How horror movies pulled off their best scares.
Even some of the scariest horror movies ever made needed to utilize bizarre behind-the-scenes trickery to terrify viewers. The movie industry is rife with absurd tricks that horror filmmakers use to creep out audiences. Some of these ploys are surprisingly obvious, from the infamously ubiquitous jump scare to the use of subliminal imagery first popularized by The Exorcist.
10 London’s Abandoned Streets Aren’t A Set - 28 Days Later While 28 Days Later introduced the world to the terror of fast zombies, one of the movie’s scariest scenes is terrifying precisely because of its jarring tranquility and silence. 28 Days Later begins with its hero waking up from a coma and walking through the deserted streets of London, unable to understand why there isn’t a soul around.
7 The Score Is In Your Bones - Irreversible Gaspar Noe’s controversial New French Extremity movie Irreversible is terribly upsetting, but the grim, downbeat movie’s story isn’t the only thing that makes it hard to watch. A rape-revenge story told in reverse, Irreversible robs viewers of the usual catharsis expected from the genre with two of the most intense and explicit scenes ever committed to film. To make matters worse, Irreversible also uses infrasound in its score.
4 The Possessed Kid Is A Contortionist - The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is not the best movie in the Conjuring franchise, but the odd amalgamation of courtroom drama and supernatural horror still has its moments. Primarily, the gruesome scene of a young David Glatzel snapping his spine backward in front of Ed and Lorraine Warren is as memorably brutal as anything in the first two movies.
