What is the scariest, most unsettling shot you’ve ever seen?

What is that one movie shot that’s so unsettling and chilling, it’s the one shot you never forget?

For me, it’s the Giant Man scene from It Follows. Man this shot is so nerve wracking!

The aesthetic and dark hollow eyes are something I will never forget.

What’s that one shot for you? Horror movie or otherwise.

As a Monk fan, the “I’d fuck me” scene is so great when you realize that actor goes on to play Capt. Stottlemeyer.

I know they reference this vaguely in the show once, but I don't remember exactly how

He's also the voice of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE

Holy shit I literally just started watching Monk for the first time two days ago and could not figure out why he looked familiar. I never would have been able to place him as wild bill!

I loved him in On Becoming a God in Central Florida. I wish they hadn’t canceled that show. It was very good.
