As a young boy, a 1974 film called Beyond The Door scared the living daylights out of me, and was responsible for quite an expensive electric bill as a kid. Making it worse was that the New York stations would play the TV spot for it just as we young un's had to go to bed. And we'd be upstairs just settling down from the last round of the TV spot when BAM, it would play again like clockwork.
Ask me if this is something you want to see and hear before bed as a kid, and then have to listen to again as you're nervously waiting for the TV to be turned off.....

This guy wins the trophy. Nothing is more terrifying than the movies he's named. Grudge one was better though. Annabella and Incidious is creepy as well. There's one movie that has all of them beat that came out last yr...the conjuring. Can't get any worse than that. Sinister was creepy as hell as well.
The '78 version of Body Snatchers and 73' Don't be afraid of the dark...yeah I'm telling my age but these two movies were very disturbing.
The Exorcist was also a good-bad for me..but nothing has scared me in a long time however Oculus was the best suspense/horror movie I've seen in many years.
For me, it was The Blair Witch Project. I remember watching the movie somewhere around 3 AM, alone, with my headphones on. It was an experience I will never forget. Two years ago I rewatched the movie with my friends and it didn't felt the same. So, my advice...watch the movie you like alone :P
Gory films and jumpy films never really scare me. I prefer ones with tension and dread so for that films like Session 9 and The Blair Witch Project and even The Woman in Black are all brilliant. Same with The Fog.
That being said I still have a soft spot for The Thing (Kurt Russell version)
Horror games can have a more profound impact on the player because the player feels like a part of the environment in which he is operating the character.
Alien Isolation will really test your nerves because the game offers a survival horror setting in which defensive options are limited and Aliens are sneaky and lethal.
