Oh, the chest defibrillator one is definitely a jump-out-of-your-own-skin moment.
Eeh! Did you offer to show him the whole movie after that?
Carpenter says something to that effect in this interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0FhSHqGg74). The creature could not be just one creature to be scary, it had to be a mix of everything it had ever imitated. I'm trying to think of another monster that was equally scary and coming up empty. The wrongness of its misplaced organs, some of them recognizable, some not, is what makes it so utterly disturbing.
