I saw that in theaters when I was only 12. Slept with the TV on every night for always 4 years.
I was not 12 when I've seen it but the beginning of the movie freaked me out like I was 12! It got a bit cheesy later on but the beginning was ...scary!

I think No Country For Old Men is scary because it could happen in real life. I spend a lot of time out in the wilderness by myself and would totally do the same thing that Josh Brolin's character did.
A Nightmare on Elm Street back in the early 80s was very scary, I still remember those children singing off key while jumping rope. Only the 1st movie, not the sequels, or the new remake.
The Innocents, with Deborah Kerr, 1962, still my favorite, still scares me to death. I love the "corner of your eye" kind of scary, what is not seen is scarier than what is seen.
Well, except for Samara climbing out of the well, and through the front of the TV and then . . . jump . . . jump . . . jump forward with that face - ACK! I still get goosebumps just thinking about that (The Ring).
The Haunting is my other old favorite, the sounds, the breathing door, "who was holding my hand?!?"
Blair Witch, that last scene with the guy standing with his back to the camera . . . brrrrrr!
I also read The Exorcist first, so I knew what to expect in the movie and that softened some of the horror, but it still scared the bejeezus out of me.
Have to agree also with the mention of the Karen Black doll part of Trilogy of Terror - really creepy.
A couple other "Honorable Mentions" are a movie called Games with James Caan, Katherine Ross and Simone Signoret, and The Shuttered Room with Carol Lynley, Gig Young and Oliver Reed, both mid-sixties movies, creepy, wonder if they would hold up today.
"The Dark Secret of Harvest Home" was a fantastically spooky miniseries. The version they have on videotape (haven't seen it on DVD) has some scenes cut out of it, which annoyed me no end, but when I wrote to the company about it, they said it had something to do with certain rights not being signed or something. In any event, every scene that had one particular actor in it was deleted. Still a good film and it still has the scary elements.
"The Shining" is great, because you get to watch the metamorphosis of a seemingly normal man into insanity. Spooky.
I don't normally get scared by movies that often. But there is one which I can not stand, I.t - you know that steven king film with the clown, arghhhhh, I remember seeing it as a child and it scared the hell out of me. It was a tv a few weeks ago and I thought I should try and watch, I' all grown up now and thought it wouldn't scare me... how wrong was I?

The Ring, The Grudge. Japanese and Korean horror movies. Mothman Prophesies was creepy and atmospheric.
