You guys are going to think I'm ridiculous, but I jumped more watching The Others at the theatre, than I have jumped my whole life. Weird, huh?

Agreed... Alien hands down.... i could not sit still the entire movie my first time watching it..... That part in the vents...

Salems lot..when the kid was scratching at his mates window.
i was watching this movie where it had
alot of short stories ..like asylum...
Picture this..the house was dark..
em all alone...(so i think)..
doors all securely locked..even lounge door..snacks and drinks on the coffee table in front of me ..oh and ciggies.

Anyways..in one part of the movie..a young child dies and his mother sells her soul to bring him back to life..
he was to return to her at midnight..
he knocked on the door..she goes to open it and there stands her son ..all zombie like.

Anyways ..on the movie he had finished knocking (real creepy sound)..
but ..i could still hear somebody knocking on my living room door..
so em like (shaky voice)..hehehello..
no reply!!..again ..hehehello..still no reply..
em supposed to be home alone right..so by now em shittin myself.
and the light switch seemed miles away from my seat.
So i go to stand up with my weapon of choice..*plastic fork*..ready to do damage..and this fuckin hand grabs my ankles from under the couch..(husband)
his mate comes bursting in thru the lounge door..screaming like a banshee.
I started screaming and was stabbing the air furiously with my fork.
We won't go into detail as to what i finally eneded up doing to those motherfuckers afterwards..who by the way were laughing so hard..em sure one of them pissed thier pants..or was that me !!!

I just remembered another one...


When the hand popped up from the grave near the end of 'Carrie'...We were at the drive-in...I nearly jumped into the floorboard....

BUT...I was 10....AND...Carrie was the first horror movie I had seen besides the old black and whites...

Jumpiest Film.
 

I think alien was defianatley the jumpiest even though I have'nt seen it in a while I remeber it.

after wastching alien again, its only got about 3 really good ones, but still, for its time, that movie was completely terrifying.

The first sentence of this thread caught my attention. Shit jumping-perhaps a new in depth thread is required?

I don't usually jump, I get frightened in a more psychological way. But Haute Tension/Switchblade Romance did make me jump at its intensity.

I must confess, despite expecting it, I did jump at the end of Paranormal Activity. You guys know the bit I mean..

The original Halloween really did a number on me, as did Alien. In more recent years, Blair Witch Project really scared me, especially the end.
