There are those spooky movie moments that stick with us. Maybe it was because Phantasm was the first R movie you were allowed to see.  Or maybe Freddy tapped into a real fear you have when Joey just wanted a nice night’s sleep.  It could be that perfect crescendo of shrill music during that shower scene, your fear of clowns, or that creepy doll. Or perhaps you were just really in your feelings when you watched Verotica.

We very unofficially polled our community on Facebook, along with a bunch of coworkers on a Slack video call, and here’s what we came up with as the scariest moments ever in horror history. Agree? Disagree? Slide into this Facebook comment section and let us know.

1) The Exorcist head spin

When you are expecting twelve-year-old Linda Blair to be snuggling up into bed and you see this, it has a tendency to stick with you.

Let’s be honest, anything with Pennywise is horrifying. But whether IT is 1986,  1990, or 2017, this one takes the cake.

Sure, you’ve got your “Here’s Johnny” scene. But in this scene from the ’97 mini-series, you’re dealing with classic expectation vs. outcome.
