That one was on my list too. I can still remember what those little whispering demons sounded like.

This shite right here, but not the movie. The TV trailer for it scared me so bad I could never watch the movie. That crib slowly turning around while the baby music played to finally reveal that cloven hoof hanging over the side with the "it's alive!" voiceover. After the first time, I had to leave the room and hold my ears when it came on.

There are two that come to mind.
When I was 8 or 9 my parents let me watch Silence of the Lambs. As a result, I don't watch anything considered horror as it's either stupid and I hate it, or it's a really good psychological thriller and I get way to sucked in.
The other is far more embarrassing, but it's Hocus Pocus. The opening scene with the little girl mindless walking into the woods while Binks in human form chases after her only to get captured and turned into a cat gave me nightmares. The last time I rewatched it was when I was 15. I decided avoidance is the best policy.

The late 60's-early 70's Christopher Lee Dracula movies scared me so much I had a wooden stake between my mattress & box springs. Think I kept it there through the fifth grade.
Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966) trailer
Dracula Has Risen From The Grave (1968) Trailer
Taste The Blood of Dracula (1970) trailer
Scars of Dracula (1970) Trailer
All of these Hammer Films were about sex. Multiple buxom wenches in every one of them.

Original "IT" was scary enough. Still freaks me out.

The Exorcist III, especially the scene where he goes after the nurse with garden shears.

quote:I missed the original in the theatres, but saw Beneath the Planet of the Apes with my older brother. The damn dirty apes didn't bother me - but (*****SPOILER ALERT*****) the Holy Bomb going off at the end and destroying the earth gave me nightmares for weeks. Even the prospect of my own death wasn't as frightening a concept to me as the end of the world.
Some people my age were slightly traumatized by seeing the first Planet of the Apes film in theaters. Nothing major, but I've met a couple of other people that had the same nightmare after seeing the movie (gorillas searching through your yard or your house for you).
One other movie I saw as a kid that creeped me out, but unlike BTPOTA is still one of my all time favorites, is Darby O'Gill and the Little People. The film is still fantastic, the forced perspective effects are still amazing, Janet Munro is still hot, and the banshee and the Cóiste Bodhar are still scary after all these years.

For me it was Fatal Attraction--taught me not to f'around in a relationship as a young boy of the age of 8.
Next would be Monster in the Closet. I didn't sleep for a month and had to be sleep induced through strong narcotics.

I am glad someone mentioned Darby O'Gil. Has one of the best jump scares ever when it comes to older movies.

Sorry, fat fingered a downvote
I was discussing this with my 17-year-old daughter the other night as we watched it (it's a family tradition around St Paddy's Day). The old Disney live-action films were often kick arse - solid plots, great performances, good music and state of the art special effects - at least up until Walt died and the quality started to slip. And Darby featured some pretty grown-up concepts for a kids movie: the ravages of age, fear of death, malevolent spirits, classism, and a lot of good old Irish drinkin' and fightin'.
Plus that damn banshee.
