Jaws
I was 6 when I got to see JAWS in the theatre. Scared the living shit out of me and it didn't help that we lived in Sandy Hook New Jersey right on the Atlantic at the time. Then came the 'Shark Craze'. I remember when they caught an 10' Tiger Shark off the pier down the beach from our home and that's all I had to see...no more water for me! I was scared of the ocean from then on...I didn't go in the water for a few years after seeing it. I'll go in now, but I'm always weary about it...it's gotta be some sparkling clear water for me to swim. I went snorkling in Jamaica, but in the winter sharks are a rarity and the water was like pool water, so I could see for quite a ways. The ocean is not my first choice of vacation spots to this day and it all stems back from seeing JAWS!

Predator had a few moments, generally puncutated by decent sound effects.
Forbidden Planet still chills

Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte, without a doubt.
Not because it was that scary of a movie, although it had its moments, but that I went not having any idea what the movie was about. Kinda snuck up on me.  Never could put Bette Davis on my favorite actress list after that. Terry

The FIRST movie I ever saw was this turkey from about 1963 called, IIRC, "The Evil of Frankenstein". I don't remember much about it other than it scared the PISS outta me..I was 6. Don't think I could be coaxed into another movie until MAYBE "Mary Poppins" the next year, or " Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines" from '65.

I know it's so cliche by now, but I still find the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre to be one of the eeriest and most disturbing movies I've ever seen. The ambiance of that film makes it easy to imagine yourself in that scenario.
I thought the recent remake was garbage though.

when i lived in argentina, I went to see The Exorcist by myself, when the whole family was outta town...We lived on a duplex apt on the 9th and 10th floor. boy, that was the longest elevator ride ever when I got home...dark, quiet, and the old fashioned doors that you pull closed or push to open...where you can see the elevator tunnel...
I was spooked for 3 nights in a row..

original fear: "earthquake", living in los angeles and having experienced the '71 sylmar quake...i had to leave the theater and go lie down on the bench in the lobby (i was about 10).
later fear: "the stepford wives". still scares the heck out of me, makes me want to live alone in the mountains sometimes...oh, wait, i already do that, but with my family. "do you want more coffee? do you want more coffee? do you want more coffee?" yikes!

Dracula has Risen from the Grave with the Great Christopher Lee as the Count will always be in my memory.
These have already been mentioned, but they will never be equaled in the sheer terror factor: Alien: The best of all time! Exorcist Jaws Also, check out the 1932 version of Tod Browning's: FREAKS. It is a chilling piece of work! Rome

The scariest movie I ever saw was the 1956 Invasion of the Body Snatchers
The movie that scared me the most when I saw it was when I was 11 or 12 and my dad took me to see Rear Window.

Lots of good ones.
Event Horizon was a more recent one that really gave me the willies...

The one that scared me the most was the original B&W movie of The Haunting of Hill House. That was the first and only time I've had the hair on the back of my neck stand up I was so frightened and I was 17 at the time

"Wait Until Dark" with Audrey Hepburn, Richard Crenna and Alan Arkin. My wife told me it was the scariest movie she ever saw, so one night I watched it. I thought my wife was nuts. The movie wasn't scary at all, and then, a scene happened and I actually jumped out of my chair. Caught me way off guard. Up until then, I had never been that scared in my life. Holy shit!
