The Strangers. I lived in a house similarly isolated with a sliding glass door just like the one in the movie where she moves the curtain and heβs right there staring in.
Superman III
Horror never really faced me, but the Lavender Town urban legend, Squidward's Suicide and Sonic.exe all scared me shitless to the point, that these made more religious.
Shutter, but the original Thai version.
For years after watching it I needed to make sure I was holding the bottom of my blanket with my legs all night long. Damn..
Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I had a room in a very messy basement at the time, in the dark it looked very similar to the one in the movie.
Not scared shitless, but a mix of being scared and disgusted, maybe even slightly traumatized? :D I stumbled into an adult watching this, and had a look at it when I was honestly too young for this shit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjZ7Cb5WDLM

Schindler's List. Saw plenty of scary movies before this, but that scene where the officer murders the engineering prisoner who's just trying to tell him about a problem with the building. It just sticks in my mind to this day as maybe the first time my young, sheltered self had been confronted with a realistic example of what dehumanizing could do.
For me it was Poltergeist 2. That really scared the shit out of 9yo me π
Not a movie, but a 'feature length music video'. Michael Jackson's Thriller scared the ever living shit out of 5 or 6 year old me.
The Tripods was a TV series that traumatized me!
Something was on TV and I have no idea what it was nor do I care to try to find it. Someone was in the hospital and transformed into some sort of monster while the nurse was out of the room and when she came back in it reached out from under the hospital bed and ripped her fucking leg off. I'd never had thoughts about monsters under the bed before but after that I always jumped as far away from the edge of the bed as possible when I got out.
Child's Play. I was, like, 5? when I watched it. A lot of my toys ended in my older sister's room because I couldn't stand them, I was afraid that they'd chase me.
SAW
The Stephen King movie Silver Bullet. I have always really liked but been freaked out by werewolf movies and something about Everett McGills performance as the priest mixed with the usual stalking of the wolf really spooked me.
When I was quite a bit younger, The Mask freaked me right out. On top of the Goosebumps episode about a mask overtaking you, I straight up refused to put any on for the longest time. Still don't love them.
The start of the Goofy Movie, during Max's dream...those dark vibes hit me hard. Would wait in the bathroom until it was done.
The Ring was a big one because my "friend" called and did the whole "seven days..." thing. Before we had caller IDs. The same friend made me watch Darkness Falls, and I think I repressed it all because I remember nothing about it other than hating the whole experience.
Not much of a scary movie fan to this day. Go figure.
Came here to also say third scene of Trilogy Of Terror
I remember being scared during the Ewok movie (Caravan of courage) in particular the dog things chasing them and having them hide out inside a tree, and the giant really freaked me out as a kid
Jurassic Park (original) on the big screen.
Virus with Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Sutherland scared the shit out of me when I was young. Seeing mangled humans turned into cyborgs on that ship lost at sea was terrifying.
I used to watch old B-movie horror on Saturdays in the 70's.
This one, which is completely ridiculous, scared the hell out of me because of the disembodied alien hand crawling around attacking people.
I was too young to realize how stupid it was, and it just absolutely terrified me. The hand became the monster under the bed for the rest of my life.
