Sharks. My mum let me watch Jaws at a very young age and i am still afraid of swimming in the sea and even swimming pools... i know of course there are no great whites cruising around the UK coast and swimming pools, i know its an irrational fear but its still there when ever I'm in the water.

Salems Lot and Pet Sematary.

This when I was about 8. No watershed in those days! Plus the terrifying 'safety' public service information adverts. Some were very grisly!

The opening credits for an ITV series called Armchair Thriller.
Around 1977 or 1978? Terrifying.
