I don't remember why, but I do remember as a child I wanted to leave the theater during Jaws.
I also slept with the lights on for a few weeks after the scene in Friday the 13th, when the hand comes from under the bed and holds down kevin bacons head. The hands(or creatures) from under the bed scene in Phantasm was scary to me back then also.

The original "Halloween." Still scary.
"Jaws." Not so scary these days, but still a fantastic film that I'll watch whenever it's on.

Oddly enough, the two that scared me most as a little kid were ones later riffed by the Brains: The Green Slime and Squirm. The latter I saw in the 70's when I was about five, and the vision of the worms slithering up under the skin in Roger's face haunted me for years (the scene was cut from the MST version, precisely because of its ability to disgust and disturb). When M&TB did it as their penultimate episode, it instantly became one of my favorites.

My mom never let us watch any horror or sci fi movies when we were younger. (hence never seeing Star Wars) Road House? Animal House? Those were fine. The first 'scary' movies I saw, I was 12 or 13, and I watched Leprechaun, which made me laugh more than anything. But then I watched Stephen King's IT. That may have cemented my fear of clowns right there. To this day I get freaked out by that face. *shudder* Once when I was very young, my older brother was watching Born on the 4th of July, and the only part I saw, they had to leave a baby in it's dead mom's arms. I've never been able to watch that movie, probably never will. That one scene scarred me for life.

Frogs. Don't ask me why, but that flick freaked me out when I was a wee young one.

The rape scene with the imprisoned old beggar and the mute girl at the beginning of "Curse of the Werewolf" traumatized me for years.
My wife and I watched that film again last night (she got me the Hammer set for Xmas). Still a pretty disturbing sequence and a very good film--Oliver Reed was especially good in this one.

ET scared the hell out of me when I was younger. Still does. That glowing finger creeps me out.

"The Maze". I think that was the title. Creepy large frog-man monster, obviously a mutant, maybe an experiment gone bad. And he was in this garden with the large maze hedges. Something big and smelly and scaly and wet icky gooey..no thanks! Very frightening to this little wood-gatherer.

Surprised anyone knew about this little nightmare, Chuck, and glad I never saw it in 3-D. That and "Smell-O-Vision" would be horrible with this film!

The best version of "Smell-O-Vision" was John Water's Polyester. You got a Scratch 'N Sniff card!! One came with the DVD, too!! (Watch out for #2!!!!)
(By the way, I was raised at a theater and drive-in. Of course I saw every scary monster movie that came out!)

Amityville Horror terrorized me as a child. Those glowing pig eyes still get me. The movie itself is, of course, kinda lame and overlong and not really scary at all, but...
The theme of the movie is still creepy, and the spooky little kid music theme give the film more atmosphere that it really deserves. That music can still make my spine tingle a bit.
Poltergeist tripped me out even though I saw it about five thousand times. I still can't watch the face tearing off scene.

I mean it, Mike, I think I'm freaking out!

Jaws. I saw it in theaters when I was about 5 or 6. It scared the living poopie out of me. I still don't like water.
