To chime with our current obsession with all things Horror, we've put together a deliciously unpleasant list of the nastiest, most gut-spinning, all-out horrifying scenes in movie history.
WARNING! This feature contains some really, really unpleasant pictures and decidedly icky descriptions of horrible stuff happening.
If you have a dicky heart or a tricky tummy, approach with caution.
PLUS! Almost every entry has a video link. So take our challenge - see all the pics, read all the words, watch all the vids.
And then take a long, hot shower.
And, naturally, let us know the ones we missed in the Comments/on Twitter...

nice list! i've seen all of these movies except for "1984", and i think i'm a more complete person because of it! just add the home invasion scene from "henry: portrait of a serial killer" and the dead baby scene from "trainspotting" and you could bring the list to an even 30!

Fantastic list TF, you've really outdone yourselves with this one - some great films on the list! Personally I would add Pascal Laugier's Martyrs, but not a specific scene - just the whole running time. It really is a horrifying experience to sit through! Not the sort of film to watch on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

Loving the list guys! Although I didn't think Audition was too worthy of a top 10 contender. I've got to say I'm surprised the Head Bashing of Irreversible wasn't in there. But the Rape Scene totally outweighs that.

Great list... Nil By Mouth beating of the wife scene is always pretty hard to watch! would have thrown that in there.

great job on the list I would say the rape scene from the Accused still makes me feel nauseous and awful though. Also the ending of KIDS.

Definitely a good list of horrifying movie moments; I have seen a handful of them, and do plan to watch the rest. However I regret watching your video clip for Cannibal Holocaust; the scenes of animal torture have been removed from the DVD, luckily, and I wish I hadn't watched the turtle die...

Nice list - but where's the fire extinguisher scene from Irreversible? That scene is similar to the bottle scene in Pan's Labyrinth, but much much worse. (Or better, depending how you look at it.)

Anything with Tom Hanks!! He is the worst actor ever and he's pretty ugly too
