Favorite Jump Scare?

[Drizzle]

 

[Sawyer]

Can’t believe I forgot…

 

[Kane52630]

I remember the one that kept me up so many nights.

 

[The Lazarus Pit]

Exorcist III
Insidious
Jaws
Mulholland Drive

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

One more. This gem from Cloverfield starting at 1:01



Whew!

 

[Ninjablade]

Not necessarily my favorite, just one that has always stuck with me. I'm not a jumpy person in the slightest, but for whatever reason this stupid choking scene in Insidious: Chapter 2 is the one thing that got me.

 

[Sawyer]

Not movies, but they count IMO.

My picks are the facehugger jumping out in Alien and the infected breaking into the house in 28 Days Later.

This made me jump when I saw it for the first time in 2008 in theatres! So did Joker suddenly shouting “Look at me!!!”

That one actually still gets me sometimes, whenever I'm watching it in the background.

Drag Me To Hell had some great ones.

So did the A Quiet Place movies.

In Sinister, this scene really gave me chills. There are a lot of effective jump scares, but for this, I was not prepared ahaha

 

[Sithborg]

I don't think a jump scare has ever got me as good as the one in Haunting of Hill House.

Still effective to this day, and works as an actual plot development.
