People often mention Hitchcock when discussing the master of horror, but Lang was head and sholders above, of you are just talking about bone-chilling creeping down your spine horror, and you are right, there are actually several moments in the M that define the ultimate gripping fear, like the scene with the open door with no one behind.

And I know I perhaps mention the SPR too often, but since to way too many it represents something that it simply ain't, I think the comparisson is valid and called for. SPR is desperately trying to be horrific, but is in fact nothing but unpleasant and just amateurishly silly in many spots.
