Hands-down the scariest film I've ever seen is The Changeling starring George C Scott. Monster movies don't affect me at all, but ghost tales are another story. Trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSx5zepTvo4

Hah - no.
Quote: Lee Henman @ November 3 2008, 11:03 AM GMTI wrote an American Werewolf sketch for our Comedy Lab punt but it didn't get filmed because we couldn't get Jimmy Saville. Work THAT one out if you can!
Is it somebody being bitten by Jimmy saville and later changing into him?
Quote: Griff @ November 3 2008, 11:13 AM GMTI like the idea of the Savile-wolf howling eurgh-eurgh-eurgh.
Good old Jimmy. Why isn't he dead yet?

He's on Saville Row awaiting his execution

Waheyy!
The Others. I cannot really pinpoint any scenes, it just got scarier and scarier from a rather humble beginning...

No but I like it.
Hard to beat the girl exiting the telly in The Ring, especially the original Japanese version. One film that terrified me as a child was Child's Play. With Chucky. And Poltergeist, with the clown. Mind you, even the clown in Octopussy gives me the Heebee Jeebies
Lee and David - what about 'Heebee Jeebies' as a name for your sketch pilot?
I do declare that you're all wimps.
But it's fun to be scared by films!!
Well, unless it's a clown.

What? A midget clown !?

Cheers Nick but that ship's sailed now. It's all in the lap of the comedy Gods now, nestling next to their holy comedy bollocks.
Oh no, I wouldn't mind a midget anything. I can run away from an ickle clown, zombie or werewolf. Possibly.
It certainly wasn't a very scary film, but it did have a surprise unhappy ending, and I'm trying to think of the name of it for something - maybe someone on here knows; it was made and set in the 1970s and featured two couples going on holiday in motorhomes. I think there may have been a wife-swapping subplot. One of the men, I think, was the guy from M*A*S*H with curly hair. They are attacked by a group of devil-worshipping hippies and their motorhome burnt, or something. A sort of poor Wicker Man plot.
