possessed or haunted.
I only remember two scenes from the movie... one of the crew had to go through one
of the cargo holds, and "whatever" was on board had turned the hold into a deep freeze
where if the cold itself didn't kill ya, touching anything gave you instant frostbite.

This movie had to be "Horror at 37,000 feet". I think William Shatner was in it, a pretty cheesy 70's made for TV movie. It definately had it's moments where it got to you.
For me, Evil Dead was probably one of the scarier movies I've seen. Another was Demon Seed, had an evil computer voiced by Robert Vaughan (though he was uncredited in the movie interestingly enough) of Man from U.N.C.L.E. Fame. Kind of a wacked out early 80's combo sci-fi/horror job. Pretty intese at times.
Amityville Horror also ranks up there (the 1976 version, not that rancid steaming heap of crap they re-made a couple of years back) I saw this as a kid. Now, it just looks like a low-budget BS job. Which is exactly what is was.
And, don't forget the Exorcist III - after the bad joke that was Exorcist II, it tends to be overlooked. It was actually a very good movie for both story and production value. It also spooked the hell out of me, as opposed to the chuckles I got hearing Richard Burton say "Pizuzu" or whatever stupid demon they were talking about in the second movie.
One more that gets honorable mention - The Car. Insanely stupid 70's horror movie about a big, black, ugly car with full window tint and no door handles on the outside, that honked it's horn when it was about to attack. Starred James Brolin as the police chief in another one of his great performances (insert sarcasm here) and the car was, I suppose, driven by the devil. I laugh at it now, not so much 20 years ago.
