Love horrors but have an irrational fear of zombie films. The remake of Dawn of the Dead when they can run just sh*t me up, especially the first ten minutes. Saw the Exorcist when i was 5 (cheers dad) and had nightmares for ages, revisited 2 years ago at 35 and thought it was funny! Salems Lot quality too.
For the life of me I cannot remember or never knew then name of the film but I watched something on after match of the day about ten in years ago with a little boy having an imaginary friend in the wardrobe. Scared the living shit out of me at some points but turned crap.
I was made to watch the original nightmare on elm street at about 7 years old by a babysitter and I think I actually did a shit in my pants that scared me so much
Dawn of The Dead (1978) is my favourite horror film. Not necessarily the scariest but just a brilliant film. George A Romero is a genius but totally lost his touch with his more modern efforts.
For something different check out 'Cube'. Fantastic Canadian film.
I saw Silence of the Lambs at an afternoon showing the day it opened. Id not heard any reviews just rolled up to the cinema with my girlfriend to watch anything that was on. We were the only people in cinema, Yes just 2 of us in a large cinema. I must admit i was a bit on the back foot. Not overly scary but still a bit creepy.

Another film that made me wince a bit was Hostel.
Also not a horror but the first 'shock' in a film that made me jump was from Jaws where the head suddenly floats into view.
I didn't like it as much as this person though! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=472888696088608&set=a.153147774729370.31678.153144668063014&type=1&theater
