There are very few films that 'scare' me. Some, like Dead Set make me feel tense and on edge whilst watching and maybe leave a residual unease afterwards. very, very few actually frighten me.
The Grudge is one that did. I actually had to intermittently put my bedside light on during the night after that film lol. The scene where 'it' is under the bedclothes....*suppresse a shudder* that film hits childhood fears like they're skittles.
The very first episode of Sapphire and Steel: that set me up with nightmares for years afterwards. I think I must have been about 8 years old. The sound of children's voices singing 'Ring a ring a roses' in that context is possibly the most terrifying thing I can think of.
