I'm know I'm jaded so I don't know that there are any "scary" movies. However, there are "Jump" scenes in lots of movies that get me although a lot of times it's the loud jump in volume that helps contribute to that.
When I was 8 years old "Jaws" was pretty scary but it was also realistic, you could easily be eaten by a shark. Being chased by a guy in a hockey mask and a machete who can't be killed was pretty unlikely though.
There are other movies I find "Creepy". I saw the movie "Witchboard" as a kid and I just watched it again for the 1st time in probably 20 years and it has a pretty creepy atmosphere to it. "The Exorcist" had a creepy atmosphere. There was a movie that came out a few years back called "Darkness" and I thought that had a pretty creepy atmosphere too. You don't know what's in the dark...it's fear of the unknown.
There isn't really anything in Cinema though as an adult that scares me. No movie gives me nightmares. Only things that happen to me in real life can have that kind of effect on me.
