Many horror films are generally perceived as a fun and meaty comedy. The behavior of the characters looks funny and absurd, and the main villain is striking in his stupidity. But at the same time, you can highlight many films that are not horror films, which simply make your hair stand on end! Viewers decided to remember which scenes from horror films that were not theirs scared them the most.

Zodiac (2007)





“Are you sure there’s no one else here right now?”

“Would you like to go upstairs and check?”

I couldn't wait for Jake Gyllenhaal to get out of there. I felt like I couldn't breathe, it was so intense.

Parasite (2019)



The scene from Parasite where the "ghost" pokes its head out of the basement/darkness.

The very moment when the film turned from a spy drama into a psychological thriller.

Apocalypse Now (1979)





The scene from Apocalypse Now when they get to the fire base where there are no officers. And no one has enough authority. They find themselves isolated.

Trainspotting (1995)



For ethical reasons, we will not show this footage. The scene with the child is truly shocking.

I saw this movie when I was thirteen when it first came out. I refused to watch it again until I was 30 because of that stupid scene [dead baby crawling on the ceiling].

Mulholland Drive (2001)



The panic in the diner scene is very strong. This is uncontrollable fear.

King Kong (2005)



Watching Andy Serkis get captured and eaten alive by worms made me realize this isn't a light-hearted Kong movie.

American History X (1998)



My adult cinephile father says the sidewalk scene is the creepiest thing he's ever seen on screen.

Requiem for a Dream (2000)



Netizens call the ending of the film an unforgettable frightening scene.

The fact that none of the characters in Requiem die makes it even more terrifying - it's pure horror. Their whole life will be long and terrible.

Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood (2019)



Brad Pitt's visit to Spahn's ranch was one of the most unsettling and horrifying scenes I've ever seen in a not-so-scary movie.

The Neverending Story (1984)



Artax. Swamp of sadness. "You have to try."

You know, even though there were a lot of adult things in children's films during that era that people now consider "traumatic", they actually did have a lot of important lessons.

Nocturnal Animals (2016)



The scariest scene is when Aaron Taylor-Johnson and his friends force Jake Gyllenhaal's family to stop.

In my opinion, this scene is scarier than most real horror films.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)



The scene where Bilbo reaches for the ring.
