the texas chainsaw massacre scene with the first guy getting slammed in the head by the hammer and then twitching as leatherface drags him in and then slams shut the door - for me this is the purest moment of horror in a film ever - because not only is it sudden and violent, the slamming of the door means that we both want to see what is behind that door and fear seing what is behind that door
the other classic moment is the great scene in the 1925 Phantom of the Opera when the girl wants to pull the mask of the phantom and then she does and shrieks in horror from the visage of the phantom - absolutely perfect
