Think I was too young when I watched The Shining to get that specific reaction. It was the blood pouring out of the elevators that did it for me (freaked me out, I mean, not aroused me...). Cape Fear went way over my head, too. As did The Vanishing, which I watched again recently and wished I hadn't.

Funny thing about Poltergeist- first one didn't do a thing to me. Something tells me that that would be the one that got me now- more for the whole "kid disappearing in the middle of the night" thing than any supernatural aspect. What an evil series.

My dad mentioned one time that Don't Look Now is just about the scariest movie he's seen as a grown-up with kids. Anybody seen it? Not sure I want to.
