...the part in almost every horror (and particularly slasher) film that Roger Ebert calls the Whammo! Moment, in which the following kind of scene takes place: "Oh, boy, what's that rustling noise behind that plant over there? I'll just go look...ah, nothing there!" Then, about on the count of four, you get the Whammo! Moment, where Jason or Freddy or Chucky the doll leaps out and slashes a character to death. Anyone agree?
