When I was younger, clowns used to scare me a lot, so that clown from IT freaked me out a lot. I still haven't seen that movie in a long time now, although I think due to de-sensitization, I can probably watch it without creeping out now.
Horror movies don't really creep me out as much anymore. It seems like the monsters themselves aren't that scary/threatening anymore (unless you're easily scared or young). What usually makes them scary now is the atmosphere they're in, whether an old mansion, a house in the middle of the woods/nowhere, or being on a vessel with some weird thing.

Slightly OT, but Horror games are still good for a scare though on me. I guess it does because it's sometimes unpredictable, and if you screw something up, you could die as well (not like screw up like in the movies). Plus you can generally fight back somehow. I hated how in movies they never pick up something to fend themselves with, like a rock or a branch.
I hated waking up in my room in Silent Hill 4, and having the controller immediately rumble on me because something nearby was haunted, such as the phone ringing with a voice saying "I am watching you", or hearing a child cry, but you can't see the child anywhere.
That ghost boss in Fatal Frame 2 also creeped me out initially. Anytime he appeared, the screen would change from color to old grainy black & white, and if he touched you, you insta-died. The fact that he appears in an area where you had limited room to maneuver didn't help. But his "scariness" factor went down when I had to re-do that area for the 6th, 7th, etc, time.
That lady that falls from the ceiling while uttering a painful moan is still creepy to me though, and I never entered that area she's in after figuring out a way around the room.
