To start, I will say, Last Shift, the original woman in black, and Salems Lot. Plus the Night Stalker. Those are some scary movies that I think a lot of people haven't seen these days. Add in!!
 
Signs - Gonna sound silly but the movie that scared me the most was Signs. To be fair, I was 12 or so when it came out. But the build up at the end was super tense and had me shaking. The scene where they show the alien at the birthday party nearly gave me a heart attack, and at that age my heart was in perfect condition.

The Descent - Just scared the hell out of me when I first saw it.

Get Out - (SEMI-SPOILERS) Might be another odd choice, but I saw it in theaters after a night of heavy drinking. My nerves were already shot from the hangover, and I started to have a panic attack during the scene when he is attempting to leave and they wouldn't let him. I'm also just terrified of psychological horror and the entire premise of the movie/what they wanted to do to him.
 
The Exorcist is the only one really. But did first watch it when I was young.
 
Watched Candy Man when I was 11. We talking serious nightmares.
 
Sinister 1 always does it for me.

Same. I had a hard time sleeping after seeing it.

Also, Hannibal had me feeling weird after seeing it in theater. Not scared just felt weird. Anthony Hopkins owned that character.
 
Ah lesser known ones. I think it’s called Lake Mungo, it’s about this teenage girl who dies and her family is trying to figure out what happened. It’s like a fake documentary style if I remember correctly. Watched it home alone in my basement at night time and it gave me the heebie jeebies.

Adding in to that, the only true way to watch a horror movie is home alone at night time. Try watching something like the conjuring by yourself at night time and not be creeped out...
 
When I was a little shit, maybe 4-6, the movie "Troll" scared the ever living shit out of me.



As for currently I'm not really a fan of horror movies for the most part. The original "Hostel" movie kind of left me unsettled the first time I watched it, but not really scared. Same goes for "The Ring" simply because of the face on the girl in the closet after she died from fear...really caught me off guard for some reason.
 
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
Philadelphia
The Shining
Signs
The Hills Have Eyes
Pan's Labyrinth
The Silence of the Lambs

I really do believe "horror" must apparently be the most difficult genre to master in film. I've very very rarely gone in to a horror film and actually been horrified. The exceptions are the films I mentioned, which is why I mentioned them, and I'm not sure that all of them are even classified as horror films. And even with them it was only certain scenes and it wasn't really horror but more a feeling of unease/anxiety
 
Chud was scary as f when I was a kid.
 
Trilogy of Terror, a made for TV movie from the '70's scared the shit out of me when I was like 9.

Leprechaun back in the day.

Hereditary this day.

This is one of them anthologies and it's kinda lame overall tbh, but there's one segment called Whispers that's really good and kind of horrific. It's very Clive Barker/Hellraiser, and was directed by Brian Yuzna who was involved in body horror classics like the Re-animator films and Society.

This is more gradually unnerving that outright scary, although Isabelle Adjani goes completely batshit at one point and it's mental. It's like watching someone explode with rabies or protest Trump or something. Real gem of a film

This is one flick maybe only British people will ever find realistic because no other country had Chav culture to my knowledge. If you don't know what a Chav is you'll probably find this film silly for the most part. But it has an ending that's one of the biggest gut punches I've ever seen in a film. Plus it has Michael Fassbender in it and you Americans love some Fassbender
