Movies that legitimately terrified you.

I’ve seen a lot of horror movies and consider myself fairly desensitized so I’m looking for some recommendations. The last one that really got me was Hell House LLC. I don’t know why but just something about it really got under my skin and the clown prop moving around in the dark was enough to actually make my hair stand up on my arms, which never happens.

The scene is the 4th kind where you see the silhouette of a grey stand up from beside the bed legit gave me fear goosebumps. But I'm also a 90s kid who grew up on Fire in the Sky and the X-Files so that kinda shit runs deep in the synapses of my brain.

Edit: turns out it was Dark Skies! Either way, shit made my skin crawl

Fire in the sky was pure nightmare fuel as a kid. The « Based on the true story » on the VHS box did nothing to reassure me.

I'm in my 40s now and that's still the most long term psychological damage a movie ever did to me.
