SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) -- Hezbollah was behind a bus attack that killed five Israeli tourists in Bulgaria last year, investigators said Tuesday, describing a sophisticated bombing carried out by a terrorist cell that included Canadian and Australian citizens.
The first major announcement in the investigation carried broad diplomatic implications, as countries that consider the Shiite militant group to be a terrorist organization called on Europe -- which has resisted such a move -- to crack down on the group.
Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov said two of the suspects had been living in Lebanon for years -- one with a Canadian passport and the other with an Australian one. He said investigators had traced their activities back to their home countries.
"We have well-grounded reasons to suggest that the two were members of the militant wing of Hezbollah," Tsvetanov said after a meeting of Bulgaria's National Security Council.
A third suspect entered Bulgaria with them on June 28, he said, without giving details.
Within hours, Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati condemned the attack and said his country would cooperate fully.
Hezbollah, a Shiite militant group and political party in Lebanon that emerged in response to Israel's 1982 invasion, has been linked to attacks and kidnappings on Israeli and Jewish interests around the world.
The group has denied involvement in the Bulgaria bombing, and Hezbollah officials in Beirut declined further comment Tuesday. They customarily defer to Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah to comment on security issues.
The bomb exploded as the Israeli tourists made their way from the airport to their hotel in the Black Sea resort of Burgas. The blast also killed the Bulgarian driver and the suspected bomber, a tall and lanky pale-skinned man wearing a baseball cap and dressed like a tourist.
Although it was initially believed to be a suicide bombing, Europol Director Rob Wainwright told The Associated Press that investigators now believe the bomber never intended to die. He said a Europol expert who analyzed a fragment of a circuit board determined that the bomb was detonated remotely.
The investigators found no links to Iran, which Israel had accused of playing a role in the attack.
The findings increased pressure on Europe to declare Hezbollah to be a terrorist organization, as the United States and Canada do.
"The attack in Burgas was an attack on European land against a member of the European Union," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. "We hope the Europeans learn the proper conclusions from this about the true character of Hezbollah."
U.S. counterterrorism adviser John Brennan, who is President Barack Obama's nominee to run the Central Intelligence Agency, said Europe should seek to uncover Hezbollah's infrastructure and disrupt the group's finances and operational network.
Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird went further.
"We urge the European Union and all partners who have not already done so to list Hezbollah as a terrorist entity and prosecute terrorist acts committed by this inhumane organization to the fullest possible extent," he said.
Catherine Ashton, the European Union's top foreign and security official, said the EU needs to assess the implications of the investigation seriously but stressed any decision on adding Hezbollah to the EU list of terrorist organizations would require a unanimous decision by the foreign ministers of the 27 EU countries. Their next scheduled meeting is Feb. 18.
France and Germany, wary of coming under pressure to condemn the group, had urged investigators not to publicly name Hezbollah in the bombing, according to a U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the news media.
Wainwright -- whose organization helps coordinate national police across the EU, which includes Bulgaria -- said in an interview that counterfeit U.S. driver's licenses that were found near the bombing scene were made in Lebanon. Tsvetanov said the fake licenses were from Michigan.
The investigators, he said, found no direct links to Iran or to any al-Qaida-affiliated terror group.
"The Bulgarian authorities are making quite a strong assumption that this is the work of Hezbollah," Wainwright said. "From what I've seen of the case -- from the very strong, obvious links to Lebanon, from the modus operandi of the terrorist attack and from other intelligence that we see -- I think that is a reasonable assumption."
For Hezbollah, the accusation comes at a horrible time.
Despite its formidable weapons arsenal and political clout in Lebanon, the group's credibility and maneuvering space has been reduced in recent years, largely because of the war in neighboring Syria but also because of unprecedented challenges at home.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Talk about high expectations for a newborn: King and Messiah are among the fastest-rising baby names for American boys.
They're just a little behind Major, the boy's name that jumped the most spots on the Social Security Administration's annual list of popular baby names.
Jacob is the most popular for boys -- again -- and Sophia is the top name for girls, according to the list released Thursday.
It was Jacob's 14th straight year at the top. Next were Mason, Ethan, Noah and William. Liam cracked the top 10 for the first time, coming in at No. 6. Daniel slipped out of the top 10 for the first time since 1998, to No. 11.
It was Sophia's second year in a row at the top for girls. Next were Emma, Isabella, Olivia and Ava.
But what about those rising boys' names?
Typically, says Laura Wattenberg, author of "The Baby Name Wizard" and founder of Babynamewizard.com, "You don't get a lot of Messiahs. You can have a lot more Majors."
"I have no doubt Major's rising popularity as a boy's name is in tribute to the brave members of the U.S. military, and maybe we'll see more boys named General in the future," said acting Social Security Commissioner Carolyn W. Colvin.
Wattenberg said Americans have long given their children "aggrandizing names." She noted that Noble and General were on the list of popular boys' names for much of the 20th century, though neither ever cracked the top 100.
"We've pretty much run out of presidential names, all the Jeffersons and Jacksons and Madisons, so we're moving on to the aristocracy, I guess, or to the military."
Jennifer Moss, author of "The One-in-a-Million Baby Name Book" and founder of Babynames.com, says she discourages parents from giving children "expectation names, like Justice and Chastity."
"We feel that it kind of puts an undue pressure on the child when you use those kinds of grandiose or purity names," Moss said.
Chastity was in the top 1,000 for more than two decades before dropping off the list in 1994. Justice was on the list in 1880 but then fell off for more than 100 years. The name reappeared in 1992 and was No. 518 last year.
Jacob's popularity endures because the name has much of what parents look for in a boy's name, said Moss.
"It's easy to pronounce, and it's easy to spell. It's a solid manly name," she said. "It's a biblical name, and biblical names are always in style."
On the girls' side, Sophia first cracked the top 100 in 1997. Isabella dropped off the list from 1949 to 1990.
The Social Security Administration's website provides lists of the top 1,000 baby names for each year, dating to 1880. The top baby names that year were John and Mary. John is now No. 28 and Mary has fallen to No. 123 -- the lowest for both names.
The list, which also includes top baby names by state, draws millions of viewers. The agency hopes that people go to the website to see the baby names and stay to learn about other services.
The website also shows which names are gaining -- and losing -- popularity. Among the boys' names that are spiking, Major jumped 505 spots, to No. 483, followed by Gael, Jase, Messiah and Brantley. Messiah gained 246 spots, to No. 387.
Jase Robertson is a character on the reality TV show "Duck Dynasty," about a family that runs a business making duck calls and other duck hunting gear. Gael Garc

Bandsintown app helps keep track of concerts
WTOP's Tim Bracken reports.
Tim Bracken, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - The D.C. area has many venues that host concerts, and it can be a daunting task keeping track where bands are playing and when.
Several smartphone apps have been developed to solve this problem, but not many have garnered the overwhelmingly positive feedback that Bandsintown has received.
What makes it so special?
Bandsintown can link to your iTunes, Pandora, Facebook and last.fm accounts, so you never miss a concert from your favorite bands.
The advantage of linking to a Facebook page is that the app will look for any band you've "Liked," including local bands that may perform at a small venue off the beaten path.
Once the app is set up, there are three types of searches: "Concert Cloud," "Recommended" and "All Local Shows."
The "Concert Cloud" search creates a word cloud that highlights the user's most talked-about bands. It's a convenient way to quickly pick out a handful of top- pick concerts.
The "Recommended" and unfiltered searches organize concerts by date and venue.
Bandsintown excels in all categories -- no small venues are skipped.
Individual concert listings allow the user to purchase tickets, and then the app shows others which concerts you're attending.
There is a minor quirk to the program. Since it will search for all bands that have been "Liked" by a Facebook user, users may find that the activity log states they are searching for concerts by the Beatles or other groups that no longer exist.
The free app is available for Apple and Android devices.
Here is a list of highlights from Tim Bracken's Bandsintown-recommended concert search for this weekend:
Friday, Feb. 8
- Arlo Guthrie at the Birchmere
- Solas at the Barns at Wolf Trap
- Matt Simmons, Chris Ayer, Jesse Ruben at Jammin' Java
- Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds at the Hamilton
- Carrie Rodriguez at Artisphere
- Joshua Redman at Blues Alley
Saturday, Feb. 9
- Taj Mahal at the State Theatre
- Sara Davenport at Ebenezer's Coffeehouse
- Dot Dash at the Rock & Roll Hotel
- Adrian Krygowski at the The Hamilton
- Arlo Guthrie (night two) at the Birchmere
Sunday, Feb. 10
- 10,000 Maniacs at the Birchmere
- Bon Jovi at the Verizon Center
- The Residents at Sixth & I Historic Synagogue
- Tribute to Aretha Franklin at the Howard Theatre
- Willy Mason at DC9

Maryland Innkeepers: Consider a Portrait Photographer
March 20th, 2013 by Maryland B&B Association
Maryland innkeepers understand that in this day and age of internet marketing, achieving instant rapport with a prospective guest is essential and your website is the crucial portal to your future success.
Professional photography of your inn including special features and your food service is easy, but what about a photo of you? Most innkeepers don't consider good portraiture of themselves as a key component of the sales process, but people want to put a human face on the experience they are about to enjoy!
The guest's overnight experience involves more than just selecting the room they want to stay in. They are choosing you as well! It is your labor & love of the world of innkeeping that makes your inn a warm and inviting destination. Your guest is seeking the unique experience of a bed and breakfast, and that includes choosing "a unique place and a friendly face".
A professionally produced environmental portrait is an essential component of unique branding. There is no other you!
What exactly is an environmental portrait? Simply put, it is an image placing you in your element reflecting the image you want to portray of your inn.
If your inn style is casual, then our photo shoot will be casual. If your style is formal and upscale, your portrait will reflect that. If you have a strikingly unique feature to your inn, we will make that the focal point in our portrait of you.
When contracting the professional to photograph you in your establishment, an additional qualification to consider is that photographer's ability to bring out the best in you. Looking at the photographer's portfolio will showcase how well they capture the individual in their environment.
It is an old axiom but a true one: you only get one chance to make a good first impression.
You are your inn, so remember to let your future guests see you both at your best through the lens of a professional photographer!

The Brampton Bed and Breakfast Inn
Crow Farmstay B&B
Inn at Huntingfield Creek
Moonlight Bay Inn
June 22nd, 2012 by Maryland B&B Association
One of the joys of staying at a Maryland Bed and Breakfast is the wonderful food you can look forward to in the morning. Here is a recipe shared with you from Danielle Hanscom, innkeeper at the Brampton Bed and Breakfast Inn in Chestertown.
Herbed Scrambled Eggs
This is a versatile and delicious breakfast dish that can be adapted to what is in season. It holds up well in a 180 degree oven or a chafing dish on a buffet. This recipe can be easily doubled.
For a simple breakfast I'll use a mixture of just parsley or parsley and lovage and serve it with a side of smoked bacon.
To dress it up I'll use just dill and add ribbons of smoked salmon on top.
For a summer breakfast I'll use basil and serve it with a side of roasted grape tomatoes.
For a breakfast with an exotic twist add 1 tablespoon of curry and 1 tablespoon of finely chopped cilantro.
Serves 4
6 large eggs
4 oz. cream cheese
¼ cup light cream
½ tsp. sea salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
1 Tbs. unsalted butter
1 ½ Tbs. fresh herbs such as parsley, basil, tarragon, lovage, dill finely minced
In a small glass bowl microwave cream cheese for 20 seconds. You want the cream cheese to be very soft.
In a large bowl whisk together eggs, light cream, salt, pepper and one tablespoon of herbs.
Add cream cheese and stir together. It doesn't need to be totally incorporated.
In a large frying pan heat butter over medium heat until it foams. Stir in eggs and cook until small curds form. Approx. 7 min. Be careful not to let it brown.
Divide amongst 4 plates and sprinkle with the rest of the fresh herbs.
If it goes on a buffet I'll put it in a chafing dish and sprinkle with the rest of the herbs.

Inspected B&Bs
June 8th, 2012 by Maryland B&B Association
When choosing a B&B it can be daunting to decide on a place that will live up to ones expectations. Looking at websites is the best way to get a first impression. One more thing that is very helpful is to know that a B&B belongs to an association that inspects all it's member inns before admitting them.
The Maryland Bed and Breakfast Association was founded in 1992 and for the past 20 years all it's members have undergone a regular and thorough inspection. For the past 4 years with the help of an outside inspector. When looking for the right B&B to stay in Maryland you will not regret having chosen a member inn. It's a better way to stay!

So sorry I haven't updated the site in a few days. As I mentioned in my previous post, I've been completely engrossed in women's gymnastics and Gabrielle Douglas! I'm still in New York City though, and I attended a press preview for designer Robert Rodriguez and a Mulu cocktail party at De Santos downtown with Digital Brand Architects. At the RR preview I saw some amazing pieces, which I will detail for you early next week. They included a paper thin leather pencil skirt, a cobalt blue trend and some great peplum pieces.
Then I headed down to De Santos to meet with the lovely Mulu team. The company is promoting Mulu Box, a great widget/application that lets you curate products from over 90% of retailers online and sell them on your site. It's super easy, and they take care of all the commissions for you. AND, you can even choose to have your profits donated directly to your favorite charity. Pretty cool, huh? Okay, back to work for me! Got another exciting week of fashion posts for you! Enjoy the rest of your weekend! – Sade
P.S. One of the best parts of being out here in NYC is getting to meet NYC's best fashion bloggers!

ANA Code of EthicsACADEMIC INTEGRITYThe TMC Division of Nursing expects students to be honest in all of their academic endeavors. Students are expected to adhere to the ANA Code of Ethics for Nurses and the Standards of Practice for Professional Nurses.
Cheating, plagiarism, forgery, or other forms of academic misconduct are not tolerated. It is the responsibility of each student to ensure their academic pursuits are conducted with utmost integrity. Cheating of any kind will be handled directly by the Faculty member and will result in a grade of '0' or dismissal from the course with a grade of 'F.' If cases of cheating are referred to the Vice President of Academic Services, the student may be suspended or expelled from TMC. Any nursing student who copies or falsifies a report for any assignment, clinical project, clinical care plan, term or research paper without doing the required work will result in a grade of '0.'
Students are required to submit papers to the web based program, Turnitin, prior to submitting the paper to the faculty for a grade. The student must create an account on Turnitin. A 'similarity report' from Turnitin is required to be turned in with the paper. Only papers with a score of less than 15% will be accepted by the faculty. Keep in mind it takes a minimum of 24 hours after submission to receive the 'similarity report.'
As a biblically centered institution, TMC has established the rules and policies of student conduct based on biblical truths, moral standards, and ethical principles. It is the responsibility of the individual student to maintain high professional and ethical principles. The professional nurse is accountable for professional standards in the practice of nursing published in the American Nurses' Association (ANA) Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements (2001); and the National Student Nurses' Association, Code of Academic and Clinical Conduct (2001); Code of Professional Conduct (1999); and Code of Ethics for Nursing Students (2009).

50 terrifying movie moments
The scariest scenes from the best horror movies ever made
Fri Oct 24 2014
CommentsAdd +
Here, as the dark cloud of Halloween descends, we showcase the horror movie scenes that have made us cower in our boots, dash for the exit sign and – in the case of 'Guest House Paradiso' – weep for the very future of humankind. Some of these terrifying moments are on here for personal reasons ('Who Framed Roger Rabbit', 'The Vanishing'), some constitute lesser-known gems ('The profound Desire of the Gods') and some are simply chilling horror classics which no list of this nature should be without ('Jaws', 'The Exorcist').
WARNING: The most terrifying scenes of these scary movies often tend to take place at the end. Some of the following entries contain major spoilers – we've flagged them up, but we urge readers to proceed with caution.
By Dave Calhoun, Tom Huddleston, David Jenkins, Adam Lee Davies, Derek Adams
The 50 most terrifying movie moments: 50-41
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)
Director: David Hand
Cast: (Animated feature)
If you can't get even – get old
The Evil Queen in this Disney animation is none too pleased when the mirror on the wall breaks the bad news: Snow White is alive and still the fairest of them all. That does it: the Queen sets to work on a magic spell – 'The Peddler's Disguise' – that will allow her to get into Snow White's home and give her a deadly apple that will get rid of her for good.
The Queen knocks back a horrific potion and the room starts to spin round and round. Is she dying? Is the spell going wrong? But then her hands shrivel up and become boney. There's lightning! There's music! There's a shadow of a hooded old shrew on the wall! Slowly, she reveals her face from beneath her cloak and it's all so frightening that even a poor old crow leaps into an empty skull to hide from this terrible vision. – Dave Calhoun
Fight Club (1999)
Director: David Fincher
Cast: Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, Helena Bonham Carter
The unkindest cut of all
He's already lost his job, apartment, moral compass and most of his marbles. His larky little 'Project Mayhem' has mushroomed into a full-blown terrorist cell, his hipster doofus alter-ego has revolted and gone rogue and his girlfriend has just walked out on him. But now Edward Norton is about to lose the one thing that a man can never, ever hope to replace.
Held down by three burly policemen who have been instructed – by none other than his own other-self – to cut off his crown jewels as a symbol of martyrdom to the gods of fight club, he is locked into a Kafkaesque nightmare of his own making. Like 007 and the laser in 'Goldfinger', it seems there's no way out, and Fincher strings the scene out until every male viewer has tied themselves into knots of alarm, passed out or left the room. – Adam Lee Davies
Labyrinth (1986)
Director: Jim Henson
Cast: David Bowie, Jennifer Connelly, Danny John-Jules
Cool as a cucumber
The Excitement of David Bowie!' ran the trailer to Jim Henson's genial puppet fantasy-musical. Given the eye-wateringly snug collection of jodhpurs, leggings and codpieces he'd shoehorned himself into, there must have been plenty of '80s parents hoping the Thin White Duke didn't get too excited whilst cavorting through Muppetland.
But even though he kept his genie fully jeaned, many were nevertheless scarred for life by the 'Dance Magic Dance' sequence in which Ziggy – sporting kinky boots, leather waistcoat, jodhpurs and a riding crop – gets hideously jiggy with a gaggle of belching Viking sock-puppets and a clearly terrified toddler. All this and Tin Machine round the corner! – Adam Lee Davies
God Told Me to (1976)
Director: Larry Cohen
Cast: Tony Lo Bianco, Deborah Raffin, Sandy Dennis
The way of the gun
'Loopy' Larry Cohen remains one of America's sultans of schlock, but – like John Carpenter – his grungy genre work-outs carry incisive political barbs. 'God Told Me to' is a mad, hardboiled satire about extra-terrestrial religious cults in which a strange lizard-like creature takes hold of people's minds and orders them to kill in the name of the Lord.
The film opens on a young sniper taking potshots at a busy street, but it's a later scene where the startling reality of this act becomes clear. And it centres on an out-of-control policeman. Played by, um, Andy Kaufman. There's a police parade, and he just whacks out his pistol and opens fire. The scene is heady and amazingly choreographed. It encapsulates the gritty, street-level, in-the-moment style that characterised such '70s American classics as 'The French Connection' and 'Mean Streets'. It forces you to look twice to make sure it's not really happening. – David Jenkins
Halloween: H20 (1998)
Director: Steve Miner
Cast: Jamie Lee Curtis, Josh Hartnett, Michelle Williams
The knife man cometh
Is twentieth- anniversary cash-in 'Halloween: H20' a patch on John Carpenter's original? Hell, no. In comparison to that groundbreaking, genre-defining classic, 'H20' is a dithering minnow next to a ravenous pike. And yet… smack in the middle of the movie, after a fairly dull set-up establishing the new, witness-protected life of erstwhile Haddonfield resident Laurie Strode (Curtis) and before the film descends into screeching histrionics, there's a five- or six-minute chase sequence through the halls and grounds of an abandoned school which is close to perfect in construction.
It helps that Miner's cast includes superior teen stars like Williams and Adam Hann-Byrd, not to mention that he has Carpenter's original score to riff on. The result is a textbook nail-gnawer, all the more so for arriving in the midst of such an average stalk 'n' slasher. – Tom Huddleston
Zodiac (2007)
Director: David Fincher
Cast: Jake Gyllenhall, Robert Downey Jr, Mark Ruffalo
Down the wooden hill he goes…
Come on, Jake! A freaky old projectionist invites you down into the fusty basement of a house so big and creepy and oppressively old-timey that even Norman Bates would find it a bit dank and unnerving, and down you go!?! The fear, malevolence and inky-eyed madness that course through Fincher's dissection of a city under siege comes to a head in a scene that has its roots in the haunted-house horror tradition but ultimately has more in common with the fevered detective fiction of James Ellroy, wherein the fear in the dark is not of being hacked to pieces but of finding out something so terrible that you can never hope to un-know it. – Adam Lee Davies
Trouble Every Day (2001)
Director: Claire Denis
Cast: Vincent Gallo, Tricia Vessey, Béatrice Dalle
Fangs for the memories
Years before 'Let the Right One In' had critics slathering about the fact a vampire movie had been set in the Real World, France's Claire Denis had already scoped out that territory with this underrated, globe-trotting follow-up to her masterful 'Beau Travail'. Gallo plays a scientist on his honeymoon in Paris, but he's suffering from a strange condition which paralyses him with sexual desire. He happens across a women (Dalle) with an advance form of the 'disease', only she's at a level where she can only be satisfied by gnawing her sexual partners to death.
The climax of the film yields numerous look-away-from-the-screen incidences of flesh chomping, but the one in which Dalle turns the inexperienced Nicolas Duvauchelle into a bloody mash – photographed in Denis's customary super-fine and sensual detail – is certainly not one for the kiddies. – David Jenkins
Jurassic Park (1993)
Director: Steven Spielberg
Cast: Sam Neil, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum
If you can't stand the teeth, get out of the kitchen
Putting aside the unrealistic anthropomorphism of a prehistoric reptile with a tiny brain intelligently tapping its claw on a hard kitchen floor in an I-know-you're in-here manner, Spielberg's raptors-in-the-kitchen scene is terrifically tense. Part of the success of this sequence is down to the size of the dinosaurs, which are small enough to pursue little Lex (Ariana Richards) and Tim (Joseph Mazzello) between the stoves and shelves, yet strong and toothy enough to rip them both to shreds. The long shots also work well, giving us a wider perspective on the peril the youngsters are facing. – Derek Adams
The Hitcher (1986)
Director: Robert Hanson
Cast: Rutger Hauer, C Thomas Howell, Jennifer Jason Leigh
Chop-chop in the cop shop
We've all been there. A night out, a few misunderstandings and next thing you know you're waking up in a jail cell. After being forced into a series of cat-and-mouse road-games with deranged Dutch hitchhiker Hauer, it comes as a blessed relief to little C Thomas Howell to find himself safely behind bars. But this race isn't run just yet. A few hours' kip and he wakes to find the cell door ajar. The film, once again, has turned on a sixpence. Heart in his mouth, he slowly creeps out of the cell and through the police station in a scene of building suspense that recalls the heart-wracking tension of John Carpenter's finest hours. And what's that police dog licking up from that sticky red pool? Looks like Uncle Rutger wasn't too happy when he was told visiting hours were over… – Adam Lee Davies
Manhunter (1986)
Director: Michael Mann
Cast: William Petersen, Brian Cox, Tom Noonan
Feel the wrath of the Red Dragon
Michael Mann was the first to commit Thomas Harris's crime thrillers to celluloid. His intelligent adaptation of 'Red Dragon' still stands as the best Hannibal Lecter film to date, not least for Noonan's cleft-lipped serial killer, Francis Dollarhyde, who is still among the most terrifying of all screen butchers. The most memorable segment illustrating Dollarhyde's calm, calculated methods is when he rips the blindfold off a smart-ass tabloid reporter he has tied to a wheelchair and lets him see his shocking, half stocking-covered visage. Then he calmly sets him alight. Do you see? – Derek Adams

The 100 best horror films
Horror cinema is a monster. Mistreated, misunderstood and subjected to vicious critical attacks, somehow it keeps lumbering forward, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. For some, horror films are little better than pornography, focused purely on evoking a reaction. For others, they're just a bit of fun. Here are the 100 best horror films, as chosen by those who write in, direct, star in and celebrate the genre.
Users say
Saw the film years ago - the bit I will always remember is a young Jenny Agutter seducing one of the young lads. Was this her first film as an adult? One way or the other it was extremely erotic
I have to agree with the first comment. The last few minutes of [REC] are just terrifying. The film is just a build up for this end. It should have been near the top on this list.
Just thought of this scene and searched for a list that included it.... With the volume up while watching Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me I nearly had a heart attack from the screaming scene. I thought someone was crashing through my front door and jumped straight out of my chair. Good lord that scene scared and scarred me!
i guess this list is not confined to horror movies. some odd choices that 127 hours shouldnt be in there. but otherwise a good list. ringu would have been my number 1, followed by chest busting scene from Alien and final scene in Se7en.
In terms of creepiness, surely Salo or the 120 last days of Sodom should be here. The first time I watched, I had to walk away after 20 minutes. And then it only gets worse... And in terms of serious jolts, the moment the camera goes indoors in Lost Highway definitely did it for me...
Of course there's a difference between gross (Saw 1 to 23, Wolf Creek and countless films I'll never watch, except for the funny ones) and scary. And then there's the difference between "jump out of your seat scared" (the last scene of Carrie anyone?) and a growing, objectless unease (Innocence).
I grumble at the absence of The Descent.
Scariest bit in this whole list is Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, that whole film is twisted! - but as an adult I suppose it would be Fire Walk With Me. David Lynch is brilliant at scaring the wits out of me... I thought I was going to have a heart attack during Inland Empire. Bloody Hell.
@ AUDITION - I fell asleep before I could be scared! Such a boring film....
ha ha ha
oh cmon..it's disturbing rather than scary..it's just a very graphic torture scene.
The opening sequence in 28 Weeks Later when the cottage is besieged by rage victims and Robert Carlyle loses his nerve and escapes through the window abandoning his wife and the child to save himself, with the audience thinking to itself, 'yes, I would have done the same!'
Greg - 100% agree mate. Those were some truly terrifying minutes of my life. Also - Bowie in Labyrinth is all well and good - but if you want a really disturbing Henson movie, it;s The Dark Crystal every time. I was eight the first time I saw that, and the skeksis are still the most unsettling, grotesque creatures I have ever seen on film. Finally - for sheer nerve-tearing intensity - The Descent is hard to beat.
Interesting list with some surprises, however it just proves that what is regarded as terrifying is relative. Some classics included, however thousands omitted... The Shining, Them, Tale of Two Sisters to name just 3 quality skin-crawlers.
Audition is gross and disturbing, but not so scary. It sags under a pretentious, heavy handed dime store psychology revenge explanation. If one wants to be disturbed, why not just open a history book? Ringu... much more clever and original, dare I suggest bettered by the remake, even if it clearly owes something to Cronenberg's Videodrome. And where is Dead Ringers on your list?
Did NONE of you see [REC]?? A "Scariest Moments" list without the last minutes of [REC] is not a proper list, indeed...

Highest grossest movies
WTOP's Movie Critic Jason Fraley
Jason Fraley, WTOP film critic
WASHINGTON - Smack dab between "The Amazing Spider-Man" opening on July 3 and next week's launch of "The Dark Knight Rises" lies the height of the summer blockbuster season.
If February is a time to award the rare "art" of cinema, mid-July is a time to celebrate the popular favorites, the popcorn flicks, the blockbusters. The term, quite literally, describes those films that "bust the block" with lines starting at the box office ticket window and stretching around the block.
The biggest movie blockbusters of all time, in terms of sheer dollars, are rated based on the amount they grossed. "Avatar" (2009) leads the pack followed by "Titanic" (1997), "The Avengers" (2012) and "The Dark Knight" (2008).
All four are from the last 15 years.
But those stats can be deceiving.
When you adjust for inflation, the only fair way to compare different eras, "The Dark Knight" falls to No. 29 while "The Avengers" falls to No. 26.
To see which movies comprise the top 25, check out the gallery for a look at those films that have truly put the most butts in the seats. The results may surprise even the biggest movie fans.
GALLERY: Top 25 Biggest Movie Blockbusters
The movie blockbuster has been an evolving, popcorn-munching beast, requiring a special recipe to capture mass audiences. Many have tried. Many have flopped. And while most will not show up during Oscar season, they allow us a dark, air- conditioned escape from the sweltering "dog day afternoons" of summer, and a warm gathering place to huddle together during the cold of winter.
D.W. Griffith invented the notion of the blockbuster with his three-hour epic "Birth of a Nation" (1915). Soon after, Charlie Chaplin launched the highest grossing summer hit of the silent era, making Roaring '20s audiences roar with laughter in "The Gold Rush" (1925).
Ironically, many of the films we think of as the masterpieces of Hollywood's Golden Age did not draw big crowds. "The Wizard of Oz" (1939) was dwarfed by "Gone With the Wind" (1939). "Citizen Kane" (1941) was slandered by newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst. "Casablanca" (1942) suffered because the entire male population was fighting in World War II, and "It's a Wonderful Life" (1946) was not appreciated in its time.
Hitchcock upped the ante with "Psycho" (1960), literally locking the theater doors after the start of the movie to prevent audiences from arriving late, as they so often did in the days of serials and double features. He also put up signs warning audiences not to spill the film's secrets, creating additional buzz that would be impossible in the era of internet spoilers. Attendees say the screams were so loud during the shower scene that you couldn't hear Bernard Herrmann's slashing violin score.
After a decade of "sword and sandal" epics like "The Ten Commandments" (1956), "Ben-Hur" (1959) and "Spartacus" (1960), "The Graduate" (1967) convinced studio execs that blockbusters could be targeted to a younger audience using more dangerous directors and risque themes.
The modern blockbuster can be traced to one line, "You're gonna need a bigger boat." Steven Spielberg's "Jaws" (1975) was the perfect summer blockbuster, with its Amity beach setting, endless thrills and imitable tune that could be repeated to scare your sister during a family beach vacation.
For an entire generation, Spielberg and friends George Lucas and Robert Zemeckis would carry the blockbuster mantel, turning out "Star Wars" (1977), "The Empire Strikes Back" (1980), "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (1981), "E.T. The Extra Terrestrial" (1982), "Return of the Jedi" (1983), "Back to the Future" (1985), "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" (1988), "Jurassic Park" (1993) and "Forrest Gump" (1994).
Each step has created priceless movie memories. Tom Hanks recalled his while accepting the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award, describing how he "paused mid-air" with a piece of popcorn while watching "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (1977).
Tom Cruise took a similar approach with his opening monologue for the first post- 9/11 Oscars.

New Apple TV revealed by the FCC is not smaller and only includes minor component changes
Yesterday, the FCC published details on a new Apple TV that appeared to be smaller than the current Apple TV third generation. This information led to widespread speculation that a new model of Apple TV was about to arrive with new features too. Unfortunately it appears that this is not the case, the dimensions will remain the same but the internal components will be subject to just minor changes. The Verge managed to get a statement from Apple to explain the confusion.
We sometimes make component changes which require an updated model number for regulatory approval. The component changes we made don't affect product features and Apple TV customers will continue to have the same great user experience.
It had been rumored that the internal component change could be the addition of the A5x processor; before we will know if this is the case, we will have to wait for someone to crack one open and take a look inside as Apple is not giving out any more details. Either way, the experience and look of this updated Apple TV will be exactly the same as it was before.

The gaming potential of the A5X SoC is enticing.
@Tre Apple just announced one of their best quarterly earnings ever. I don't know how you get stagnation at all if we're reigning thing in from the context of reality.
