I'll third The Mist. I once drove for 2 hours through very dense fog, and by the time I got home I was terrified. I've never seen fog that was that dense for 60 miles straight.
I'll add King's short story The Moving Finger to the list. Terrified me when I first read it (I was about 11 or so). Fifteen years later, I live in a house built in the 1920s, and the heating vents have very large square openings, and I just keep picturing a finger making it's way through our ducts, popping out of a vent, and wrapping around my room to grab my ankle. I don't know why that's scary, but trust me, it is.
