Stephen King quotes this book at the start of 'Salem's Lot. So it looks like I'll have to reread it soon.

You simply need my landlady's tree! I didn't think I was spooked, y'know? And then I awoke to that scratching tree, mwahahahahaha!

There are very few films that scare me. Except Asian horror films. I think because of the language barrier, but also their settings seems more realistic than those of American and British films. The Blair Witch Project also scared me, at least the first time I saw it. Which was due to the abrupt ending; you're full of adrenaline about what you see and the possibilities what will happen next and then it ends, without a real ending and you're still all amped up.
I can also remember seeing a bit of a horror film when I was 7, it was black and which and the scene I saw was set in a long hallway and there was a mirror involved. I've no idea which film it was, but that little clip I saw scared me terribly. But not so much that it scared my love of horror away.

I remember a woman at our stable, who said that she'd had to leave Jurassic Park, because she was terrified of the dinosaurs (during the T-Rex scene with the kids in the car). I was positively gobsmacked. I've been grossed out at movies, yes. But I've never had to leave a film due to it actually
SCARING me. OTOH,
Salem's Lot scared me, so who am I to laugh?
I don't think I can recall another book that did. I can definitely remember movies that did when I was a kid, though!
