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

Who knew what lurked under that bed, let alone who--or what!--might have been in the closet!

I read The Exorcist in one day sitting on the pier at my parents' lake house! Got a great tan and was riveted to my beach towel. Didn't scare me but I was raised Catholic so that sort of creepy priest, etc was not foreign to me.
