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.

Witness - I was about the same age as the kid in the movie. I'm still sketched put in Airport/train/bus station bathrooms.
Saw Backdraft when I wasn't supposed to. Still have to have the door closed to sleep.
Should always sleep with the bedroom door closed. Can provide just enough protection to give you time to escape out a window. Or, be rescued from the window.
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.

But really just the commercials on TV.
Really showing my age here.
I can't really remember why but I never wanted to watch Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer again after seeing it once. I just googled it and it could be the Ice-Queen that's in there that I didn't like but I'm not sure.
Jurassic Park (original) on the big screen.
Jeepers Creepers
I can still the remember the little jingle
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
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.
Haunting in Connecticut. Iโm from Connecticut.
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.
Fantasia, not specifically the Night on bald mountain section, but the bits with the orchestra.
Also a TV series in the UK called Mealstrom. The paintings would come to life, which was ok but the intro was creepy AF https://youtu.be/_FwP5LAXd7U
Body Snatchers (1993)
The OG Invasion of the Bodysnatchers. I was like, 6? Spent weeks looking under the bed for pods.

Came here to also say third scene of Trilogy Of Terror
Night of the living dead. My brother and I rented it when I was about 7 I think. Didn't make it more than 10 minutes into that movie and I was begging him to turn it off.
