Watching the original Evil Dead was quite a scary experience for me when I first saw it via the Palace VHS rental tape. I'd read so much about how gory the film was before actually watching it - I think it was anticipating something really gruesome happening at any minute more than anything. Like many others on here, the BBC screening of Tobe Hooper's Salem's Lot was a major pants-crapping experience. As was seeing Jaws on its cinema release, when I was seven.
