Honestly, for me, it's probably Poltergeist. I watched that movie waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too fuckin young, like, still in grade school, and television static STILL bugs tf out of me as a result
1st grade might be pretty early for that. But if by the time anyone in my school got to the 5th grade and hadn't seen every non-R-rated horror movie (and many R-rated ones too) the ridicule they'd get would be more traumatizing than any scary movie. I'm not saying that's good, quite the opposite. Just that it's crazy to me to think of grade school as being too young for something as tame as Poltergeist. I watched it repeatedly around 2nd and 3rd grade. It did scare the piss out of me at first, but I really liked it.
(On a side note, there is some very strange and tragic events that happened regarding that movie in real life, not the least of which being what happened to the actress who played Carol-Anne. CW if anyone looks further into it, child neglect, death, etc.)
I think I was like 7, so that tracks. Like, TV static imprinted on my mind in a way that the likes of Jason, Freddy, or Pinhead couldn't come close to. (I do still adore the first four Hellraiser movies, though.) The happenstances around the real-world production are fuckin nutty though.
