Re: Alien Revisited: timing....a page from Hitchcock

Yes, I agree about "Alien", the pop-out scene is a classic, as is the
shower scene in "Psycho" (didn't go see the remake, how could anyone possibly improve on the Perkin's performance?); another classic scary
scene is the one in the original "The Haunting" where Claire Bloom(?) was
in the bed and the House came alive in the hallway and the big door starting breathing in and out and you know the rest...I think that was
about a 5 to 8 minute scene and it was chilling! I know there is a
remake out, I want to see it for the special effects, but I also know
that original scene will never be adequately replicated. Another scene
that scared the living daylights outta me was when Vincent Price raised
up off a table and a sheet slid off his face(he has a horrible mask on and
it was a fullscreen closeup shot) to scare a deaf and dumb woman in "The
Tingler" - really caught me offguard when I was 12 years old! - AH
