Tallima: I saw Event Horizon at 3am when I was maybe 15 or 16. Upon a rewatch, not so scary. But at 3am alone, wicked.
You should check it out in HD and watch the scene where they're watching the shennanigans of the previous crew.... in slow motion; it's seriously messed up O_o. For me I never liked BFG when I was really little; Giants stealing kids & eating them whilst they're sleeping.
I was shown this movie when I was way way too young. This scene haunted me for years. Important bit starts at about 1:30.

That movie with the Clown by Steven King.

I got nightmares afterwards, lots and lots of nightmares...
I`m from Germany. In the 70`s, early 80`s, our TV Station "ZDF" broadcasted a series of Horror-Movies, called: "Der Phantastische Film".
My mother sometimes allowed me to watch these series with her.
I cannot remember the title of the particular movie.
I think, it was about Frankenstein - but I`m not sure.
The particular scene, that frightend me so much, played in the Doctors Lab, where he had lots of glass jars with body parts in it. One of these jars contained a pair of eyes, complete with eye muscles and optic nerves. The protagonist of that movie brought a candle (or a torch) near that glass jar and these bodyless eyes moved away from the light.
At that point, I pulled my blanket over my head and followed the rest of the movie only listening.
On that evening, these bodyless, moving eyes teached me fear.

Haha, I remember that from an episode of MST3K.

As for myself, one movie that scared the hell out of me when I was little was Darkman, starring Liam Neeson.

Aliasalpha: Optimus Prime dying in Transformers: The Movie. The only thing that made me sadder is watching my sister die in much the same manner though she didn't give ME the matrix of leadership!
Dammit!! Why make me remember that! Now i'm going to have to put You've got the Touch on loop again.

Tantrix: That movie with the Clown by Steven King.

The movie was called...It. I was freaked out by that clown too. I remember my sister and I would slide down the creek banks and onto the ice during winter when we were kids. One time we saw a moving shadow and we both immediately thought that it was that clown stalking us and we started to run back to the house. Halfway there, we realized we had left one of our sleds and my older sister made me go back by myself and get it. It was one of the times I truly feared for my life.

I just gotta say, the second half of that movie was terrible.

I watched it when I was very young. I remember the movie till now.
And also stuff like Child's Play. And some Hong Kong horror movies.

lowyhong: My adulthood is scarred.
Grats! I watched that show as a kid, you don't have it that bad :D :D
Arachnophobia, I think it was called. I saw it when I was about five or six. I wasn't the biggest fan of spiders before that; afterward, the mere sight of one sent shivers up my spine.

Also, I saw Signs when I was pretty young. Eight, maybe. And that movie freaked me out. It also didn't help that while watching the movie, the door in our house that led to the garage randomly opened, all by itself. Yeah, freaky stuff.

Salem's Lot brings up bad memories as well. I remember when I went to bed the night after I watched it, I looked toward the doorway of my room and thought I saw a woman in a hospital gown. I'm surprised my heart didn't stop.
What's that show where a Witch gets burned alive at the stake, then comes back and kills everyone?
Nightmare on elmstreet scared the living shit our of me when i was about 10 or 11.
I enjoyed it but don't like it anymore, lost my taste for horror a while ago.

Its really did break me up as a kid and when I learned the truth that his death was a simple matter of the toy having reached saturation and being difficult to sell, that fuelled my hatred of uncaring arsehole corporations
^This. I was also very much awed at how big Unicron is. One of my favourite shows ever.

I remember The Blob too when I was still much younger:

The boat scene in Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory.

It doesn't scare me as much now, but I realized when I saw it again (with Rifftrax on) that they had a chicken being decapitated projected on the wall of the tunnel. As Mike Nelson said: "Kids love candy, whimsical characters, and...animal slaughter."

But oh man, if that movie was being shown in school when I was a kid you bet I'd find some way to get out of the room. It was that freaky to me.
