I have to agree with "Psycho" and "Silence of the Lambs." My husband teases me by saying "Step Back from the glass, Clarice" just to give me the shivers. When I was a young kid, my older sister took me to see Vincent Price in "House of Wax" and that terrified me, too.

Oh boy -- I'm a horror/scary/suspense movie fan :-)
The scariest movie I saw as a kid was "The Birds" -- I was in grade school, & had a parakeet, lol! Just like the little girl in the movie had been given the lovebirds as a gift. It was that scene where they showed the man slumped on the bedroom floor with his eyes pecked out. Pretty horrifying for a little kid.
"Psycho" was & still is a great classic, back in the time before stories just like it were on the news every week. Back then, it was unheard-of to keep Mom in her room like that.
"The Haunting" with Julie Harris was another great one. This is the old one made back in the early '60's, not the newer one. It scared the crap out of me.
"The Ring" was pretty scary in an indescribably elusive way; something about it was really disturbing to me. We watched it when it first came out on DVD, so it's been a while. "The Grudge" was good too.
I can't leave out "The Shining" -- Jack Nicholson does crazy *so* well, but the casting of Shelly Duvall was a big disappointment - all I could think of when I saw her was Olive Oyl, lol! That was the only book I ever read that scared me so badly I would not read it at night :-)
Can't leave out "Alien" either. I loved the humanizing touch of adding the cat Jonesy to it, & the complex interactions between all the members of the crew... as they all disappeared, one by one...
This might not fall into the horror genre, but I always thought "Deliverance" was pretty scary.
I never thought "Silence of the Lambs" was frightening; I read the book first, & thought it was a fascinating character study.
