I'm not being snide (or not entirely snide) when I say the Marvel movies scare me, because their rampant popularity says uncomfortable things about the state of western civilization.

I suspect they have an all-controlling mega-corporation behind them that is the real power and danger. ;)

When she was a little girl, my Mom saw "Frankenstein meets the Wolf Man" at a birthday party and was so scared she threw up.

As a young girl my aunt had snuck out to see The Tingler with some friends. The movie terrified her, but what really put the icing on the cake is that they walked home part of the way through a cemetery. When one of the girls asked what time it was, someone doubtless laying flowers or whatever, raised up their hand from the other side of a gravestone to show them the time on his (or her I guess) wrist. This sent them home screaming.

After I heard the story I always used to torture my aunt Janice about how I was going to put the film on. Sadly she died recently and I never did get the chance to put it on and make her watch it again.

It's probably best. She might've laughed.  THE TINGLER is pathetic, not scary.   BounceGiggle

I've been trying to keep it almost 100% positive on here and not get too reactive/overly opinionated about movies I legitimately think are bad, but since you opened this can of spinal parasites... MAN, was I ever disappointed by THE TINGLER when I finally got around to it 5 or so years ago. I think every other one of Castle's films has SOMETHING positive going for it, but THE TINGLER....... I have to think Castle was so satisfied about the premise and the in-theater gimmick that he just decided to phone in the rest of the movie w/ no thought or effort whatsoever. Illogical, slow, fails to even play by its own rules... not scary... and even Vincent Price seems unmotivated to invest in the rock-bottom screenplay. I've seen even more dull horror movies from the 50s, but I don't know if I can think of one, ONE that's more mindless and - to use your word - "pathetic" than THE TINGLER! Even if I didn't authentically like Ed Wood's movies....... THE TINGLER would make his 50s horror entries look good/better! THE TINGLER was appalling.

And yet the radio ads really sold it and got you (the royal "You", me, all of America) reeeal psyched up for some terrifying tingling, didn't it? Sigh.

But returning to the bright side of getting scared...

I have been scared at / during / by lots of stuff - however no one has scared me more and better than David Lynch. The 2 scenes from his filmography I always cite (though there are handfuls) are:

...The scene in TP:FWWM where Laura returns to her house mid-afternoon, alarmed that there is an intruder, and enters her bedroom... where everything appears perfectly normal............

...And of course the Winkie's Diner scene in MULHOLLAND DRIVE. That one is pure filmmaking craft - in the face of most conventional logic about setting up a jumpscare. It shouldn't still work on me, maybe shouldn't have even worked the first time, but it does the job, every time.

The scene of the crab-walk in the stairs in THE EXORCIST freaked me out to no end.
The ending of SLEEPAWAY CAMP caught me off guard for sure. I will speak of it no further.
IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS still has the power to make me feel uncomfortable, it's such an amazing movie, filled to the brim with details.

Not exactly scared, but The Killing of a Sacred Deer creeped me out no end.

A slight aside. I wonder if I'll ever see another movie that genuinely scares me?

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
