When I was 11 or 12, I watched "Fire in the Sky" at home alone as soon as it came out on VHS. Not sure I have seen an alien abduction movie like it since. The scene where he comes to in captivity and then gets vacuum bagged to the table, gagged, and a needle pointed at his eyeball.....whew...that was intense for a young adolescent who had never seen anything like it before. Still a vivid and disturbing memory of that movie for me today.
Jaws was my favorite movie growing up. Absolutely wore the tape out I watched it so many times growing up.

My daughter is 9. She spent the night with some friends last summer and her friends' parents let them watch Bird Box. My daughter is still messed up from that damn movie. She hears the slightest rustling of wind / leaves outside and she starts freaking out and climbs into bed with us. My wife still cusses that mom for such stupidity. No 9 year old should be allowed to watch that movie....
Years ago Coka-Cola ran a promotional airing of a Jaws - 3D movie on TV. Customers who bought liter bottles of Coka-Cola also got a pair of 3D glasses to watch the movie with. All three of our kids, my wife and myself watched it in 3D while eating deep fried Smelt and drinking Coka-Cola.
Our kids were still really young then, the youngest not even old enough to go to school yet, but they all thought it was big fun then and still remember it as such with all three in their 40s now.
My female cousin was visiting from Michigan when we were both about 19 or 20.
We went to see "American Werewolf in London".
She was staying with my grandparents about a mile from my house, so I dropped her off there after the movie. Everybody had gone to bed and the lights were off,...it was way out in the country,..and she made me wait there with the car lights on while she *ran* to the house.
lol,...she was kickin' it too!
I laughed so hard,.....

I never thought Silence of the Lambs was scary at all, don't know why it makes these lists. More of a suspense movie than a horror story to me.
Exorcist is no. 1. Poltergeist is way up there. John Carpenter's version of The Thing ought to make these lists, excellent monster movie.
'Silence Of The Lambs' is scary because it makes you realize there "may" be people out there who are capable of such evil deeds. Most others are about making you jump out of your seat by surprising you and shouting "boo".
There ain't no "may" to it.
For me, as an adult and parent, the original, early '70s "B" movie, Last House on the Left, meets the, ain't no "may" criteria, as well, and was the single most disturbing movie I've ever saw and still is.
As a kid the two truly "scariest" movies I remember most were, Black Sunday - AKA - The Mask of Satan (1960), and, The Tingler (1959).
Wacking at the chick in the lake with the .38 ..was a trip ..

Exorcist for a 9 yr kid and his 2 buds that got into a R rated movie. Scared schittless for months afterwards at night going to sleep and a nightmare every once in awhile. And being catholic and going to church didnt help out matters either with all the visual trigger reminders in church.
