Another Perfect Day
I first saw The Shining when I was twelve. I hadn't had much trouble with the movie; I was creeped out, but I closed my eyes over the freakiest parts.
That is, until the end, when Wendy is looking for Danny and seeing ghosts in every room. When that guy in the dog-suit showed up, I jumped right out to my feet, ran out of the room, and didn't come back until I was sure he was gone.
I've got two guns pointed west and a broken compass.
Brony? Moi? surely you jest!
Before I started watching horror films, the scene in the begining of Lord Of The Rings retun of the king showing Smeagol's slow transformation into Gollum creeped me out.

The scene with the father and the daughter hiding from the roving eye tube thing in Speilbergs War of the Worlds.
A chub from the Grant Corporation
The whole scene on the alien ship in Fire In The Sky. It’s not technically a horror movie, I was an adult when I watched it and I don’t even believe in alien abduction stories, but I had a few sleepless nights where I kept having visions of being tractor-beamed aboard an alien ship. Brrr!

Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883!
DUMB
The scene where Ash dies in Alien. I thought the titular monster was cool rather than scary, but I have sort of a phobia of tonic-clonic seizures, so I freaked.

The scene with the Man Behind Winkies in Mulholland Drive.
Best Jump Scare ever.

You can get what you want and still not be very happy.
That freaking monkey.
Aliens, every time they would be alone in a corridor, you could just feel the dread and horror.
It's not exactly naive. And it can happen. But it's tough. And definetly worthwhile.
Platypus!
Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Judge Doom. "JUST!LIKE!THIS!" Then again, I was five.
Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.
A Tale Of Two Sisters. When Su-mi follows the blood trail. Also when Su-yeon is locked up. Basically, after a certain point the whole movie was terrifying as hell, but these two moments stood out.
And if anime counts... Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni — that scene from episode 21. That line "If you say sorry 1000 times, I'll let her go" is what broke me. The rest of it was pretty damn scary too, but that line is the exact moment that scene made me a quivering wreck.

Sneering Imperialist
The scene in Alien when Dallas is snatched.
With cannon shot and gun blast smash the alien. With laser beam and searing plasma scatter the alien to the stars.

That and Ash's death. Also, every single frame in The Thing.
Jesus as in Revelations
If anime counts, The End Of Evangelion was one of the creepiest shit I've ver seen.
But Tetsuo The Iron Man was probably the most... horrifying...

I Am The Walrus
In a theatre: the final scene in Quarantine. I don't get scared much but that scared the shit out of me. I will defend the film from its detractors solely on the effectness of the ending.
As a child: E.T.'s screaming.
As an teenager/adult: a tie between the tree rape in The Evil Dead and the scenes in Hellraiser where the Cenobites are skinless (I was eating lunch while watching it and almost threw up because it was so disgusting).
The only major thing that's scared me through all these years: the old Tri Star Pictures opening with the dark background, the creepy Dave Grusin music and early CGI pegasus (yeah, THAT one). Whether the film is Labyrinth or The Monster Squad or Red Heat or The Doors or even Look Who's Talking, I need to fast forward through the logo because it scares me so much.

At the time, Darkness Falls had several scenes which freaked me right the hell out. Actually watched it a week ago with some buddies for nostalgia, and it was terrible.

The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.
Street Writing Man
Agreed with those who mentioned Alien. That movie scared the ever-loving shit out of me. Granted, I was about seven when I saw it...but my parents found me quivering in a closet with a pocket-knife and a baseball bat after watching.
Scariest scene; when the short-haired white girl dies. She's weeping as the alien closes in on her, and something about her pathos frightened me.
Again, I was seven and shit's changed since then. But goddamn, H.R. Geiger (and Ridley Scott, for that matter) know how to fill a set of trousers.
If I were to write some of the strange things that come under my eyes they would not be believed. ~Cora M. Strayer~
I bring it up all the time, but seriously, the opening scene of M. Pure, undiluted Adult Fear that goes right for the gut. The mom's terrified cries for her daughter Elsie who will never come back will get you whether you have (or even wanted to have) kids or not.
Neal Cassady died for your sins!
As odd as it is, I'll second the Tristar pegasus. Horses in general have always given me the creeps. Those faces...
Some others:
The entire Pale Man scene from Pans Labyrinth. The build-up, in particular, was so well done that the thing is scariest when it's just sitting there, perfectly still.
And, of course, the videotape from The Ring.
As a kid, I simply could not watch E.T. because of the scenes where he and Elliot meet. Just too damn much for my little head.

I dont rememeber any movie scaring me. Ever.
Kinda sad, I would actually like to get legimatilly scared. It seems like fun 
.
but definitivily NO CHEAP TACTICS (Aka like the Screamers and such).
"That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death itself may die."
Brony? Moi? surely you jest!
I just saw 28DaysLater recently, and the scene where Jim is walking around the empty city is so creepy!

I'd say any scene that either shows teeth being ripped out or implied such action taking place would absolutely terrify me to the point of leaving the room.
There's a very real reason for this, though. Last year I had a lot of teeth pulled surgically (long story short, getting them pulled and replaced with partial plate dentures was cheaper than root canals and crowns) and I quite vividly remember the pain that followed the operation for a good month and a half. Seeing teeth being ripped out in movies kinda makes me flash back, in a sense.
Exactly What It Says on the Tin
for me it was in the original Night Of The Living Dead when that cute little girl stabbed her own mother to death and chowed down on her father's arm ...yeesh.
That scene both got me interested in and scared me away from horror at the same time.
