The Blob. The original black and white one with Steve McQueen. It hosed me up for years, like sleepless nights and everything. Even Blob adjacent things like The Stuff terrified me.

Everyone made fun of me for it, too. Everyone but my dad. He got me.

You can reasonably fight a frankenstein or a dracula. You can stand a fighting chance with those guys. But how do you fight a blob?

HOW!?

The remake with Kevin Dillon and Shawnee Smith (whom I had the biggest loving crush on) was also pretty goddamned terrifying

The movie theater scenes are pretty drat good. Obviously the McQueen version is silly B movie nonsense, but a couple of the scenes in the movie were very well done for its time.

I used to get Shawnee Smith and Danielle Harris mixed up all the time somehow. Their ages don't really line up at all afaik.

e: Kinda inside baseball for comedy nerds, but I thought it was funny that Del Close ended up playing a cult leader in the remake, kinda like in real life.

E.T. gave me the deep creeps. I'm not scared anymore (I'm very brave and old), but that creature still disgusts me.

Crusty, dying ET scared me and made me really sad at the same time.

When I was a little guy my older sister wanted to watch Exorcist, and I started whinging and crying because I didn't want to watch a scary movie. She told me it was a comedy to shut me up, and I sat and watched it and laughed my rear end off the whole time.

Kinda goes against the spirit of the thread, but it's a really weird memory.

I've watched it about a half dozen times since then and I still think it's funny. It's like she hypnotized me or something.
