THE 100 SCARIEST MOVIE SCENES OF ALL TIME - VERSION 2.0

One day back in 2003, I met with Sacramento horror film gurus and co-creators of the annual Trash Film Orgy festival Darin Wood and Christy Savage, to come up with the scariest movie scenes of all time. We came up with a lot of great scenes and whittled it down to 100 along with the help of over 1,000 suggestions from loyal retroCRUSH readers. In the years that followed, it became one of the most popular features we ever had on the site. It even arguably inspired a 100 Scariest Movie Moments special that aired on Bravo in 2004. I enjoyed the chance to see the scenes collected, but was disappointed that they mostly talked about how scary the whole films were, and spent little time on the actual scene.

I've continued to receive a ton of email from readers with new suggestions for the list. I always felt that the list would evolve through time, and 4 years later, I think we're ready for the first major revision. We moved a few scenes around, and added 10 new scenes (which meant we of course got rid of 10). The new scenes are highlighted in yellow on the right hand side.

I've also tried to include YouTube clips of each scene where possible. Of course, the temporary nature of that site will mean many of them will disappear as time goes on, so enjoy them while you can.

I also tried to make the interface more user friendly. Each entry now has the same toolbar on the right, so instead of going back and forth to the same giant menu, you can just click to any entry you like from each of them.

In the meantime, check out the new list and let me know what you think. Send your comments and suggestions my way and I'm sure we'll include them in a future incarnation.
