HorrorDaily's Favorite Jump Scares

I'd like to advise not watching the videos if you haven't seen the movies.1. Indious -

Baby's Room.

http://youtu.be/jl75cY4nsXg

The first jump scare Indious was one of the best to come out of recent years. Everything about it works perfectly, some one's in the baby's room, and while he's there from the first frame, we don't notice him right away. Will leave you wondering if you missed something important last time you came home in the dark.

2. The Descent - First Encounter.

I couldn't find a video of just the scene, so you'll have to skip forward a bit to around 1:25. The first encounter with The Crawlers is ealy the best, and the scariest scene in the movie. No matter how many times I see it, I still leave

a brick in my pants.

3. Amityville Horror remake - Bathroom Scene.

Say what you will about the movie, it still had some great scares in it. This scene stuck with me for months afterwards, and every time I used the washroom, I made sure to get the hell out of there without looking in the mirror.

4. Exorcist III - The Nurse Station.

While not the best movie by any stretch of the imagination, Exorcist III had some spooky imagery, and this scene, more so than any other in the series I would say, left the popcorn flying.

5. Final Destination - Bus.

http://youtu.be/7jt2f-Zpe80Everyone knows this scene by now, down to the exact timing, so it's lost it's impact. But I can still remember the first time I seen it, and I can remember jumping ten feet out of my skin, than going back and re-watching it. PS. Love the boyfriends lack of reaction.

6. Indious - Face Of Fire

http://youtu.be/fGT87k_CVJ0

Indious was jam packed with good scares, but even more than the baby's room, this one is what got me. Every time the movie gets to this part, I get so tense waiting for it to happen, I scare myself more now then it does.I had some others I would of liked to list, but I couldn't find them to show you. But I want to know Bidites, what are YOUR favorite jump scares?

Its so hard for me to think of movie that made me jump but I can think of The Stepfather

which had a bunch of cheap jumps which was pretty much the only thing that made the movie "scary".

The remake you mean?

I have a friend who HATES clowns and had never seen this movie. Being the total bitch I am, I did not warn her.

When Cujo first jumps against the car window (Kudos to @Matt for this recommendation)

When the Deadite's hands bust through the door and around Ash's neck in The Evil Dead.

The Marble Hornets has A LOT of really good cat scares in it.

Watch this short video if you're interested. Skip to around 2:20 if you want to jump right into the action.

I just watched Grave Encounters, and there's terrific jump scene in it!! I'm still trying to get out the brown from my couch cushions. LOL!!

What about when Leatherface popped out of the closet in TCM2? That was so unexpected, it scared the pants off me.
