For me it was Event Horizon, that was scary as hell when I was a kid, I had nightmares for months.

This! The original one.

I dreamt that the white dog/wolf jumped over me and my midsection spasmed and it jerked me awake.

Also, Arachnophobia was terrifying! I felt that it was where my fear of crawling insects came from. Because when I was younger, I was not afraid of catching spiders as large as my tiny hands.

the original

Oh yeah, there's a remake now, huh? I, too, mean the original lol

Arachnophobia I saw when I was a little older, and thought it would scare me (since I hate spiders) but it was actually kind of funny.

yeah, looking back, I'm surprised that it affected me that much. You never really know what could trigger a lifelong change in your state of mind. Specially wen you think about it. I have actual first hand experience of catching a spider, yet a movie with made up scenarios made me not trust my experience and drove me to be afraid of spiders for probably the rest of my life.
