Grinding the Stream: 101 ACTUAL Scariest Movie Moments Viewing Companion – Part 1

My original plan was to save this until the end, but (one of) you requested a companion list to go along with Patrick and I's 101 ACTUAL Scariest Movie Moments four part podcast series and I realize others may want to use our selections to fill out their Spooky Season watch lists.
