12 Scariest Movie Moments Of 2016
2. The Crooked Man Reveal - The Conjuring 2
The Conjuring 2 again, which despite being over two hours long never outstays its welcome. It has a few standout scares throughout, like the upside down crucifix scene or the firetruck toy sequence. One scene that really gets the spine all tingly comes near the climax, where Ed Warren is trapped in the house and comes across a spinning toy inside a tent.
This toy shows a little movie of the Crooked Man creature from earlier in the movie, but as it continues spinning the crooked man seems to vanish from it. Ed looks up in the confusion, to find the ghost smiling right at him.
Wan is fast becoming a master at misdirection, and this well-timed scare was pure nightmare fuel.
