The one in The Descent never fails to make me jump. *Chef's kiss*!!

I am not a huge fan of jump scares unless they are done perfectly. One of my favorites (because it was frightening and haunting) was in Hereditary. It is when Annie is hidden in the corner of the ceiling as her son is searching the living room. She then emerges from the dark corner and begins to chase him! Added to the tension of the film, and the fact it's his mother after him, and it is truly horrifying.

Yeah that's a really good one. So simple and subtle.

The Haunting of Hill House is SEVERELY underrated. It's an amazing series. A fun fact about the Nell jumpscare: Kate Siegel and Elizabeth Reaser didn't know Victoria Pedretti was in the backseat with makeup on. The director wanted a genuine reaction from the 2 actresses and DID NOT disappoint.

I didn't know that.

I love this topic. One jump scare that really got me as a kid was an episode of Scooby Doo called "Vampire Bats and Scaredy Cats." Their friend answers the telephone, then turns around with fangs, hissing at them. Completely unexpected!

The Invisible Man one got me the most out of those. I made an absolutely RIDICULOUS noise in the cinema.

The lawnmower scene in Sinister, Regan's spider walk in The Exorcist, Kayako's face in the attic, and the tap scene in the Woman in Black are the only jumpscares that have truly scared me. People say that the hospital scene in the exorcist 3 is scary, but I honestly don't get the hype. It's never been a particularly scary or startling scene for me.

@DorisDay-lw4xs Ай бұрын

I would have to include one of the original jumpscares, and one that still holds up today : Ben Gardiner’s head popping out of the damaged hull of the fishing boat in Jaws 😮. I must have seen that film a dozen times and I can never predict exactly when that head is going to appear. Im always milliseconds out. Saw the film back at the cinema in 76 and the whole audience screamed and jumped at the point, people spilling their drinks, and popcorn shooting up into the air. Great stuff 🦈

I went to see The Invisible Man in the theater. And right in the opening scene when she's being really quiet trying to escape, she accidentally hits a dog bowl or something and the noise of that on the speakers had my heart pumping. I was so scared. Hahaha.

It was amazing to watch in theaters wasn't it

@JessicaMosteller Ай бұрын

The american version of The Ring was the first real jump scare I ever experienced and it will stay with me forever but the car scare from The Haunting of Hillhouse is the best jump scare I have ever experienced.

@whatthehorror Ай бұрын

I feel like The Ring was such a formative horror film for so many people. Isn't it amazing! I saw it and jumped out of my skin. I put it back to show someone and even though I'd just jumped at it I jumped again when I replayed it.

The mirror jump scare in 'An American Werewolf in London' (1981) is definitely a top 10 jump scare.

Great list Sarah, here’s some memorable and good jump scares I thought were pretty scary 1. The Photo comparison scene from Sinister 1 2. The kitchen scene from the korean movie - a tale of two sisters

@nedkelly5866 Ай бұрын

Absolutely.... Under the sink in a Tale of Two Sisters creeped me out big time.

@whatthehorror Ай бұрын

Those are both great ones. I think I'll end up doing another list because people keep reminding me of such strong examples.

@gambrilliant Ай бұрын

Here is a few that are memorable to me. American werewolf in london. Nightmare scene in the wood David wakes you with a scary face. The signs the birthday party scene. When the alien steps out from behind the Bush. Jaws the head popping out of the boat.

I remember as a teenager, the moment of Deep blue sea is totally shocking, as you say leave the moment to the imagination of the viewer terrifying in itself, it is what is always said what is not seen is more scary, a long time ago I saw The Descent, it is really creepy and above all distressing Good Top Sarah

The Haunting of Hill House is absolute perfection, I love that show to death! My most recent jump scare would be from Lake Mungo (2008), and that movie actually inspired Mike Flanagan for The Haunting of Hill House and it's one of his favorite movies 😊

The key to a successful is jump scares just need to be done right and not overuse. Second part because even if done right if jump scares is overused it will eventually loose effectiveness with each use

@ashleighstratmann7783 Ай бұрын

I once saw this zombie movie that was so lame even the jump scares weren’t scary. I only lasted 15 minutes through it. Only reason I gave it a chance was because Scyfy had this series about a film crew trying to make a zombie movie and that movie was suppose to be it. Never heard of it again since, and considering how fast I turn away from it I can see why

@profesormacabro Ай бұрын

The overuse of Jump Scares on most modern movies, to me, have gotten quite annoying... but these 10 you mention here are great examples of how to do them properly...

I enjoyed the list & video, but I'm a little confused about whether this is supposed to be the top 10 most famous jump scares, most effective jump scares, or just her favorites. I didn't think it would be most effective, since I believe that Insidious reveal of the Darth Maul demon dude was pretty heavily mocked. But if it was most famous jump scares, I would think something like the Lewton Bus scene from Cat People would show up, since it essentially pioneered the jump scare.

I think it was one of the Conjuring movies when a young ghost decided to play hide and clap. When the woman was in a dark basement and the ghostly hands come out of nowhere and clap!
