First ones that come to mind:

Spoiler for Under the Skin:
The "second victim" scene. Never seen anything quite like this, it's imagery that just sticks with you. Everything is so minimalist about the scene, but it's crafted perfectly. The setting is bizarre/alien enough, but the score is really what makes the scene. Then after he descends, you just really feel a sense of dread for the guy watching what he knows will soon happen to him. THE most effective jump scare I've ever seen when he "pops". The wrinkles on the skin, the tears in the sheet-like body afterwards, just such an amazing scene visually.


Spoiler for Hereditary":
Charlie's "Accident" scene. Even people who don't like the movie were impacted by this scene. Saw this movie in a theater a couple times, and was really curious to see the audience reaction the 2nd time I saw it. There was a group of late-teens/early 20s kids behind me that were talking/laughing for the first part of the movie (nothing obnoxious, just audible). When that scene happened, you could hear a pin drop and then one of them kind of shockingly said "WTF just happened???"

I think it's just a really well-executed scene. You think she's going to be the focal point of the movie, so you don't really believe what happened the entire time the camera is focused on the son. And then when you hear Toni Collette absolutely nail it with that scream/sobbing on the ground, you learn along with the character what happened. The head just kind of brings it home.


Spoiler for The Witch:
Meeting Black Philip scene. I just love how understated this is, while still giving you enough that is befitting of a climactic scene. Reminds me a lot of the type of horror you'd see in Rosemary's Baby. The whisper is something that could come across as hokey, but for some reason it doesn't. I love that you don't get a good glimpse, but rather just see him lurking in the shadows, and get cool little glimpses of the goat's hoof turning into a man's foot. There's also something that is incredibly unsettling about how he puts his hands on her when she removes her shift.

I wouldn't call it a best horror scene or anything, it's a completely cliche sequel teaser scene, I just wanted to share my thoughts on it.

The end of Freddy Vs. Jason where Jason comes out of the water carrying Freddy's head and Freddy looks at the camera and winks. I think most people interpret that as a continued battle but to me it felt more like Freddy got exactly what he wanted. He only brought Jason back to spread fear in Elm Street. He then got mad because Jason was killing all of his victims. They end up taking Jason back home so Freddy's territory is no longer being intruded on. I know it's just a dumb slasher flick that I'm reading too much into.

Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.

That and the F13 reboot were actually way more fun than they had any right to be

And let's be real, Freddy has been subjected to way worse ****

Both characters have. And while that film definitely had it's bad moments the final fight scene was absolutely great.

I think the approach to this movie came from an understanding that both characters became more like comic book villains rather than anything truly scary.

There's a pretty gruesome scene in the first half of the new Suspiria movie that immediately jumped onto my list.
