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

I NEVER watch horror movies, but one day, I watched The Strangers.

I thank God that my complex requires me to buzz people in because I'd NEVER answer the door.

I was coming here to post about this movie specifically. I don't generally watch scary movies. Aside from not being entertained by most of them, I can't stand the bloody/gory aspect of many of them.

My ex LOVED scary movies, but after I almost passed out on our first date while watching Saw IV, he figured out that taking me to those types of movies wasn't a good idea. But he wanted to see The Strangers, and he heard from multiple people that there was no blood and guts, so I agreed to go.

I've never been more creeped out by a movie. He, a fan of the genre as a whole was disappointed, but I felt like there was someone creeping behind me for days after. Only that movie has ever had that effect on me.

Seven and The Shining are two of my favorite movies. They're pretty creepy, but they never had the effect on me that The Strangers did.. and I frequently watch those movies late at night, when I'm at home by myself.
