re: First movie that ever scared the hell out of you?

Poltergeist, the scene where the clown doll grabs to kid from under the bed. I was somewhere around 6-8 years old when I watched it over at a friend's house on cable. I had this creepy arse clown painting that hung next to my bed, but I never noticed how freaky that painting was until I saw that scene. The messed up thing was that my mom refused to take the painting down. That screwed with me for a little while.
