14) The Woman in the Bathtub (The Shining, 1980)

The woman in the bathtub is disturbing because she tricks you into letting your guard down. At first, she looks young and beautiful, and her slow steps toward Jack feel seductive. Then her body changes, and she becomes a rotting, sagging corpse covered in sores. The scariest moment happens when she starts laughing, and her cracked skin and hollow eyes make her look less human with every second. Lia Beldam played her youthful form, and Billie Gibson played her decaying version. Their contrasting performances make the transformation feel sudden and impossible to stop watching.
