Of course there are alot of even better scenes like:-

*[The Evil Dead]: When Ash has his reflection in the mirror jump out at him and
 when his dead girlfriend appears at the window after dancing.

*[The Fog]:(The best horror of all time) When the old sailor finishes telling
 ghost stories and the bells chime.The camera then rises up to show a very
 atmospheric shot of the beach and the music make this very creepy.

*[The Shining]:When the little girls ask the boy to play with them for ever and
 ever in the corridor in the hotel , very hair-on-end scene

*[Salem's lot]:When the brother comes , i should say floats , to the window
 at the hospital where his big brother is in care and then he scrapes at the
window to get in. The way he floats in , looks at the camera and bites his
brothers neck is very atmospheric and well scarey.

If any more of you horror buffs have anymore really cool scenes they want to 
share then please reply to me or to the news system.

     SOCIETY THEN PLEASE FORWARD THEIR NAMES AND ADRESSES TO THE NEWS

     SYSTEM . THE IDEA WOULD BE TO ORGANISE TRIPS TO THE HORROR FESTIVALS

     EXCHANGE FILMS , IDEAS ETC..............HOPE TO HEAR FAE ALL YOU
