Damn that is a hard one... Hmmm Shutter or R-point. They did F me up really good.... Since I did watch them at like... 2-3 in the morning 
Martyrs. I'm really quite hardened when it comes to horror and gore, I've been watching scary movies for 20 years. That movie disturbed the ever living shit out of me.
I couldn't sleep for a month or so when I first watched Michael Jackson's Thriller when I was like 6.
I only really watch proper scary movies, i.e. not slashers or gorefests.
The Ring didn't really do much, until I got home; was watching tv with my mate and we had a powercut. That was fucking traumatic...
The Thing gets some good points; and 'Darkness Falls' made me sleep with the light on for a week. Scariest film I have ever watched... ALIEN. That chestbursting scene was awesome...

Its sad but 1988s 'The Blob' terrified me. Then again, being under the age of 5 would make any horror movie scary.
I get a few chills from Jeepers Creepers, but love the film.
The Ring scared me a bit when I first watched it, for a week until I didn't die, lol.
Then generally realistic sciency ideas scare me more than films. Cabin fever was terrible but the idea of a flesh eating virus.. or any deadly virus is a bit scary

No horror movie has managed to keep me tense throughout the entire thing. Weird thing is, Courage the Cowardly Dog manages to not only keep me tense but also scare me at certain moments.
Steven King IT used to give me naightmare as a kid. Also films like Phantom and Bram Stoker Dracula still scare me to this day.
Eraserhead and The Blair Witch Project
If your roommates ever suggest to watch those back-to-back, decline and don't do it politely. I got absolutely no sleep that night. Those movies rekindled that whole childhood fear of the dark. Couldn't sleep well for a month.

Pulse (2006)
About a group of young adults who get killed because of their use of technology. I found it scary because of the way they died and the fact that they were systematically being taken out and their friends would be right there with nothing they could do. A whole neighborhood was killed off in about a week and only one guy in a penthouse survived by destroying all his phones, computers, machines, internet, and only had his TV with static and lighting rocking back and forth to himself.

I usually laugh at the gorier efforts like Saw, and I usually find horror movies create the most irritating/ unlikeable characters ever to kill off. And the fact that you KNOW they're all going to get killed off makes most horror movies I see dull and predictable.
However, the most recent one that I can remember being scared by afterward was The Usual Suspects. I know it's not techincally a scary film, but the concept of Keyser Soze gave me chills. Especially when I didn't go to bed until 2am. And you know what it's like at 2am after watching something a bit unnerving and thought-provoking: either every pipe in the house decides to clunk loudly at some point in the night, or in my case, foxes decide to scream outside my window just as I'm beginning to calm down.

Locusts: The 8th Plague. LOOK AT THE TERRIFYING AND CONVINCINGLY-DRAWN LOCUSTS!
(If you're looking for a proper "so bad it's good" film, you need to see this. Especially see it with friends.)
In actuality, I've never seen a proper "horror" film. You may mock but I don't see the appeal of the adrenaline rush you're supposed to get. Scariest thing I've ever watched was the Doctor Who Empty Child episodes (it was a TV two-parter, that's roughly the same length as a film, hence it counts!).
[small]The guy who wrote it now writes the series. *cry*[/small]
EDIT: For films, I just got reminded of A Clockwork Orange. That was creepy as all hell.

Jayzis.
I see mention of the derivation of the word "martyr" from the Greek word for "witness", which is rather interesting as the two are the same word in Arabic and that does make me wonder how far back the connection goes.

Regarding "counting velociraptors" ... I don't know. Do you want to read it?

There's a different kind of scary, but I think it belongs in the scary thread, not here.
Nightmare on elm street
the scene where the guy got blenderized by his own bed freaked me right the fuck out
ended up being so scared I slept with a (cosplay) sword in my bed for about a week just incase freddy was real...
I love horror movies but to this day I still refuse to watch anything classed as a "slasher" film

Most films I find scary always fizzle out towards the end.
For example, I loved Jeepers Creepers up until the damn monster shows up unclothed and in full monster form at the end, then it devolves into a basic "monster is here, run that way" thing whereas before it had been awesome.
If pressed, I'd have to say EITHER "Haunting in Connecticut" or the remake of "Nightmare on Elm Street".
