Was a film i saw as a kid, one scene had a werewolf rip a guy apart down the middle, one of the most gruesome effects i've seen in any film, however i daren't watch this film now in case it ruins the memory, whats your most memorable film scene?
The shower scene of "Psycho", after decades it still scares the hell out of me.
The opening sequence of Fellini's "Eight and a Half", it was my first clue that film could be more than straight forward a-b-c story-telling.
The first few minutes of "Saving Private Ryan"; you are in that boat.
At the end of Casablanca, Bogey at the airport, everything a man could want to be.
About a dozen scenes each from "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"; "Young Frankenstein"; and "Blazing Saddles".
Gene Kelly "I'm Singing in the Rain" and Donald O'Connor "Make 'Em Laugh".
You go to a horror film and you are prepared to be scared
and accept what they throw at you.
But when you least expect it...like during the adverts of a soap.
Mid 60's.
A 2 minute public information film shown on TV about the dangers fo a house fire.
It was in B/W
You see the burnt out shell of a house, no sound.
The camera slowly enters the house and you get taken
around each room. The damaged living room, the kitchen.
There is no sound at all, everything is still slightly smoking.
Then the camera takes you upstairs, everything is scorched black.
You see the bathroom, the parents bedroom.
The camera enters the childs room and suddeny your hear this
loud awful scream of a terrified child as the camra quickly zooms
onto a smouldering cot.
The shock of this sudden loud scream and the camera suddenly
zoomingin on the cot was given people near heart attacks.
I've never jumped in my seat at the pictures.
That night I jumped. My Mum was shaking.
God knows what it must have to people to had actually lost
a child in a fire.
Complaints filed in. We turned it off the minute it came on
as did many other people. Everyone was talking about it
They pulled it after about two weeks never to show it again.
Mid 90's
Some lad was doing a documentry about public information films
on the telly. This one was mentioned, they showed a still of the
opening scene. nothing more.

The UK mid/late 60's.
I have just been surfing the net.
Seems others remeber it too as being very scary.
I bet there is a clip on the net somewhere.
Also the one with Donald Pleasance who was trying to drown
childrn who played too close to river bank is getting mentioned.
As I said, you were getting these inbetween 'normal' programmes
and not expecting anything.
here is the Donald Pleasance one + others from the 70's.
"Play Misty For Me." Directed by and starring Clint Eastwood.
This was his first try at directing and his presentation style was a masterpiece in my opinion. It definitely had me on the edge of the seat, especially when you consider that you may meet someone just like the villain in your everyday life. It wasn't really a horror movie, but it was overloaded with suspense. It's kind of old and outdated now, but still worth watching if you need to get the crap scarred out of you.
