What's your favorite "Holy Sh*t!* horror moment from a film?

I started doing this feature on my blog where I talk about moments in horror movies that really made you say "Oh Sh*t!" or "Holy Sh*t!" out loud....most of the time it comes from something gory or shocking or something that catches you off guard.  
 
My first scene that I picked was the first shotgun blast in Martyrs in the scene where Anna goes to meet her tormentors.  
 
 
So tell me what your favorite "Holy Sh*t!" moments are from a horror movie.....

At the end of the original "Carrie" movie when the arm jumped out of the ground and grabbed her friend I jumped back in my seat. I'm sure that's not the only one - it just was the most memorable one because it was the first.

I also loved the first head exposion in "Scanners"

And although it's not horror - that melting nazi face in "Raiders of the Lost Ark"

These are all really old, aren't they?

That's an easy one: Kathy Bates hobbling James Caan in Misery. Kathy was the iconic psycho of the 1990s, I feel.

One of my first " Holy She-ite" moments was watching the ORIGINAL " When a Stranger Calls" and hearing the killer answer the question. When she screamed " What do you want!!!!?" He had the best answer I've ever heard uttered. Chills down your spine and a vivid mental picture are guaranteed! The actor in the remake never came close! Granted, the original plods and is dated as hell, but he was one creepy actor and still plays out as someone ya don't want to set down next to ya and offer to buy you a drink!

In the same vein? "When A Stranger Calls Back"? In the final scene. When the killer reveals WHERE he is in the room with Jill? Is the BEST REVEAL OF A KILLERS HIDING PLACE I'VE EVER SEEN. That reveal flips me out every time I watch it. Slow mo the DVD and watch frame by frame. It is epic. Much creepier killer than the first one had for sure. 

Halloween H2o. When she cut his head off, I was sure it was over!

Mine would probably be the nurse scene from The Exorcist III.
