Don't Be A Scaredy Cat And Match These Horror Scenes To Their Movies!

Scaredy cats beware - this horror movie quiz is not for the faint of heart. If you've never seen the movies they belong to, you might be introduced to new levels of fear from the stills alone. If you have seen them, then you'll be reliving these scenes as you go through each entry. Either way, you'll need a great deal of courage in order to make it till the end, and that's not something scaredy cats tend to carry in abundance.

We'll have to see your final result in order to determine whether or not you're brave at heart. However, because you've decided to try this thing out, we can at least determine that you're courageous enough to put yourself to the challenge. Even if you end up clicking the X button before the end, kudos to you for trying.

Of course, passing this quiz with flying colors is better than merely showing up. If you can manage it, then you have the certification to call yourself a true horror movie buff. If not, you might have to brush up on your thriller trivia - unless you're a scaredy cat, that is. Can you match these horror scenes to the movie?

Question 1

Where's this scene from?

Oh boy, it looks like a psychopath is up to no good. Whoever he's peering at through this door that's been forced ajar, we definitely wouldn't want to be in their shoes. This is one of the many classic scenes found in this horror gem, and it's definitely a title every buff of the genre should have under their Watched list. We know that matching this scene to the movie is scary, but you can do it if you find your inner courage.

Question 2

Where's this scene from?

We thought that last scenario was stressful, but we'd probably take it in a heartbeat over the one pictured here. At least the prior entry had some hope in it - this one shows no glimmer of light at all. This characters options are: bend to the twisted rules of your captor or pass on from this world horrifically. The problem is just how twisted those rules are. Just take a look at what's happening in this scene, and match it to the movie.

Question 3

Where's this scene from?

This scene is too creepy to even look at - err, at least that's what we'd say if we weren't brave soldiers of the horror genre. Since we are, we'll just reference it courageously for a while before sprinting on to the next question. This little girl might seem like she's innocently - albeit creepily - playing with a puppet on strings, but just wait for the jump scare that happens soon after this shot. Yeesh - where's this scene from?

Question 4

Where's this scene from?

It's a guy with a hockey mask, and he looks like he's walking around and up to no good at all. Maybe he's just an amateur hockey player walking home after a game... with a spike in his hands. If you see this kind of hockey player on the street - the one wielding a pointy thing - better run away before you find out what he's up to. Just watch the movie he's from if you want to see for yourself.

Question 5

Where's this scene from?

Yep, here's another unfortunate situation. A poor lady is about to get seriously harmed or even worse, and it looks like it's about to happen right after this picture was taken. Or, does she get saved at the last second? You'd know if you did your homework on this one, though admittedly it's some pretty traumatic homework. This villain thrives in dreams, but he also tends to pop his head in the real world from time to time. Where's this scene from?

Question 6

Where's this scene from?

You never - ever - want to see this videotape. The mystery surrounding it is hard to resist, we know, and of course, the video doesn't even exist in real life. We think... Anyway, this videotape scene within a movie scene is one of the genre's most iconic, so only total scaredy cats will have trouble getting it right. Hopefully you've seen the movie without experiencing the same side effects as some of the characters. Where is this scene from?

Question 7

Where's this scene from?

Now we have a totally different villain on our hands, one who seems much more prepared to seek and destroy scaredy cats. It'll take a real hero - no, a single person with the strength and courage of ten heroes - to stop this invasion from happening. Thankfully, one of those people was around during the intended first wave, and we got to see how that all played out. More difficult horror scenes lie ahead, so hopefully this one's a breeze.

Question 8

Where's this scene from?

The setup behind this scene looks to be quite minimal, though it's amazing what kind of effects can be produced from such sparse mise en scene. In fact, this entire film was shot on a super low budget, and made many, many times its initial investment in the box office. It also remains as one of the most horrifying movies of the film genre. If you've seen it, you've surely never forgotten it. So where's this scary movie scene from?

Question 9

Where's this scene from?

You knew this little girl was up to no good all along, but you only got to learn that for sure near the very end of the movie, when she had no choice but to reveal her true colors. Despite her appearance, this character is capable of unleashing real horror upon an unsuspecting family, and she had to be stopped at all costs. Only true horror movie buffs haven't allowed this gem to pass them by. Where's this scene from?

Question 10

Where's this scene from?

Here's another really creepy scene. Once again, we find ourselves looking at a situation we want no part in whatsoever. We wouldn't want to be the scared lady on the right, and we definitely wouldn't want to live our lives as a terrifying creature. Thankfully, we can watch from afar while being neither, and so can you. If you've ever seen this classic sci fi/horror movie from afar, then you should definitely recognize this scene. It's uncomfortable to look at, we know.

Question 11

Where's this scene from?

That's not just darkness in the picture - take a closer look, and you'll see the horror icon within. We hope you're never unlucky enough to catch this demon staring at you from the gutter on your walk home from school, otherwise things might start getting ridiculous and stressful very quickly. This movie is a recent release, but it made enough of an impact to reach you in one way or another. Look at the creeper in the picture, and match him to the movie.

Question 12

Where's this scene from?

Here, we have a taped scene within a famous horror movie. This one takes on a different swing than the last, which you'll know if you've seen the two. Notice the open door, and the horrified couple pointing to it. Does it look like that door is open in any sort of innocent way? No - it looks like it was flung open, perhaps by some invisible entity. Just thinking about it would give us the willies - if we were scaredy cats.

Question 13

Where's this scene from?

That's right - there's a little girl floating up off her bed toward the ceiling, and no one in the scene seems to be having fun about it. It's been a while since the movie pictured here was released, but we're sure that all buffs of the genre have this watch under their belts. It's a key bit of horror movie trivia to know what's going on in this scene, and of course to be able to match it to its movie.

Question 14

Where's this scene from?

This is a hideous horror movie creature if ever we've seen one. He seems to be squirming dynamically even through this static picture. Something tells us that, if we were in the same room with this fiend, it's best not to get too close to it - or to allow it to get too close to us. Even being around the picture is unsettling to some degree (not a great degree, of course), so let's choose an option and move on.

Question 15

Where's this scene from?

It's best not to judge a book by its cover. Despite how nightmarish this man might look, he may very well be a kind soul at heart who simply likes to wear a scary mask once in a while. That's completely possible, but isn't the case at all. Not one bit. If you wanted to give this fiendish man a try at friendship, you'd best do it through a phone call or chat box. Because if it were done in person, he might start chasing you.

Question 16

Where's this scene from?

No one wants to see Drew Barrymore scream - no one in the world, except the villain of this classic horror movie. He doesn't mind seeing Drew Barrymore or anyone else scream - in fact, that's the sort of reaction he's looking for. The villain in the glass reflection actually bases his activities on inducing screams in others, and that's not the way one should choose to live in our view. In your view, which movie does this scene belong to?

Question 17

Where's this scene from?

Could it be - are two classic horror movie villains facing each other down for an epic battle? Or is this a bizarre cosplay movie? Dig through your mental horror movie encyclopedia, and see if these two icons ever appeared alongside each other in a flick. If that's not working, try thinking about a famous movie that featured horror cosplay. Hard to come up with, right? Then you have your answer - unless you get fooled by one of the other options.

Question 18

Where's this scene from?

It's Jim from The Office telling everyone to hush up. If anybody makes too loud a sound, a monster will appear - or he says, but that's a hard thing to accept without proof. Of course, if you were in the movie and wanted proof, you could just disobey Jim and shout "Hip hip hooray!" when he has his finger to his lip like that, but that's be a risky way to experiment. It's best to just see the movie, and match this scene to it.

Question 19

Where's this scene from?

Now, that's a creepy stare if ever we've seen one. This horror movie villain looks like he's staring right into our souls, his eyes fixed on the source of our heartbeats. What's worse, he doesn't seem to respect the process of the heartbeat - in fact, if things were up to him, he'd rather end it than leave it undisturbed. Thankfully, incarceration leaves things up to his guards for the most part. But how competent are they? Only so competent.

Question 20

Where's this scene from?

Yup, it's a dingy basement with a lady strapped in a chair, just floating around. It's your typical horror scene of course, but this one is made a tad creepier by how well the sequence is set up. It might take a real movie buff to remember what movie this scene was a part of, especially if it's been years since your initial viewing. However, given how unique this sequence is, we're sure you won't have too much trouble. Will you?

Question 21

Where's this scene from?

This man looks horrified, and he should be. After all, he's the star of arguably the most frightening movie to come out in recent years. If it's not the scariest recent introduction to the horror genre, then it might just be the most unique and interesting. Either way, let's see if you can figure out where this scene is from. If you keep up with horror movies at all, then this one shouldn't cause you too much trouble. Does it?

Question 22

Where's this scene from?

In this scene, what should be a beautiful, coming of age event - a prom, specifically - turns into a horror show the likes of which can be scarcely described. Going into too much detail about it would be painful to type, but it would also give the answer away, since the carnage exhibited in this horror flick is quite unique and specific. What we can tell you is that this film is a remake of its 70s original, which was based on a Stephen King novel.

Question 23

Where's this scene from?

It looks like there's absolutely nothing going on in these streets. A lot of garbage, sure, but no people at all. There's no one except this guy right here, and he seems as confused as we are as to what's going on. Of course, you might not be so confused if you happened to see the movie this scene comes from. Since it had quite the impact on the culture when it was released, chances are that it didn't slip you by.

Question 24

Where's this scene from?

In this scene, we're looking at a certain children's book that tells a story about a certain horror movie monster. Just look at him there, hanging down from the ceiling with his horrible top hat, raining down a storm of terror on this poor little boy. If you think this is disturbing to look at in picture book form, wait till you see what actually happens in the movie! Or maybe you did, and you're already on to the next question.

Question 25

Where's this scene from?

Uh oh - this is definitely not good. Even if this scene wasn't super familiar based on how iconic it is in the history of cinema, our instincts tell us that it's a bad situation to be in. You definitely don't ever want to be looking at a person holding this exact pose in front of you, especially when you're about ready to get out of the shower. If you've seen this one, you'll know exactly how scary it is.

Question 26

Where's this scene from?

This boy is horrified, and that he should be! If ever you think your life is tough, try walking a mile in his shoes and see the world how he does. It's not a pretty place, to say the very least, mostly because he's able to see dead people all around him, almost all the time. Things can get pretty freaky with an additional sense like that, as you can probably imagine. Let's see if you know where this scene is from.

Question 27

Where's this scene from?

This movie happens to be by the same director as the last, and is also considered one of his greatest hits. Thankfully so, since this director fell off the glory wagon for a number of years following this film's release, with several sub par titles. Thankfully, he seems to have gotten his act together with recent features, and we always have old classics like this one to look back on. If you're a horror movie buff, you know this one for sure.

Question 28

Where's this scene from?

That's right - this crazy looking man is holding a chainsaw, and he's looking right through the camera. You might have the impulse to turn around and run away, but let's not forget that a whole, real world separates you from this fictional villain. The same can't be said for the poor victims existing in this film's story, and you definitely know how their stories end if you've seen this horror classic. What movie is this super scary scene from?

Question 29

Where's this scene from?

Once again, as tends to be typical of several horror flicks, we have a lady strapped to a chair in a dingy setting. However, while things look quite familiar on the surface, context is what distinguishes this scene from the conventional thriller. These two characters seem to be looking at something approaching them from a distance, and something tells us this new arrival is not exactly wanted - by anyone. Let's see if you can figure out where this scene is from.

Question 30

Where's this scene from?

If we were actual scaredy cats, then this scene might have been too much to even look at. It's something about the boy's complicit face underwater, though it's mostly the clenched fist that has him by the hair. We're not sure if we know what's going on in this scene, or if we even want to know. Maybe you have an encyclopedic knowledge of horror movies, in which case you'll know all about it. Is this a scene from Hansel and Gretel?

Question 31

Where's this scene from?

Although Michael Pitt is presumably a lovely person in real life, you never want him and his quiet buddy to pay you a visit in the fictional world this character resides in. In the world we live in, Michael Pitt is Brad Pitt's nice brother, but over here, he's a psychopath willing to terrorize a family in order to have a casual, fun time. It's hard to watch, and hard to think about really. What movie is this scene from?

Question 32

Where's this scene from?

Kevin Spacey is a prisoner in the back of a police car, and you know what that means. Well, not necessarily - you only know if you're enough of a horror movie buff to have this title under your belt. The movie this scene belongs to happens to transcend the horror movie genre, earning critical acclaim and a bunch of money for its encapsulation of drama and adventure. In the end, though, things get pretty horrifying. What movie is this scene from?

Question 33

Where's this scene from?

You've done well so far to make it here. Scaredy cats usually tend to click the big X button by now, but since you're almost at the end of the quiz, you might have some real courage in you after all. Well, the only way to find out for sure is to keep going to the end. This next scene shows some clear distress, and if you happened to see the movie it's a part of, then you'll definitely know the source of the panic.

Question 34

Where's this scene from?

What's better than one Jake Gyllenhaal? Two Jake Gyllenhaals of course - what else could be? Well, we suppose it's not a good thing if a second, much more evil Jake Gyllenhaal appears out of the blue to mess with the former one's life. If you aren't into art house horror flicks - or Jake Gyllenhaal masterpieces - then this title might have easily slipped you by. You didn't think things would be so easy near the end, did you?

Question 35

Where's this scene from?

Yeesh. That's one freaky looking guy hanging around behind that boy's shoulder. It looks like the setup for a proper jump scare if you ask us. If you saw this one in theaters along with the rest of us, then you had the chance to engage in the communal shock wave typically received by the movie's devoted audiences. It's a remake of an older classic, and this one happens to be just as scary. One more time, match this scene to the movie.
