What was the first scary movie you saw? How old were you?

I can tell you this thread is mighty scary, when someone saw Poltergeist in the first grade, and I saw that movie when it came out and I was...a lot older than first grade.

Anyway, this is embarrassing, but it was The Wizard of Oz. The tornado was strike 1, as I lived in a state with a lot of them. Strike 2: The flying monkey guards. Strike 3: Dorothy throwing water on the witch and she melted. It was a hella long time after that before I'd take any more than a cursory bath.

I understand the movie is a "classic", but it even creeps me out today.
