The first scary movie I remember watching as a kid was Jaws. I was about 5 years old, and having been born and raised in land-locked Montana I had no real concept of the ocean. However, that shark made me have nightmares for weeks and my mother had to coerce me into taking baths as I was scared the shark would come up the drain pipe. And forget about getting me near a swimming pool.
After that, I saw more scary movies, The Exorcist, The Shining, Hellraiser etc, but none of them effected me like Jaws.

Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
Yes, JAWS! I'm still afraid of the water to this very day. Damn you, Spielberg!
What's bred in the bone will not out of the flesh.
Stephen Kings' "Misery" got to me, I have been afraid of fat women with books ever since.
Yes, I was really scared of Jews too. What with their world-domination plans, crooked noses, and unqueshable thirst for money, I thought I would never sleep peacefully again.
But then I grew older, and realised that Jews are not so bad. Bagels are nice, those little hats are funny, and they tell funny Jewish jokes.

I watched Night of the Living Dead when I was 8. For years after that I was frightened to walk outside by myself for fear that zombie's were lurking in the shadows waiting to taste my brains.
To this day when I walk around at night, I still look over my shoulder a lot.

Saw and Saw II and I don't want to see Saw III.
Not the movie so much as the twisted minds of the freaks that came up with the concept. I do not ever want to meet them.

The original Night of the Living Dead still gives me the chills. Hostel wasn't a spooky ghost movie but it did creep me the fUck out.
Ok.. fine I'll admit it. I'm scared of Dinosaurs. Jurassic Park had me waking up with nitemares for about 2 weeks. I hate that movie.
Alien did it for me. Hell, I didn't even finish the movie last time I tried to watch it. It probably didn't help that everybody else that lived in the house was out of town that night, and I was watching it in the dark.

I checked my shoes, shower, and sheets every night before I went to bed for a week after watching this movie.
Also when I was really little I was scared of the movie Mr.Boogedy

When Poltergeist came out, I was a 3 year old little girl with straight, shoulder length, platinum blonde hair and blue eyes. My mother had nightmares for weeks, hahaha.

Aliens (the sequel), was the scariest movie for me for a long time. The part where the equipment shows that the thing should be in the room and it's not and then they look up at the ceiling and the guy slowly pushes up the ceiling tile with his gun...gah, even though I know what's going to happen, haha, gets me every time.

I've never been a fan of scary movies. If I wanted to be scared, I'd just ride the bus or go to market. I tried watching The Exorcist by hiding behind the couch once when my brother snuck out of bed late one night to watch it, but he knew I was there and told me thatI didn't really want to watch it, because this movie would "fuck me up". I was nine, so I totally believed him.
I couldn't even watch the beginning of The Hulk series without getting scared.

Ya Alien scared me the first time I saw it, but then I was only 11 when it came out. I think it was the face-hugger flying out of the egg onto John Hurt's face that freeked me out the most.

My youngest got the trilogy on DVD for his 3rd birthday from my dad. He loves it.

Yep. You guessed it. Last year, my youngest again got the Jaws on dvd for his birthday. I swear my Dad is out to get me, but mybabyguy isn't afraid of anything and he knows what isn't real.
Gotta go with Alien as well. This movie freaked me out so bad, I had my eyes closed throughout most of it.
Yup, to this day I doubt I could sit through it with my eyes open all the way through.
Oh another one that had some scary moments for me was American Werewolf in London - funny movie but they had some really freaky shocking scenes in it. Let's just say I never developed a desire to eat rabbit...

Poltergeist. Ive seen it only once, when I was 4. My father forced me to sit down and watch it with him. You remember the clown doll that attacked the kid? Yeah, I had that in my room. Since then I loathe clowns with a passion.
I'd love to watch it again now that Im an adult, but as far as things that stick with me scarywise, that is hands down the one that stuck with me ever since.

I'm just a big weenie. I'm serious about Jurrassic Park. My BF's mom had to hold me down in my seat to keep me from running out of the theatre. Poltergiest didnt phase me so much. I refused to watch SAW, Aliens was another I refused to watch. For the most part unless its a comedy or a disney movie, I dont wanna see it.
After watching John Caprenter's remake of The Thing in the theater I slept in the middle of my bed wrapped up in my blankets for fear that one of the dog's tentacles would reach up and pull me under the bed.
The original Evil Dead. You know, before it got fun with the Boomstick in the sequels, and before the end, as the cheesy death scene of the book was just "How much blood can we throw on this poor kid?" Not that scary of a movie, but no one should ever EVER be raped by a tree. And they definitely shouldn't like it. Hell no! SO WRONG.
Child's Play was scary; I'm a youngster, so I saw it over a neightbor's house when I was like 6. Freaked me out for years. Eventually came to terms with the creepy memory of a killer doll, so there's no need for Freudian theories now, though.
This was an awesome movie. Creepy, yes, but really awesome. Alas, this movie spoiled every movie with a surprise ending forever for me. After watching it in Psychology class back in high school, I'm conditioned to be aware of twists.
The Ring was pretty scary. I'll admit I looked away when Samira's eyes were shown near the end. But that was the only part I didn't watch. It had great suspense in it, though. I actually thought it was a good movie. I watched Ringu afterward (the original Japanese movie), which everyone said was scarier. Maybe it was the chore of reading subtitles the entire time, but it just didn't freak me out as much as the American version, and the girl definitely wasn't scary.
Other than those, nothing really fazes me; Alien, Jaws, Poltergeist, the Shining; they never did anything for me. I've played so many Resident Evil and Silent Hill games that movies just tend to fall flat now!
