Now, this is a very interesting topic because I'm also a huge movie buff and a huge horror/scifi fan. Someone of my age can remember being scared to death by the classics - Karloff's Mummy and Frankenstein, anything starring Vincent Price, etc. But when I showed these films to my kids at the same age I was when I saw them, they were bored to death. Such a shame.
That being said, there's only one movie I can think of that scared the hell out of me as a kid in its original version, and whose remake scared me just as much (if not more) as an adult - War of the Worlds. I hope the Tom Cruise version is the one you meant in your first post. I especially liked pointing out to my kids that Gene Barry, who played the part in the original that Tom Cruise played in the remake, had a cameo appearance at the very end of the remade version. Classy, and and bitter-sweet too, to see Gene Barry at such an old age.
