The main ones I can still remember are:
Spontaneous human combustion - I just knew I was going to burst into flames as a kid.
Exorcist - duh!
The clown in the movie Poltergeist.
Toys after dark - my mom used to tell my brothers and I that toys became the devil's after dark and if we played with them, the devil would be able to possess us. Dang Catholics!!!
Screaming and fighting cats in the dead of night. Those sounds used to paralyze me with fear as a kid. Cats are really creepy.
The 70s movie "Blood on Satan's Claw." I still have a clear vision of that young woman's clawed and hairy hand on the banister. ACK!!
Evil little people like imps or goblins that live in people's homes. I saw a show (similar to Twilight Zone) about a family moving into a new house with a little door. The little door belonged to a mean imp or goblin that sucked the life energy from kids. Or something like that. I might be mixing up a few shows/movies about similar topics, but they all freak me out.
I was also terrified of biscuit cans. Still am, in fact. Everytime I start unwrapping one, I think it's going to blow up in my face.
The movie "The Ring" also scared me pretty good recently.
