When i was a kid i remember two episodes of the X-Files that really freaked me out for a few days after seeing them, they were Darkness Falls and Toombs. I think what made them so scary to me was that i read the novelizations first before i saw the episodes.
Edit
Didn't sleep with the light on though, the only way to overcome fear is to face it.

Hmm. There've been no books that have had that effect on me. No games either.
The two things that stole my sleep were derived from the same source material: The War of The Worlds. The 50s Pendragon film and the musical version by Jeff Wayne (Which I now love, by the way). They would've been experienced around the same time and I was probably warned, but as for the musical, the cover art looks awesome. How could the child-me not give it a listen? Then the film was on at some point and, again, I was warned.
That film made me terrified of lamp posts for weeks. Lamp posts for fuck sake. And I hid under the covers for ages, for fear of some crazy alien camera thing coming in through the window.
*Last minute edit*Oh, and Poltergeist. What ever drove me to watch that film. We had a row of conifers at the back of our garden. I once again took to hiding under the sheets with the curtains closed in case one of the buggers tried to grab me...

The first three Silent Hill games were always scary to me.
I remember having a marathon session, going through all 3 with a friend a couple of days before the movie came out. After the games and the movie, we had a bad thunderstorm, and the storm sirens went off. Needless to say, I was quite unnerved.

First thought: FU man, FU!!!!Ickorus said:
))) That scared the shit out of me!!!!Second thought: Ypeeee, now I can scare all of my friends!
And to answer the OP, the american version of The Ring. I don't know why... And yes, I had already seen a ton of Japanese and Thai horror movies (including the original Ringu). But that movie freaked totally freaked me out. I don't know, maybe long haired asian girls are much too close to my sexual fantasies. Just the fact that they're, you know, dead, doesn't suddenly make them scary. Unappealing, but not scary

OT: They. The bone snappy noises and body horror always get me. Though some reason Splinter didn't get me nearly as bad. Maybe because it didn't have anyone pulling a foot long spike from their head telling the audience any of them might have one too.
all those doctor who episodes that featured the weeping angels, that scared the sh!t out of me. the speratic juming of locations just made me jump.
hopefully this spoiler tab works but if not well bugger for all of you
