Anyone else got scarred from the lotr scene
2012 sinister was way better then a poorly edit jumó scare from the woman in black
Woman in black over sinister's lawn mower scene? Seriously?
That jump scare from It Follows legit terrified me. Also the one that got me in The Conjuring was Bathsheba on top of the wardrobe
Don't get me wrong – I love seeing The Woman in Black getting love. But 2012 had the lawnmower scene in Sinister, and that is hands-down the scariest.
Bilbo lol yeah right
The diner jumps are in Mulholland Drive (2001) was pretty damn good
The post credit jump scare when Baghul in sinister was left out, and when the cupboards fly open in paranormal activity 2
The bear in Chernobyl Diaries
Not seen REC, The House Of The Devil, Crawl, Host and Spiral.
IT chapter one 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
In it follows the little boy was worse then the tall man.
The inferi jump scare in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was good. Anyone who read the books knew it was coming, but the silence, the dark cave atmosphere, and not knowing the exact moment it was going to happen made it even better.
Yaaaas! “I saw her face “.
Agree about the atmosphere contrast
The Grudge
Watch mojo butchers names sometimes bit thanks for pronouncing “Kayako” properly
With do respect to the invisible man, I think it’s easier to do jump scares there since he’s invisible. Esp the whole paint or ink over him thing. Been done in other films and cartoons
Um, you better double check that IMDb release date for Cabin in the Woods. It didn’t get a release until April 2012.
Festival premieres don’t count.
2018 has The Haunting of Hill House too but not even a mention
I remember watching The Cabin in the Woods during a 1st date in a full theater. I was soooo suprised by the title, I suddenly stood up from my seat and spilled a lot of popcorn on my date 😂
Sorry but Mulholland Dr came out in 2001, and it has one of the all time great jump scares
Am I the only one who sees Darth Maul in the lipstick demon?
2012 should definitely go to the outstanding Lawn Work '86 scene in Sinister
What Lies Beneath came out when I was five and my parents were watching the movie when I walked in on that tub scene. For the last 22 years that scene has been stored in the back of my mind never knowing the name of the movie nor the actors and it’s been driving me crazy ever since I saw it. Thank you WatchMojo cause it’s such a relief to know what movie it was
23:45 ……………. That was definitely a jump scare. Yikes!
I'd like to add when we first see Gabriel as a child in Malignant.
Even with the voice over…Some of these still made me jump
What a amazing and scary / creepy video really enjoying this thanks watchmojo 🖤😈
Hereditary – "a naked man in the doorway" ? You mean his father in the middle of the room next to the fireplace and not a doorway?
Seen The Ring, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Descent, The Dark Knight, Insidious, The Cabin In The Woods, The Woman In Black, The Conjuring, It Follows, The Visit, The Conjuring 2, It: Chapter 1, Hereditary, Crawl, Spiral
I'd love to argue that, for the 2012 entry, The Hunger Games should have taken the spot, specifically that moment when Peeta looks into that bush and everything goes quiet, before suddenly that mutt leaps out and all hell breaks loose. I watched that in theaters and, yeah, I knew there was something coming, but the intensity of both visual and audio surprised me so much that I literally JUMPED, as in, my heart skipped a beat abd my breath caught in my chest as my body, for a quick second, entered into actual fight or flight response.
What happened to the jump scare from man bat in the mirror of Bruce in Dawn of justice??
I also heard there’s a terrifying moment involving a body in Lake Mungo.
Fun fact: the girl who plays Samara in The Ring voices Chihiro in Spirited Away
Bro for 2002 the scariest jump-scare was definitely from 28 days later where they run and bust through the window and for 2004 it’s creep involving a flashlight
I will not really spoil them because it’s REALLY REALLY worth it SK go watch it
Movies: 28 days later and Creep
That "jump scare sound" or music is called a "musical sting." What a great name for it. That jump scare in "The Descent" was the first time in years, or ever, that caused me, my sister, and my brother-in-law to all jump up from our seats and scream while slopping our drinks everwhere! I've gasped or slightly screamed before possibly, but I don't think I've ever actually "jumped" out of my seat straight up while screaming! All three of us did! Wow, that was a real "JUMP SCARE!"
Wow confirmed why I stopped watching most horror movies with there uninspired (not scary)jump scare and stories that just rehash stuff that been done a million times before with no new twist or creativity. I heard Jordan peele horror films brought some freshness, maybe I sit down and watch of few of those.
The bathroom seance scene in the bathroom in what lies beneath has a great jump scare that then relax you,they build the tension between the silence,the seance and the two women and a flickering candle,they ask If anyone is there,tense silence…broken by the big family dog barging through the door,que sigh of relief and uneasy laughter from those watching 👀 😀
Paranormal Activity should’ve got it for the ending and honestly 2 and 3 have some fantastic jump scares too
I love ❤️ horror movies 🎥 🍿
