Should always sleep with the bedroom door closed. Can provide just enough protection to give you time to escape out a window. Or, be rescued from the window.
I can't really remember why but I never wanted to watch Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer again after seeing it once. I just googled it and it could be the Ice-Queen that's in there that I didn't like but I'm not sure.
Jeepers Creepers
I can still the remember the little jingle
if cartoons count, the "return the slab" episode on Courage the cowerdly dog, scared the hell out of me and I couldn't be in the dark for months after.
Mr. Boogety
Gotta go with The Green Mile
Virus with Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Sutherland scared the shit out of me when I was young. Seeing mangled humans turned into cyborgs on that ship lost at sea was terrifying.
Jurassic Park (original) on the big screen.
I remember being scared during the Ewok movie (Caravan of courage) in particular the dog things chasing them and having them hide out inside a tree, and the giant really freaked me out as a kid
The Stephen King movie Silver Bullet. I have always really liked but been freaked out by werewolf movies and something about Everett McGills performance as the priest mixed with the usual stalking of the wolf really spooked me.
The OG Invasion of the Bodysnatchers. I was like, 6? Spent weeks looking under the bed for pods.

Not a movie, but The Real Ghostbusters episode (showing that age) with the Boogeyman was downright terrifying
Haunting in Connecticut. Iโm from Connecticut.
Shallow Ground terrified me. I've had nightmares for a while after that.
An honourable mention: The Pirates of Dark Water - The Beast and the Bell. Fuck Keroptus.
Satan from the Passion of Christ, the hanging scene in Schindler's List
Fantasia, not specifically the Night on bald mountain section, but the bits with the orchestra.
Also a TV series in the UK called Mealstrom. The paintings would come to life, which was ok but the intro was creepy AF https://youtu.be/_FwP5LAXd7U
Night of the living dead. My brother and I rented it when I was about 7 I think. Didn't make it more than 10 minutes into that movie and I was begging him to turn it off.
