One moment that totally made me spit out my Stella Artois - when in broad daylight some hideous zombie-like corpse thing suddenly looms from behind a corner, freaking out buddy. The hilariouness of the incongruity of a relatively innocuous (or, at least, zombie-free) parking lot scene, in broad daylight, combined with ambushing corpses, is something that is very, very, very special to this filmgoer.

whoa - don't even get me started on one of my alltime favourites. There's not enough bandwidth in this website.

Even when I was a kid that film totally made me howl. Something Matt Groening-like about James Woods simply makes me laugh. (to clarify further: he could be the perfect substitute for Binky). Stuffing Betamax tapes into peoples' guts, a hand fusing its flesh over the gun it's holding (or vise-versa?), that Professor Oblivion shmuck......it made me laugh much in the same way the exploding heads in "Scanners" did. Miss Harry was fucking hot - maybe trying a LITTLE too hard, but still - rrrrrrrrowr!
"Wait Until Dark" is a 1967 suspense flick that I found distinctly disturbing by the way the creepy Alan Arkin preyed on the blind Audrey Hepburn. The sadistic cat and mouse dynamic can be a wee bit gratuitously manipulative, but the two leads, along with the compelling, plausible, well-paced plot, makes this film highly recommended. And Henry Mancini's discordant piano score is quite menacing.
EDIT: funny, Shebang.......I just now saw your Mulholland post in the top 5 horror moment thread. I forgot that it was a nightmare thing. And that extra shot of said zombie retreating back behind the corner - that REALLY made it a special, Hallmark cards kind of thing for me.
