Thanks to all the members who voted in the poll we have chosen our Top Ten Scary Scenes in the history of cinema - it's all finally counted and ready to be announced!
Is the final list controversial? You bet it is! But we are starting with the runners up - your task is to first guess the title, then try to guess the particular scene, too, and finally tell us how pissed/delighted you are that it made it to our list. Let's go now!
