though there are MANY excellent scenes (including the dream sequence at the Diner - very beginning of the movie...) the most memorable scene is "the mailman"...anyone who's seen the movie will KNOW what I'm talking about : the *line* was "what are you? some kind of asshole?"...it's a running gag- Jack Palance's character (Frank) REALLY doesn't like being called an asshole and the mailman found out the wages of that sin--

"Alone in the Dark" -- Martin Landau, D Pleasance, and Jack Palance (this is the one that came out sometime in the mid 80's during the hey day of the slashers...)

The first scene in Lost Highway with Robert Blake:
Scary Guy: "We've met before"
Protagonist: "I don't think so"
Scary Guy: "Sure we have. At your house. You invited me"
Protagonist:"?"
Scary Guy: "Sure we have. In fact, I'm there right now. Call me."
That is one of the most creepy scenes ever.
Nothing even happens, but.......what a master of mood that man is.

The Thing ( Carpenter ):
The sounds when it first shoots all those tendrils out of the body of the husky; thinking about it, pretty much any sound the Thing makes, plus the alarm siren ( I think Ministry sampled it on 'A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste')and there's loads of choice dialogue. That film scared the crap out of me as a kid.
Audition- that horrible 'ti ti ti ti' little noise the woman makes, gives me the willies just thinking about it.
Braindead- " I kick arse for the Lord!"

From Beyond when that thing starts poking out of his head. And the chick screaming at the end of the movie.
Re-Animator when the head talks all gobby from the pan.
Horror Express when they start chanting to raise the dead kossacks (can't remember what it sounds like actually, but I always loved that scene as a kid).
The laughing at the end of Count Yorga, mostly because it so cornball.
Any line from Army of Darkness. The tape from Evil Dead.
Any line or werewolf sound from the Howling.
Sadly, I can't actually remember to many of those kinds of things.
