Not a scary movie, but "Stand By Me". I swear the scene with the dead kid traumatized me when I was about 10. I don't know why. I avoid everything having to do with that movie because of that one scene. I just can't bring myself to watch it even as an adult. I literally broke into a sweat once because someone was watching the movie in another room and I was afraid I'd see it by accident.
What the....? Lol, seriously? Interesting. Actually, that movie provided me with one of my biggest laugh sessions, when he was telling the story about the blueberry pie eating contest & calling the big kid Wide Load. I don't know why, but when I first saw that I laughed til I cried. I know, it's hurtful but I couldn't help it.
The Ring & The Grudge traumatized me. As for newer films, The Conjouring was very good. That was the first time I got a little spooked watching a horror movie by myself in a long time.

I think his name was Lard Ass.
Yes, I'm dead serious. I've seen plenty of scary movies, but that dramedy is what had that kind of effect on me the most. Not to say true horror movies didn't because they did, but there's just something about that dead kid.
The Shining--just the thought of your Dad/husband turning into a psycho and trying to kill you was terrifying. Burnt Offerings (Karen Black!) and The Amityville Horror (James Brolin losing it!) are close seconds. I read the Amityville book and then couldn't even look at the book cover! I had to hide the book so I wouldn't be reminded. Helter Skelter was another scary one for me because it's based on a true story. Man, now that I think of it---there are plenty of movies that were scary for me.
(LOL at the person above who mentioned the wrestling scene in Borat! hahaha!)
The Shining and The Amityville Horror (1979 version). Both movies were very subtle in their scares and were not over the top garbage like a lot of modern day horror movies.
The Vanishing. The original Dutch version - not the completely altered American version.
It is a slow-moving, creepy "thriller", where you wonder the whole movie.... what happened to the young woman? Where did she disappear to? Is she alive? Dead? Who is this odd man that the movie keeps following...? What is going on?
And then the last scenes, where you discover what happened to her.... psychologically, one of the most disturbing, scary moments for me I have experienced.
I was a lover of horror movies as a child and saw them all. But this one stuck with me the most. The horror of people, and what they can potentially do.... that is truly scary.

I've heard the Dutch original is much better than The Vanishing. It's actually open in another tab for me to watch when I have a bit of time for a movie. I already know I will want to watch in one sitting.

Lard Ass Hogan, but they did call him other names, including Wide Load. If I remember correctly, that came from a bunch of teenagers. The old guys cracked me up, though. "BOOM ba ba BOOM" Heh.

Agreed... it was great. The even did a good job with the limited appearance of the Annabelle doll. I'm looking forward to Conjuring 2 next year.

I give Conjuring a 10... Annabelle a 7. It wasn't bad and had a few good scares but overall Conjuring was much better. Spinoffs usually aren't as good and I didn't expect it to be.
On a side note....
It's easy to see why they changed the doll's appearance for the movies. Raggedy Ann just isn't scary... or is she? LOL
Going to see the Warren's museum in CT is on my bucket list now...

I liked them both. The original was definitely the scarier of the two.
I've been to the location of the abduction in the American version.... it's a gas station right off I-90 in North Bend, WA. It's was kinda cool... parking my car in the exact same spot the Keifer and Sandra parked the red jeep when she went into the store. LOL
