The Silence of the Lambs/Nightmare Fuel


 * The whole serial killer plot. The part with Catherine in the well, where the camera pans up and you see bloody trails and the severed fingernail from the last girl who tried to climb out and failed, scares me even after seeing that film several times.
 * The book has the added note that Catherine remembered reading about a girl's broken fingernails before that in an article about Buffalo Bill and realizes who has her.To add to the scene, Ted Levine's completely inhuman and mocking screams just pile on the horror.
 * "It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again." Unless you insert inappropriate laughter...
 * The scene where.
 * Including a later scene where other guards storm the prison room and find Together with the music, a Revolting Moment of Awesome... Hell, the whole part was terrifying.
 * Agent Starling trying to find her way around in the dark, with the villain just behind her, mockingly reaching out and not quite touching her.
 * The creepy storage garage, in which Starling finds  wearing makeup.
 * The poster itself. A Nightmare Face comprised of nothing but a pair of yellow eyes and a large yellow moth. Although it's justified considering that the face is Foreshadowing one of the methods the serial killer uses on his victims.
 * The SWAT team and security officers finding LT. Boyle crucified to Lector’s cell.
