Horror movie moments in non horror tv or films.

Zodiac had many moments including the highway scene and the basement one.
I recently heard a podcast that highlighted this movie and had no idea it was initially rated NC-17 because of a lot of graphic and gory scenes that were later cut out. That makes me think it was supposed to be a horror film rather than the action/cop movie that it became.

yep yep yep so many childhood nightmares
The plot twist responsible for scarring countless children (if the cartoon shoe melting scene hadn't already). Christopher Lloyd's performance strikes that perfect balance where he's wacky and over-the-top like you'd expect from a cartoon, but instead of being funny, it's unsettling and even kinda intimidating. I think it's because only the eyes and hands are visibly "toony" so it lands well into Uncanny Valley territory: genius move to only show those parts of his true form. The fact it's such a 180 from how he acts throughout the rest of the film only makes this moment creepier.
Satan carrying a demonic baby (presumably the Antichrist) in "The Passion of the Christ"
When I was a kid, I distinctly remember a copy of Spider-Man playing in a Circuit City being the first time where a jump scare was pleasant. Prior to that, I absolutely hated them, but ever since that moment I've just thought of them as lazy rather than scary. Either way, that was a pretty good one, because I jumped pretty hard. Thinking "it's just Spider-Man" is what tricked me...
wait really? i don't remember that scene at all lmao. granted i was like 10 the last time i watched that movie lol
Pretty much my votes.
The Gmork had an everlasting effect on me. I used to be scared to go downstairs to the kitchen at night in case that brute was down there waiting in the dark with those vivid green eyes.
It was so bad I was watching a video my dad got out the store and the trailer for the Neverending story 2 came on, I got up and left the room.
Oh, and it came up a few times in it's own thread, but HBO's Chernobyl had scenes that would fit right into a horror, made all the more terrible since they're based on actual events.
Neil Gaiman
It was my literary agent, Merrilee Heifetz who read it and said "you can't seriously expect this to be published as a children's book." So I suggested she read it to her daughters. And she called me...

That's pretty cool. Is this one of those movies where an old guy poses as a baby to avoid someone?
These films are old but jump scares play with the moment, so I'm hiding them in spoilers:

Also Personal Shopper's texting scene.
Parasite - Kid seeing the ghost scene
Parasite ghost scene where the Da song kid eating the cake sees Geun se creepily peeping out of the basement entrance.

Also Personal Shopper's texting scene.
Is it too much to ask to include what films/shows these scenes are from, and not assume we all know what they are with no clue whatsoever?
that's from Mel Gibson's torture porn film The Passion of the Christ
There were more '80s action star meets slasher movies like Charles Bronson in 10 To Midnight and Chuck Norris in Silent Rage.
god i love that they use the fucking starship troopers outfits.
and honestly this shit infuriates me lmao.
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Speaking of Indiana Jones, it's full of horror moments:
Thanks.
Totally don't remember that shot. Guess that's a sign I should rewatch it :)
This scene in V starting at around 2:10. Couldn't sleep alone for several days. Actually this series had some really fucked up scenes.
Superman 3
I never seen the movie but I thought Superman 3 was supposed to be a comedy or something like that. What kind of screwed up robotic demonic transformation had to appear in a Superman movie? Who was she in regards of this movie?
Just like it's not hard to not be a snarky arse, but I digress.
Other movies/shows
The Nutty Professor (first transformation scene)
The Page Master (bike ride/library scene)
Eerie Indiana
Strange Days at Blake Holsey High
The sister of the main villain, who was a Lex Luthor analogue because Gene Hackman didn't come back. It would be Lena Luthor today.
Same. I didn't know about it at all and a friend asked me if I was in the mood for a Western (he didn't know either)
We smoked a lot of weed expecting some fun duels and shootouts but boy were we wrong.
Ghostbusters 2 may be a shaky comedy, but fuck me if it didn't have some moments that are formatively stuck in my brain since childhood. From the original movie that really didn't take its supernatural shit seriously 95% of the time, there's more stuff here that sticks with you.

Good one. That scene with cartoon shoe scarred me. My childhood mind couldn't comprehend how something so innocent could be nonchalantly executed.

especially when you find out how they are madeNomu from MHA:
Thankfully I've forgotten the exact scene but renting Howard the Duck as a young kid fucked me up for a bit.
Gotta add the subway scene, which was STRAIGHT UP from a horror movie!Ghostbusters 2 may be a shaky comedy, but fuck me if it didn't have some moments that are formatively stuck in my brain since childhood.

I remember this.
The last act of Howard the Duck was pure nightmare fuel for kids. Dr. Jennings fucked me up as a 5 year old more than any horror villain at the time did. Who knew that the actor would end up being a villain in real life?
