Yup, had a Freddy poster on my wall I thought was cool.  
Was scared to sleep with it in my room, but more embarrassed to tell my dad I was scared and wanted to take it down...
So it stayed up, and so did I

Nosferatu

Max Schreck was just plain creepy as Graf Orlok. He stayed in character throughout the filming of the movie, even off set.

Beware The Blob, I cried when it ate the cat.

Aliens scared the crap outta me, love it now though.

ETA: Anyone remember Squirm? I couldn't handle an earthworm for awhile after that one.

It was re-released in the mid '40s when I was about 6 years old.

I was 7 when my mom and dad took me with them to see "The Towering Inferno"...we had to leave the theater before the end.  Too real for a 7 year old!

Nightmare at 20,000 ft Twilight Zone episode. I was maybe 4 and it was on tv, my older brother who would have been 14 or 15 set me up big time, when Shatner looks out that window at the Gremlin... I jumped, screamed, and ran up stairs to Mommy. Still hear shit about it at Thanksgiving and Christmas 30+ years later.

Some cheap ass low budget film from the late seventies, early eighties.  People were in some cabin in the woods.  Lots of low POV shots hauling as in the woods.  I think on I remember branches reaching for people, lots of screaming.  I was terrified for weeks.  Can't remember the name.

The Blob. My dad took me and my brother to see it when we were little kids. It was the first time I had been in a theater, which made the movie even more creepy.

The major one that gave me nightmares was Asylum...for the longest time I could never listen to Mussorgsky's "Night on Bald Mountain" without freaking out.



OH, and this one.....

I just watched Dr. Phibes again tonight.  This is probably why I posted.  It was dumb.  Most that scared me then are dumb now.  The scene in Ghostbusters where the taxi driver turns around dead used to get me.

I totally remember Dark Night of the Scarecrow, and the slow dude saying "Bubba didn't do it!"  But the movie that freaked me out for years was Salem's Lot.

Alien had Sigourney Weaver pokies.  Made me a happy teenaged boy.  Still remember it ~40 years later.

When that head popped into that hole in the boat in Jaws, though, fuck.. Or the hand at the end of Carrie.

Original Night of the Living Dead.  Saw it at the drive-in and hid in the back seat while looking over the front seat.

"The Other" from 1972. About twin boys on a farm or something.  One good, one evil. I was real young when I saw it. Freaked me out.
And of course, the original "The Hills Have Eyes". Movie looked and felt real. Actors who didn't look like actors scares the piss out of you.

Night of the Living Dead. Saw it at an old drive-in theater that was located in a wooded area with collapsed sections of the sheet metal wall. I saw it the year that Space Lab was in a deteriorating orbit and supposed to crash land back on Earth. The movie mentioning that one of the theories of the reanimated dead might be from radiation from a satellite that returned to Earth from Venus seemed eerily coincidental. All that and the huge openings in the metal wall with light wind blowing through the trees and bushes in the woods created a creepy environment.

That one too. I was terrified of "big foot" as we lived next to the woods...older brothers insisted he was real and lived outside our house. To the point of making tracks and showing them to me. Or banging on my bedroom window when I was sleeping at night.
