10 Bits of Films I absolutely cannot watch
I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to scary bits in films, to the extent where I have to leave the room altogether because even the music 'sting' of the following scenes is enough to cause worrying vibrations in my bowels. Funnily enough, the fact that I've seen all of these multiple times (or, more accurately, cowered in the bedroom with a pillow over my head multiple times) does not make them any less disturbing:

1) The aforementioned bit of 7even where the emaciated bloke comes alive.
2) Ben Gardner's head coming through the bottom of the boat in Jaws. Much scarier than the 'leg' scene, even when you know it's coming. In fact, probably worse.
3) The scene where the ghostly pair of legs walk pass the bathroom door in the Sixth Sense.
4) The final scene of Carrie.
5) The bathroom scene in The Shining.
6) The strange dwarf woman in Don't Look Now

Now this isn't too embarrassing so far, because at least they're all supposed to be fairly scary films. But now these start getting really pathetic...

7) Most of the Doctor Who episode 'Blink'.
8) The hand of the corpses in Harry Potter Episode VI
9) The first crocodile attack in Crocodile Dundee

and most pathetic of all...

10) The scene in Jonathan Creek (yes, Jonathan Creek) where the old lady dreams that the cyclops is coming to get her.

Click, because Blink is one of the best DW episodes ever. My daughter can't watch it, perhaps the 2 of you could cower behind the sofa together?!

I can't watch the bit in 'American Werewolf in London' where (IIRC) he sits up in a bed in the middle of the woods, with yellow eyes and a purple tinge to the skin (I think it's part of a dream sequence)... I would watch it again to give you a better description, but tbh I'm too much of coward!

Ahh, here we are: www.thepinksmoke.com/images/americanwerewolfmonster.jpg - still can't look at it for too long! :-/

'Blink' is awsome
and I spent most of it peering over the top of a cushion, much to the amusement of my housemates.

Blink is awesome
I screamed so loudly in the theatre at the bathroom scene in The Shining, my brother got up, moved away from me and pretended he didn't know me.

If those are bits of films you can't watch
best avoid Ringu, Audition and The Eye.

I remember the Jonathon Creek scene
