Janet Lee's encounter with Anthiny Perkins?
But my choice would be the bath scene from "Les Diaboliques"

Brian! Well, it would, wouldn't it? 
Norman Bates kebabbing Janet Leigh, then skewering the detective on the stairs in the olde house. Mind you, that skree-skree-skree music added a lot to it!
When the cute baby alien bursts out of the bloke's stomach. "Look, if you were an intelligent species, you'd use the usual method, so you could impregnate Ridley over and over."
Jagged Edge - the opening scenes are very creepy in a realistic way. Glenn Close finding the culprit typewriter later, and trying to get away from Jeff Bridges was also hair-raising.
The presentation of the head-in-a-box at the end of Se7en. I really didn't have this figured until Morgan Freeman looked meaningfully at it, then it was
Scream, the original and first time round, is still truly nasty! Most 'bogeyman' films give you a good startling, though for the repeats, if you put the sound off and you all provide your own dialogue, you can have a bit of fun with them.

If you're talking crapped in pants then it would have to be Stephen King's Salem's Lot

Or, on a different tack, for all the males on here, remember this from "Deliverance"?
Mountain Man: Now, let's you just drop them pants.
Bobby: Drop?
Mountain Man: Just take 'em right off.
Bobby: I-I mean, what's this all about?
Toothless Man: Don't say anything, just do it.
Mountain Man: Just drop 'em, boy. (To Ed - at knifepoint) You ever had your balls cut off, you fuckin' ape? Looky there, that's sharp. Bet it would shave a hair.
Toothless Man: Why don't you try it and see? (To Bobby) Take off that little ol' bitty shirt there, too. (To Mountain Man) Did he bleed?
Mountain Man: He bled. (To Bobby) Them panties. Take 'em off. (After attacking him) Hey boy, you look just like a hog....(Holding Bobby's nose as he straddles him from behind) Come on piggy, give me a ride...Looks like we got us a sow here, instead of a boar....I bet you can squeal like a pig.
Bobby: Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Toothless Man (with a bare-gummed sneer on his face) prepares to order Ed to perform fellatio upon him at gunpoint: "He's got a real purty mouth, ain't he?"

What was adjudged the scariest?
:lol:
I'm not sure I thought even 80 of the clips tonight were 'scary'! Gruesome, gory, stomach-turning, but not scary. I actually think old Dollarhyde working over nice people in 'Manhunter', also running tonight, especially the ghastly torching of the bound journo - that scene of him being sent hurtling down the car park exit is really horrific - were far more 'scary' than many of those shown. In fact, yes, I'm sorry to say, a heck of a lot of them actually now look very funny. It's hard to be innovative, I realize, but I was kinda ticking the boxes in 'The Blair Witch Project' -
creepy old legend/check
inaccessible location/check
innocents in peril/check
weird occult signs/check
unseen cause of terror/check
things that go bump in the night/check
getting lost/check
getting bumped off one at a time/check
crazed camerawork/check
going mad/check... did I miss anything? :brows:
