Today’s scene that I love comes from one of the best horror films of the past ten years, 2012’s Cabin In The Woods. The party starts just a little bit early….

Horror Scenes I Love: Nina Confronts Lily in Black Swan
This scene is from Black Swan, which I reviewed during my first year with the Shattered Lens. For many, many reasons, this is a film that means much to me.
Nina confronts Lily …. or does she? Those of you have seen the film know.
Horror Scenes that I Love: Rabbits From Inland Empire
Today’s scene is from David Lynch’s Inland Empire.
I’m not even going to try to explain what’s going on here.
Horror Scenes I Love: The Church Scene from 28 Days Later
In a film full of disturbing and frightening moments, this is the one that always gets to me. I think it’s a combination of how apologetic the clueless Jim is and also just the way those heads pop up when he says, “Hello?”
From Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later:
Horror Scenes That I Love: The Diner Scene From Mulholland Drive
From 2001’s Mulholland Drive, here is a scene that literally made me jump the first time I saw it. Personally, I think this is the scariest moment that David Lynch ever directed.
Horror Scenes That I Love: The Party Scene From The Rage: Carrie 2
While it’s certainly not as good as the original, I still think 1998’s The Rage: Carrie 2 is underrated.
In this scene, a bunch of dumbass jocks discover that they’ve bullied the wrong girl. Because I occasionally wear glasses, this scene freaks me out.
Horror Scenes I Love: Gnahgi and the Head from Dellamorte Dellamore
This scene is from the 1994 Italian film, Dellamorte Dellamore. Gnaghi is upset that a girl upon whom he had a crush has been killed in a terrible bus accident. But then Gnaghi remembers that the dead come to life when they are buried in the town’s cemetery.
Horror Scenes that I Love: Pennywise Visits The Library In It
Admittedly, this scene from the 1990 version of It is a bit more goofy than scary but still, I love Tim Curry’s performance as Pennywise the Clown. When the first part of the latest version of It came out, it was kind of fashionable to dismiss the 1990 version. But then the second movie came out and everyone was like, “We waited a year for this!? Give us back our Tim Curry!”
Anyway, in this scene, Pennywise shows at the Derry Public Library and offers Richie (Harry Anderson) some balloons.
Horror Scenes I Love: The Cenobites Make Their First Appearance In The Original Hellraiser
AGCK!
This is from the original 1987 Hellraiser. The Cenobites were probably never scarier than they were in their very first appearance. Perhaps the most interesting thing about them is that, rather than being stereotypically good or evil, they’re actually neutral. They’re doing their job and, if you don’t want to see them, don’t mess around with the puzzle box. Doug Bradley was brilliant in the role of the head Cenobite (who, of course, would later be known as Pinhead).
Horror Scenes That I Love: Sally’s Birthday Party from Demons 2
In this scene from 1986’s Demons 2, Sally’s birthday party goes terribly wrong after Sally gets transformed into one of the demons!
