Burnt Offerings.
Scared the hell out of me. Haven't watched it again since I saw it on TV the first time in ~'79 or '80.

The Wicked Witch of the West.
On a darker note, I was well and truly traumatised at seven when I looked in on a movie my parents were watching in time to see a man get acid thrown all over his face. Graphically. Later, I went and saw "The Borrowers" at the movies. There's a scene in there where the bad guy gets industrial pest extermination foam sprayed all over his face. All the other kids were laughing hysterically, I almost threw up in my popcorn. Some nasty shit goes down in kids movies...

I Never Fail To Be Astounded By The Things We Do For Promises - Ronnie James Dio (All The Fools Sailed Away)
Remember, everytime you drag someone through the mud, you're down in the mud with them
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about learning to dance in the rain
Where are we going...and... WHY are we in a handbasket?

"White Buffalo" ... my babysitter (a guy) let me watch it. Can't recall how od I was ... 8 or 9? It's 'harmless' for the most part, but that image of the white buffalo charging down the pine tree lined snowy corridor gave me nightmares for many nights thereafter.
"The Changeling" the George c Scott horror movie ... yep, still gives me the creeps.

Trilogy of Terror, but just the last part when the creepy tiki doll comes to life.
The first time I saw Evil Dead too, I was around 15 or so. The voices of the demons scared the living crap out of me.
Going way back the Winter Warlock from "Santa Claus is coming to town" used to scare me when I was little.

also my favorite first paragraph in all of american literature:
No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.
you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself

~ alan bates, the mothman prophecies
i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.
~ george clooney, inside the actor's studio
a straight edge for legends at
the fold - searching for our
lost cities of gold. burnt tar,
gravel pits. sixteen gears switch.

And non-film related, the mechanical Friendly Otasco Man in stores I think gave all us kids nightmares as well.

House On Haunted Hill (The original black & white version)
I was about 9 years old and was watching it late night. Couldn't sleep for a few nights afterwords.
Now I love scarey movies!
