Didn't we had this discussion in another thread, or I'm having some kind of deja vu?  :bouncegiggle:
I'm fairly sure we've had this conversations a couple of times. 

Oh well.  It's a good conversation topic. 

The very first movie I can ever remember scarring me was Beetlejuice.  To be more specific, the part where he turns into the big snake.

2 things - the swamp witch from Legend

and of course... Jaws
Gilligan's island, Goonies and Godzilla information booth here!

recent movies that truly creeped me out:

THE RING
SINISTER
MIRRORS
HEREDITARY

One of the scares I remember more vividly from my childhood came from THE SHINING, particularly the old lady in the bathroom. I watched the movie recently and damn it's boring, if it wasn't for good ol' Jack it would be a disaster. The bathroom scene definitely lost its charm, but it's still quite effective.

Dang- the only people on that old thread that are still around are me and Ash (on occasion).

Actually I'm still around, long story short, when I retired I continued working from home doing the same thing and I am now busier than I was when I was going to the shop in Los Angeles, I look in at odd moments when I have time but this is the first log in in quite awhile.

I recently watched "From Hell it Came" and although the "Tobanga" is laughable I remember that back about 1959 or so that thing appeared in pretty scary dream

The Poltergeist sequels I agree have some great scares especially number 2. Agree with the initial post here mentioning how certain characters truly scare you...

I just thought of a movie from the 70's, Burnt Offerings, at the end of the movie the expression on Karen Blacks  face as she rises from the chair is one I have always found frightening.
