This is a fun poll...I was about 8 years old when me mum let me go to a "kiddie matinee" with some pals...turned out one of the films was Corman's Pit and the Pendulum...Vinnie Price scared the crap outta me, and I wouldn't go in the basement at home for weeks.
About a year later, I caught the orignal Dracula on the local Chiller Theater...Bela Lugosi STILL gives me the creeps, and just like there is only one Sherlock Holmes (B. Rathbone), one James Bond (Connery)...Bela is THE blodsucker of all time for me. (BTW...anybody check out the dvd of Dracula with The Kronos Quartet soundtrack? A great addition to a classic!).
Psycho gave me a chill, but mainly the ending, with Norman/Tony Perkins starring at the screen, and the "I wouldn't hurt a fly" line. The shower scene is disturbing (and extremely well done), but not really scary, imo.
A few years later, The Exorcist scared me pretty good...this was quite a phenom. in the early 70's...I saw it on an Army base in California, and ALOT of soldiers got up and left after Regan did the 360 degree thing with her head.
Tony Hopkins in Silence of Lambs (and it's sequels, to a lesser degree) creeped me out a bit more recently.
In recent years, the best "jump outta my seat" moment came with the John Carpentar remake of The Thing...when the drawn blood is heated and turns into a baby monster... and that SCHREEECH on the soundtrack...whoa! I shown to film over the years to many friends, and it never fails to get the blood pumping.
Al the best,
Gary
