The Exorcist 5
The Sentinel 3
Burnt Offerings 4
I saw Burnt Offerings several times as a child and was horrified that the father could become influenced by spirits to the point he would attempt to drown his child. The pool scene and the final scene left an impact on me.
The Exorcist is the only movie I can think of that scared the crap out of me before I ever saw it. In fact, I never saw it until I was almost 30. I remember one time while I was in college, I thought I was going to finally watch it. I lived in a big house by myself and was taping the movie in the living room while doing dishes in the kitchen. The TV was on and I could hear it from a distance. It creeped me out so much I never watched the tape.
Now the movie is in a constant battle with The Shining as my favorite horror movie of all time.
