The original one? I still remember that little hand reaching out from under the bed to slice Jud Crandalls Achilles tendon. That and the scene where she's forced to take care of her disabled sister fucked with me for years. Real disturbing stuff for some reason, 10/10.

I saw Alien and Aliens back to back when I was 4. It was so terrifying, but so cool.
"The Tunnel" 2011 is scary.
I was a weird kid. My God parent's son showed me Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the first 3 Friday the 13th movies when I was, like 7 or 8, I think? I don't remember being scared. I do remember being grossed out at a scene from TCM where a dude was pulling maggots off his head, torching them with a lighter and then eating them, tho.
But then Pet Cemetery scared the shit out of me and gave me nightmares for weeks when I saw it at 10 or 11. Not because of the supernatural shit; but because of the flashback scene of the sick sister. The way she looked and how she puked. That's real shit. That can happen to me. An undead kid trying to kill me can't. That's not scary.
I was also very afraid of the tornado in Wizard of Oz as a child. Because tornados are real!

The film that broke me as a child was *The Fair-Haired Child". Pretty unknown horror movie but goddamn it was a lot for ~11 year old me.
Oh, and The Outer Limits: Sandkings! Not ostensibly a horror movie but plenty creepy and weird.
