Creepiest part for you….

The whole movie experience had an unworldly eeriness about it. The black and white cinematography was exceptional, and it was, in my memory the first to use sound, to get a chilling effect. The walk in the park when all background sounds disappear. Chilling. The organ music turning hellish as the camera dwells on the stained glass window showing the devil cast down. The Haunted pavilion was magnificent, so forlorn in the middle of Nowhere. Been many years since I've seen it,when the mood strikes, I wouldn't mind viewing it again.

The first two times the man appeared, it was scary, but soon it got repetitive. But by the time she got to the first "silent" section, the action had picked up again. I thought the final twist was a tad predictable, as was the part where the Doctor with his turned back was the man. I love how she often just stood around for a while, would stare at the man for five seconds, and THEN scream and run away.
But my favorite scary parts would have to be when she tries to board the ghost bus. I was expecting to see the man as the bus driver, but not a whole bus full of zombies! However, I have to give the grand prize to her date with the neighbor. After they go to her room, and she sits down at the vanity, feels his hand on her shoulder, and looks in the mirror only to see the ghost-man, with the neighbor standing no where near her! Downright brilliant. Great movie. -

I agree the ending is VERY creepy. But I also am creeped out
big time
by the scenes where the souls come up out of the water and grin slowly at the camera. They look so much like they are grinning..at US!
shudder

"Didn't he discover America?"

Agreed - wicked soundtrack. Something very eerie about organs.
Scariest part - first time you see the ghostly/zombie face in the window of her car. Seen some pretty nasty films in my time but this really stuck with me -

It was a very low-key moment, but when she was driving across country and lost all reception on her radio. She kept trying to change the channel, but nothing would work - we just kept hearing that disturbing, atonal organ music instead of the happy, peppy music she'd been listening to before. I know that would REALLY bother me if it happened to me - that feeling of being all alone, and ordinary things are behaving strangely and you don't know why, but it just hints at all sorts of scary things approaching.
Flat, drab passion meanders across the screen!
