That's really the only time I was scared/startled during the movie.

That one horrified me as a kid and I had nightmares, but it didn't scare me as much when I re-watched it as an adult.

I had a similar experience with House of Leaves. My wife had fallen asleep one night and I was reading it in the living room with all the lights on, but I had my back to the stairs to our basement/lower level (I live in a split level) and I got so creeped out at one point that I literally could no longer sit with my…
