least expected welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’re counting down our picks
for the top 10 jump scares in non horror
movies and I’m scared like I can’t tell
you for this list we’re looking at jump
scares that were inserted into movies
generally considered not to be of the
horror genre meaning this was likely one
of the only scares in the whole movie
any genre other than war
is fair game we’ve chosen what we felt
to be the most effective jump scares and
based them on the intensity of the jump
if you didn’t see one that you thought
should be on the list be sure to check
out our video on the top 10 horror movie
jump scares
number ten hello Harry spider-man –
where are you we are at the Osborne’s
where Harry is obsessing over his late
father’s death and to search for his
killer it’s a dark and stormy night with
lightning and thunder in the distance
and while taking a drink on the balcony
the young man begins to hear loud noises
of mysterious origin as he slowly peers
over the ledge the camera pans over him
when suddenly a large metallic tentacle
pops up and grabs the drink out of the
Oscorp employees hand Doc Ock wants his
precious try diem and thanks to some
loud music and the help of his new
mechanical arms he makes a grand
entrance jolting us all awake in the
process
number nine Laura’s room twin peaks’
fire walk with me when you watch a David
Lynch film you know it’s gonna have some
freaky stuff this prequel slash sequel
to the television series chronicles the
final weeks of Laura Palmer’s life I’m
not kidding around who you would get
lost Bobby in this scene she comes home
hears a strange noise and goes to
investigate which results in the
discovery of killer Bob in her room
the moment is scary due to the silence
of the scene before it the tension
brought through Laura’s search and the
very loud reveal of Bob and then there’s
the idea of someone hiding in your
bedroom which is just downright freaky
uh number 8 car scene Harry and the
Hendersons Kevin my drawings back there
and don’t step on the trout this fantasy
comedy about a family finding bigfoot
and taking him home is a children’s
movie and a quite innocent one at that
but that doesn’t stop it from having at
least one good jump in this scene George
and his family have just hit an unknown
creature while driving home when
suddenly it comes alive and screams into
the windshield it’s a very unexpected
moment as we get no warning about the
creature waking up and the combination
of its sudden appearance the growl and
the sharp music all come together to
make us jump right out of our seats
along with the Hendersons
number seven alien in the window science
all initial opinions are this is genuine
what you’re about to see may disturb you
exploring the topic of aliens this
sci-fi thriller about an ex priest who
is convinced that extraterrestrials are
making crop circles in his field is
found to have at least one good scare
and it certainly delivers this scene
depicts a home shot birthday party in
which a green alien suddenly darhk’s
across the background the tension
throughout the rest of the film lets
audiences know that something is bound
to happen and the fact that this is
signs first true sighting of an alien
only adds to the horror of the moment
number six god-awful feeling
Mulholland Drive I had a dream about
this place
hey look it’s another David Lynch movie
this neo-noir mystery with its cryptic
narrative about an aspiring actress
features some terrifically surreal
scenes there’s a man and back of this
place those include this one in which a
person tells his friend about a dream he
had about a man behind the diner you
came to see if he’s up there
to get rid of this god-awful feeling
when they go to check it out
sure enough this jump-scare works to the
sheer confusion about the scene itself
our disbelief that there will actually
be anyone there and the appearance of
the mysterious figure with that creepy
music damn it David you got us again
number five Large Marge pee-wee’s big
adventure
it’s a children’s film so you can’t
expect any big scares no kanya ah well
it was directed by Tim Burton so yes
thanks for stopping this adventure
comedy follows pee-wee Herman as he
hitchhikes a cross-country to find his
stolen bike along the way he meets a
truck driver who changes into something
in a dense fog just like this I saw the
worst accident I ever seen this scene
builds in tension but it’s the scare
itself that was so effective her face is
so unexpectedly frightening and the fact
that it’s directly aimed at the camera
makes it seem like a personal attack
didn’t already freaky scene and looked
like this number four hanging around the
dark night tada
the second installment in Christopher
Nolan’s Batman film series depicting the
famous Dark Knight battling the Joker in
Gotham has its share of disturbing
sequences wanna know what cut piece card
it is this scene though where the mayor
asks dent if he wants to be the city’s
target that gets our vote for the
freakiest they’re all gonna come after
Yuna and not just the mob just after
looking out the window the mayor is
surprised to see a figure resembling
Batman banging on the window with a
noose tied around his neck it’s
completely unexpected and the loud music
the otherwise silent scene makes this
moment even more startling
number three the power of the Ring the
Lord of the Rings the Fellowship of the
Ring he taking taking the precious has
some terrifying powers in this scene
from the first Lord of the Rings movie
Bilbo asked his nephew Frodo to see his
old ring one last time huh I agree
however as we know the ring has some
drawing power we quickly find out that
Bilbo isn’t actually all that ready to
let it go so as soon as he reaches for
it his face turns to monic in the
process the scare is elevated by the
peaceful quality of the proceeding seat
and the loud screeching sound that comes
with very little warning it also doesn’t
help that what Bilbo’s face turns into
is downright terrifying number two back
in business
Jurassic Park welcome
to Jurassic Park this movie is about
dinosaurs that have been brought to life
through genetic cloning and as a result
they’re also hunting humans so you just
know that there’s gonna have to be a
little bit of freaky stuff in this scene
Ellie is overjoyed that the power is
back on when suddenly bilasa Raptor the
moment comes at a time of joy so the
scare is that much more impactful and
unexpected I think we’re back in
business running away she finally thinks
she’s found safety when mr. Arnold
appears but in actuality it’s mr. Arnold
that needs a hand get it and if that’s
not enough another Velociraptor appears
right away it’s a 1-2-3 punch of scares

mentions
festro me number one
sloth wakes up 707 bit listens captain
this psychological thriller in which a
pair of detectives follow a serial
killer whose MO is to kill based on the
seven deadly sins as its fair share of
very disturbing moments

reeling here the victim representing
