Tex's corpse

...the facial expression that nylon bag over his head responsible for the suffocation gave it, to be exact : scary as hell. And I don't get scared by movies. Not that "I don't easily get scared" - I simply DON'T.
(...it actually was way off-beat, considering the rest atmosphere of the movie. The other 2 deaths that preceded this one, were given in a kinda "subtle" way. Even Gideon's bloody appearance lasted for only a fraction of a second and was not on a camera close-up. Anyway, "Tex's" image gave me the shivers and I did not expect it to be like that at all...).

Been wondering if others felt like that too.

All the corpses looked creepy when they were shown. The killer sure was evil, and the director did a good job of getting that across to the audience. No wonder Audrey Hepburn's character was scared to death!
