960-something. Every light in the house was off, and when it got to the part where the chick was haunting him and chanting "Niiiiiiiicholaaaaas" throughout the castle I just about came out of my skin.

I got up, a big strapping 19 year old boy and turned on every light in the house.

LOL

The guy getting shot through the mouth near the beginning of Munich.

I hate clowns to this day because of Poltergeist. Burn them with fire.

Mys sister and I used to creep each other out saying "the head, from Jaws, with curly hair and poked out eyeballs". Every time that part would come we'd hide behind the couch.
