In the world of horror, there always seems to be spooky goings-on around windows... whether you're peering out of them into the night, or something is peering back into them at you. I don't pretend to understand the pyschological underpinnings that make it so, but the fact is, if you want to make something seem just a little bit scarier, put a window in front of it.
Here's a collection of screen-caps from some of the spookier film moments involving windows. Even though this is only an exhibition, not a competition, I'll follow Unkle Lancifer's lead and post the film titles in the comments.

Man, that scene from Salem's Lot scared the sh@t out of me when I was a kid.
I knew that Salem's lot scene would be here as soon as I read the first part of the post.
That movie was pretty terrible, but it had some classic scenes and that is one of them.... now ... let me in, he commanded it.
Wow, wow and furthermore wow. These images are beautiful and I love the theme!
I knew you'd knock this meme out of the park Bill!-Unk
I love #6... Mitchum gets all the props, but Lillian Gish is the bigger bad ass in that movie.
