Which horror movie frightened you the most?

Because it was based on a true story, it has to be The Exorcist for me. I've never seen it since or any other film in the same vein. But did certain films with a supernatural theme based on real events make you take on a new perspective on the unknown?

Wes Craven said that freddy Kruger was based on an article about a Cambodian family coming to America to escape mass genocide in the Killing Fields. They made it to the United States, and all was fine until the young boy in the family was terrified to sleep because he felt that if he slept, he would be killed by something chasing him. He forced himself to stay awake for days at a time, and eventually, he died in the middle of a nightmare.
