Night of the living dead terrified me when I was Young. Something about being in the middle of nowhere adds to the scares.

Grew up watching and loving horror but the one that scared me recently was the Conjuring 2

Ju On: The Grudge (there’s been quite a few different versions now) delightfully creepy.

Salem’s Lot - Already I see I’m not alone with this brilliant two parter.

Mama - Creepy and with an unusual bitter/sweet ending. A sequel is apparently in the works now.

no horror film has actually scared me but I did once experience total fright

I watched a live seance created by Derren brown on my own at home and something freaked me out

I switched off and had to get out the room

I've never experienced anything like that before and ( my then wife) we sold the house .

The Conjuring 2 was well done apart from the bits with the Nun- like when the boy walks downstairs, wind is totally still but the swing is moving outside and there’s something in Bill’s chair as he goes back.

Also Threads from 1984. Not ‘scary’ but just relentlessly brutal

Great call! That scared the crap out of me to when I was little to.

Also, another classic that frightened me was, The Curse Of The Demon (aka The Night Of The Demon). It was scary in fact UNTIL the actual titular demon appeared; A classic case of the phenomenon wherein sometimes exactly what is NOT shown is far scarier than when it actually is. Brilliant film nonetheless

There and to the left a bit

Outright horror films don't bother me at all usually - in fact can remember sitting laughing my head off at The Evil Dead the first time I saw it

Psychological thrillers however (i.e. the sort of thing that *could* happen rather than invented monsters or the like) have been known to have me checking under the bed and in cupboards before turning the light off...Psycho had that effect on me probably not helped by watching it at my them girlfriend's house and walking home past a deserted house after the streetlights had gone out.

Another one to do that was Dressed To Kill a late 70s thing with Angie Dickinson and Michael Caine that may even have seen me sleeping with the light on!!
