It's so hard to say, because horrific images permeate our media. But I remember something I saw at an early age (six or seven) that I thought was really messed up: "The Thing That Couldn't Die."
This was a movie about some people on a farm who are dowsing for water and come across an old box buried in the dirt. The box contains the severed head of a warlock! And it's STILL ALIVE!!!! And if you look into its eyes, it hypnotizes you! It wants the people on the farm to help it get back together with its body, which is buried somewhere else...it starts to control the people, one by one.............
This movie had a seriously palpable feeling of supernatural dread. I mean, you could feel the head's evil influence. I haven't seen it in years, and maybe it is a much tamer film by today's standards, but MAN, it was really messed up back then. Supposedly this was done on MST3K, but I think they ruined what is basically a good low budget flick.
