While I agree with The Shining and The Exorsist, I don't think I was ever so frightened by a movie as I was when I was 11 and watched Salem's Lot. That movie had me sleeping with the lights on for weeks. Scared the shit outta me. My parents took my TV out of my room for months because of it.
On the bright side though, I don't think I would have discovered Stephen King without having seen that movie. The guy is a horror genius.
