Scary movies that left a mark on you

I'm still trying to find a horror, or ANY kind of thriller, that actually scares me...the only kind of "mark" any of them have left on me is that Nightmare On Elm St 3 was my very first 'proper' horror, as in the first one I actually watched all the way through and Evil Dead - I was 8 when my brother watched it with a friend and all I saw was bits and pieces of the cabin scene with the demon in the cellar. It didn't scare me as far as I can remember but the pencil-in-the-ankle scene is permanently etched in my brain

I watched childs play 2 when I was very young freaked me right out. But here are some of my fave horror movies. Audition, High Tension, Rec, Inside.

"Ze Twiligth Zone" series.

Poltergeist.

I haven't ever been a big fan of horror, but when I saw that movie, as a kid (like, probably 8 years old), I could not turn away. I watched it at my neighbor's house after school and even when my mom came to pick me up, I had to sit there and finish watching it. I still remember many of the scenes though I haven't seen it since. There's some pretty messed up stuff in it. But weirdly, I wasn't scared at all, just fascinated. Tennis ball scene, uprooted backyard scene, static on the TV scene, and that macabre mirror scene... just crazy cool stuff. I don't think I'd really seen any horror movies before that one. And even now, I still haven't even watched Freddy Krueger. They just aren't my thing. But Poltergeist was awesome.

Stupid Unsolved Mysteries on TV that my dad would watch late at night scared me more. Damn civil war ghosts in closets and stuff.

Ok, I know this is not a horror movie, but otherwise "Slender" (not talking about Slender: The Arrival) is the only thing that makes my skin crawl. It literally makes me drip in cold sweat whenever I'm playing this. Hey, and I do like to play it, just for the adrenaline rush there.
But, movie-wise? Probably it would be Phantom of The Opera (1925), the unmasking scene. It made me cry as a little kid and even now looking at that scene makes me cringe a bit.

You'll cowards don't even watch real life documentaries like poughkeepsie tapes. Watch this without looking up any information on it.

The Ring really frightened me too. I was so afraid, I couldn't even work up enough courage to go to the bathroom alone. Made my friend stand outside to guard me lol. It sounds dumb but it legitimately scared me that much.

Still scary as heck! ↓

Honestly, I think it was The Grudge

When I was younger, Stephen Kings IT.

Probably the first Saw movie. Psychological thrillers are much scarier to me than the typical shocker-slasher films.

Scary Movie 3

As a child? Nightmare on Elm Street. Child's Play. The Serpent and the Rainbow. Poltergeist. Pet Sematary. The Gate. Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Oh, and Fire in the Sky. Freaked the crap out of me.

More recently? 1408 (the daughter really got to me).

Ju On as a kid
Well you know what haooened afterwards xD

Well, I like that someone said Final Destination; only the first one is really frightening (the concept, not the movie) - but even years after watching them I still fidget on rollercoasters and airplanes.

Also, by far the scariest movie I've ever seen is King's Rose Red miniseries. It's not outright scary, but for some odd reason the creepiness factor of it got to me and mindfucked me for months afterwards. As in, literally leaving the closet door open with the light on mindfucked. Yeah.

On the flipside, The Stand is BRILLIANT horror (more horror of the aftermath of the apocalypse than dark horror, mind); I loved the book, and it's one of my favourites of all time. The miniseries was great too, but less so since there were some accuracy issues (as in, SEVERE accuracy issues. Read the book first, brahs).

Dead Silence had a few awesome scares just like the Ju-On and Ring series. Didn't leave a mark but they were pretty good scares.

don't really like those movies, they don't work on me.
that said, the old exorcist movie still give me nightmare. because of the medical stuff they did. those were some scary doctors.

Idk if any left a mark on me, there were some that scared me when I was 10 or 11 (Stephen King's It and Arachnophobia) that don't scare me anymore, though I still love those movies.

Also most horror movies don't scare me, even some classics such as The Exorcist and The Omen (1976 one). All that being said, there are some ones that get to me:
The Grudge
The Babadook

No horror movie has ever scared me beyond the movie, none, seriously.

Before you go saying "we got a tough guy here!" however, there was one thing that freaked me out when I was younger.
The South Park episode: Spookyfish.

Not even kidding, I have a phobia of goldfish over a fucking South Park episode, yet I could watch Freddy tear people apart back then and be fine. What the fuck was I on as a kid!?

Coraline

White Noise.

Hold up here and hear me out. The movie itself wasn't too scary. But the concept of the movie scares the hell out of me. I'm so glad white noise on the tv no longer exists because it was always so loud and unnerving.

The only horror film I saw that left a psychological mark is Barney on Ice, God it was so horrible and all those poor kids forced to watch.

So one I didn't see mentioned that can be kind of scary as a kid but seems super cheesy as an adult, would be The Langoliers (not a feature film, but a made for TV movie) based on the novel by Stephen King. Keep in mind that the CGI didn't look quite as poor by standards at the time to a young eye.

Horror movies today are a joke. To me, they're more funny than scary. The only movie that actually ever managed to scare the crap out of me was Poltergeist. There was also Child's Play and that one movie made adapted from a Stephen King novel, which I can't remember how it's called, the one about the small town being possessed by some sinister force from an alien ship, everyone turning green eyes and losing one or two of their teeth. But those were more creepy than scary. I only got scared of them cause I was a kid. Re-watching Child's Play now.... again...more funny than scary. I guess The Shining was pretty scary too.

Stephen Kings "IT". Made me keep a knife with me in the shower for a month. lol.
