- #21, Children of the Corn. What’s scary about that? “For this list, it is the scene where a calm diner is taken over by murderous children who kill all the adults present in barbaric ways.”
- #17 was the prom massacre in the Brian DePalma classic, Carrie.
- #12- MISERY! Andin particular, the scene where Annie uses a sledge hammer to destroy Paul Sheldons legs.
- #3- was none other than The Shining.
