Movies/books that scared the "bejeebers" out of you.

Shortly after I moved into my house after my divorce, I had just broken up with someone and really wanted to see a movie. I decided it was time to go see a movie by myself. I thought Signs looked great. So off I went, to a 9:30 pm movie, by myself. Really. Stupid. Idea. Not only was I scared to go in the house when I got home, but it was also deep and emotionally charged and I was pretty vulnerable at the time. That movie... I still love it, but watching it alone that first time..ugh.

The first movie that scared the crap out of me was that babysitting movie... When a Stranger Calls, the original, in 1979. I watched that while babysitting. REALLY. STUPID. IDEA.

OH! And there was a movie that used to be on a lot when I was a tween/teen. It was called The Omega Man. I don't remember a lot about it, but it used to really scare me.
