Apparently, I was terrified of the Rock Biter from Neverending Story when I was really young. My family used to live out in California, and I would freak out whenever we drove through some place between two mountains, because of all the rocks. : D
These days, it takes a lot to scare me. The only movie I've seen since turning 18 that's even come close is The Descent, and that's kind of more just... Exhausting. Horribly exhausting. Brilliant movie, but it's not something I'd watch for fun, heh.
On a more moral level, heh, movies like the Saw films, or the Hostels, or anything around like those, scare me in that, we as Americans are paying money to see that sort of thing for fun, and that, to me, is scarier than the movies themselves! (I would guess... I've never seen them, so I have no idea how scary they are)

This weekend we just watched "The Orphanage," it's by the same guy who did "Pan's Labyrinth." I would highly recommend it if you want to get creeped out, but not in a slasher flick kind of way, just a good creeepy story!

When I was a kid, Something Wicked this way comes. Not sure why, but I love that movie and it scares me. Nothing too much does.
I was creeped out about a movie that was about witch craft. I wanted to leave. When I left, I told my friend I did not like it, and she said why didn't you say something. LOL!

Certain elements from films such as The Sixth Sense, Pan's Labyrinth, Wizard of Oz, and especially, The Mothman Prophecies.

Jaws was the first movie that scared me.
I had a water bed and for MONTHS I had to sleep in the center of it. I was SURE that if any part of me dangled over the edge he would get me from underneath. MONTHS!!!!
King's IT - fueled my hatred of clowns. My grandmother had a bunch of clown dolls and used to visit Children's Hospitals dressed like one.. I hated it. I couldn't sleep in her guest room, I'd sneak out to the couch.
I hate clowns.
HATE.
I really can't think of any movies recently that have scared me beyond making me jump at certain parts. Signs messes with me every time I watch it but after it's over I'm ok.
Hitchcock creep me out but don't scare me.

I'll use this as an opportunity to say if you're afraid of "IT", don't watch "Killer Klowns from Outer Space".

Killer Clowns was so bad it was actually funny. The scariest thing about that movie was that people actually paid to watch it.
And now I have to take back what I said about not being scared since I was a kid because I remembered that Anthony Hopkins gave me a serious case of the willies as Hannibal. Hearing him say "Hello, Clarice" was seriously spooky.

(don't laugh) when i was younger the oompa loompas in willy wonka (with gene wilder) scared me. also the part in the original where they go through the tunnel. Also, those evil flying monkeys from the wizard of oz and the tornado.
There is also some bizarre childrens movie where the evil witch character has a bunch of heads to pick from in glass cases and i don't remember the name of it.
The Shining is probably the scariest one for adults. There are some hallways here that look just like that hotel hallway.
Poltergeist (yeah my dad let me watch it when I was real young)
Pet Cemetary
the plane crash in castaway made a few people afraid to fly.

Oh yeah. Gene Wilder is just scary in general.

uhhh....I have to go with the Exorcist. Just the door slamming towards the end used to TERRIFY me. Also, back in the early 90's there was a made for TV movie called "The Haunted". It was about a family who moves into a house that happens to be haunted. It blows away any big budget Hollywood horror movie, even to this day.

As a child my nightmares consisted of Tim Curry's character Rooster from "Annie", the child-catcher with the long nose from "Chitty chitty bang bang", and the Wicked Witch of the West.
As an adult:
The Ring
Skeleton Key
The Exorcist
Psycho (original ofcourse)

George A. Romero's Living Dead trilogy
Night of The Living Dead gave me nightmares of reanimated, cannibalistic corpses since 6th grade (I suppose it's sort of like a morbid Bar mitzvah for me, since it was the summer before I entered Jr. High).
Dawn of The Dead was what probably made me think twice before entering a mall.
Day of The Dead: seriously, watching Romero channel his most misanthropic, anti-military attitudes is enough to make me NOT want to watch his 4th installment, Land of The Dead--except instead of the gore/terror effect, it's more to do with watching what is essentially a gory, but condescendingly political sermon... now that's scary!

Speaking of zombies...
Zombie (a.k.a. Zombi)
I haven't seen this rip off/unofficial "sequel" to Dawn of The Dead, but from what I gathered about this Lucio Fulci flick, it spares no body part for the most deathly-nauseous living dead movie... to the point you could actually smell the rotting stench. I guess I'm not surprised that Fulci had gone all out with the splatter/ick factor, since I've read that he's a serious diabetic.
The Beyond (a.k.a. The 7 Doors of Death?)
Hailed by some of Fulci's most ardent fans as his "masterpiece," it's sort of like Suspiria, with its non-linear narrative (this one involving a woman inheriting a cursed hotel, designated as one of the portals to hell), unleashing among other things, zombies, carnivorous tarantulas (there is undeniably some laughable scenes of these arthropods feasting on human... FX/make-up props ), flesh-eating acid that somehow spills itself onto its hapless victims spontaneously, and some pretty hokey eye-gouging sequences...
Don't bother asking me what the "plot" is...  
Lastly, I'll finish off with something from my traumatic childhood past...
Luigi Cozzi's Contamination (a.k.a. Alien Contamination)
It's basically an Italian rip-off of Ridley Scott's Alien--except its primary choice of splatter has some sinister alien egg pods that can burst out some gnarly-looking liquid onto its unfortunate, often human subjects (within close range), thus chain-reacting some gross-out chest bursting scenes: when I was a kid, watching this with my sister, it felt like every facet of the human body gets blown out/bursts outward. I guess that's why it was placed on Britain's Video Nasties list!

Tombs of The Blind Dead
This Spanish foray into the zombie genre involves the reawakened corpses of the Satanic Knights Templar, probably spreading their murderous terror like a bunch of Horsemen of The Apocalypse. It kinda makes me wonder how this horror film was made (1971)--just 2 years before Francisco Franco's death (i.e. the last days of Spanish Fascism), but I was reminded of how Sergio Leone's Giu La Testa (a.k.a. Fistful of Dynamite) was given the state approval to be produced on Spanish soil, given the times before the country's full liberalization, thanks in part to context: if it's done in reference to the past, nobody really minds. Strange but true...
