Alien scared the fuck out of the 50 or so people that were there...we stumbled out into the early morning in shock.

Washington back in the day must have been a very interesting place to live indeed.
Nice to know something about you clocker.
When I first arrived here, I'm ashamed to admit that in my ignorance, I made some assumptions about you not based on any facts.Nothing too bad just a knee-jerk reaction to authority.
I think that might be the scariest thing of all.

Plus of course at the very end of "Carrie" when...... well you know.
Best jump out of your seat moment if not really the scariest.

In making my nomination the criteria is that the movie not only had to make the audience "jump", but also affected them afterwards.

My choice is IMO a masterpiece of cinematography because it had the lamest special effects and still had people jumping out of their seats and covering their eyes. Seeing this film really did make people nervous about "going in the water".

I nominate "JAWS"

If it were released today I doubt it would have a fraction of the impact but in it's day it truly was the definition of scary.
