Scary movies don't generally scare me much but I hate gory things so I try to avoid them. Psychological scary movies tend to get to me more. It's not like I was scared exactly after these but that they stuck with me in a slightly creepy way. A few that come to mind:

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (which I saw at 5 or 6 because my dad is like that)
Psycho
The Shining
Blaire Witch Project
Silence of the Lambs

Event Horizon
Cat's Eye
The Hills Have Eyes
Last House on the Left
Jeepers Creepers

mrsnorris I feel you on the psychological thrillers. I'm a therapist, and movies like Gothica are a little too much for me.

I gotta watch the strangers now! I love scaring the shit out of myself. DH hates scary movies so I'll have to see it alone or wait to be with a friend or my sis lol

I'm such a wuss (is that a PA Dutch term too? = weenie) when it comes to scary movies, I stopped watching them a long time ago!

Saw - Watched 15 min. of one of them about 5 years ago. AHHHHHH!!!!!
It - Watched at a sleepover in my early teens...to this day I hate clowns.
Pet Cemetery - Didn't watch it but read most of the book.

That is screwed up...Poor Babe!  I'm so happy she found a wonderful family with you and DW.

But no circus for her...ever; that's OK I always view circuses as a venue for animal abuse anyway.  Even if I weren't terrified of clowns I would never support the circus by buying a ticket.
