You know, in all of my time watching horror movies, I've found that just because you've finished a movie, doesn't mean the movie is finished with you.

So, with that in mind, what's a horror movie scene that refuses to leave your brain? Like, it's burned in there, and you see it when you close your eyes?

Maybe it's a well-known scene from a classic, like the "Come play with us" sequence in The Shining (1980).

Or, perhaps it's a scene from something newer, like all of the nightmare-inducing moments involving Gordy in Nope (2022).

Heck, maybe it's a scene from something less well-known, like the stomach-turning torture sequence in Audition (1999).
