My left testicle has failed to re-descend since I first saw that scene.

While not a horror movie, and utterly eclipsed by The Sixth Sense, the scene with the static on the couch - where Kevin Bacon flips on the television, then looks to the right to see the ghost... I can't help but just shudder, every time. There's no music, no expectation... just *there*. Another is The Birds, to me - the complete lack of soundtrack again changes what you expect. The journey upstairs to the room where the birds have entered, the entire cliche' of 'don't open that door' turned on its head by the lack of ambient music (the hallmark of that movie)... Finally... Rear Window. Jimmy Stuart's utter helplessness at watching the murder below, his amazing portrayal and the audience's sense of surreal experience... I don't know that there's another movie moment quite like it. Stir of Echoes.

I think he uses frequencies in the sub bass range. There were scenes in Fire Walk with Me that rate as some of the most disturbing I have ever seen, even though the visuals were not actually that twisted. I understand you as well when you say there is a differnce between a creepy scene , a gross scene and a disturbing scene. What are your picks for the 10 most disturbing scenes?

However, as per my definition at the start of this article, it is not sublime. Why? Because the horror is really the frustration of Jack Torrence- his madness is not sublime, it is psychological. The same goes for Silence of the Lambs, although I never once found that film scary. Hi Will,
