Event Horizon - watched that one in college and it still freaked me out.
Same here. Not sure I could watch that movie even today.
As for the childhood:
Friday the 13th, Twilight Zone (the movie), Twilight Zone (the black and white series), Poltergeist, Jaws

There was an episode of Twighlight Zone that messed me up for a good while.
I didn't see the original, but the Twilight Zone movie segment with John Lithgow on the airplane really got to me as a kid.

I was more of an adolescent, but the Ring was the last movie that scared the shite out of me. For 7 days I was on edge

The Shining scene during twister. Id argue its scarier than the Shining

I don’t like horror movies as a genre but these movies contained scary parts that stay with me to this day.
Poltergeist - Not so much with digital now but back in the day, static and snow would not remain on the TV for longer than 5 seconds. Less time if I were in the immediate vicinity of the box
Cujo - I don’t have a fear of St. Bernards, but I assume every bat I see has rabies
Children of the Corn - “He wants you too, Malachi” will always enter my mind when I pass a corn field.
Silver Bullet - Probably one of the very, very few scary movies that I’ve watched multiple times from beginning to end. Not overly traumatic, but I always take a deep breath and enter with slight trepidation a wooded or marshy area with low hanging fog.
Christine - Still never like to walk in front of an empty car when it’s running. Double check it’s in park and usually engage parking brake.
Misery - This Mr. Man will never look at a sledgehammer and wood chocks the same ever again.
Star Trek 2 - The Wrath of Khan - any earwig or similar boring type bug found will be utterly destroyed with the quickness
Flash Gordon - that damn killer worm in the tree stump. Still hate to reach in anything to this day

The one movie that scared me as a kid was not even a horror movie. It was a sci fi called Brainstorm with Christopher Walken and Natalie Wood (her last role before she died)
Its about a device that is developed that can record and playback memories. One scene in which Louise Fletcher's character has heart attack and records her death really freaked me out. The whole movie just gives me a really eerie feeling even when I occasionally watch it as an adult.

Halloween (original) - I'm 37 and I still have nightmares about Michael Myers. I do love the series and have watched every one of them more times than I can count.

IT
Excorsist
To this day terrified of clowns and both movies. Though I love to torture myself and will watch mini series and updated IT. Don't know why I do it to myself. Still freaks me out for days after I watch...but I have to.
BTW - keep seeing Salems Lot on here a ton. Should I watch?
Jaws - Putting for my pops. Mom wanted to see it when they were just married, but my pops is scared to death of sharks. She got him a flask and filled it so they could see it together. Pops was an A6 intruder pilot. Luckily never had to bail out over the ocean. Lol.

It was a TV miniseries, so it is long and can be slow at times.
That said, I still enjoy it. The book is my favorite of King's.

Jaws.
Period. Could not swim in the ocean for years.

The miniseries was from 2004, but there was a movie from 1979.

I wanted to see Raiders of the Lost Ark when it came out in the theaters. My parents thought I was too young and it would be too scary for me (skeletons, crushing boulder, people getting burnt/melted).
We went and saw Time Bandits instead... Scared the shite out of me (skeletons, crushing tunnel wall, people getting burnt/melted).
