10 More Horror Movie Shots That Will Send A Chill Down Your Spine

10. The Doctor Will See You Now - House On Haunted Hill (1999)

A remake of the 1959 film of the same name, William Malone's House on Haunted Hill sees a group of strangers offered $1 million each if they can survive the night in the long-abandoned Vannacutt Psychiatric Institute for the Criminally Insane.

One such stranger is Melissa Marr (Bridgette Wilson), a former TV star desperate to get her hands on this cash and boost her star power. And when our group split up to explore this old asylum, it's Melissa who has the most startling encounter of the entire movie.

With a camcorder to hand, Melissa, looking through that item's viewer, finds a doctor and two nurses operating on some unfortunate fella. Immediately assessing this scene through her own eyes rather than through the camcorder, Wilson's character can only see an empty, dusty, cobweb-ridden operating table.

Upon looking back through the camcorder, though, Melissa not only once again sees these ghoulish figures, but in spine-tingling fashion, the doctor and nurses slowly turn to stare at Melissa, making her fully aware that they're watching her.
