I read that people were scared of going to the beach after Jaws came out in the summer of 1975.

The Blair Witch.
I knew a doctor who was convinced it was real. I only made a weak effort to correct him. :)

I just saw Deliverance. I bet that movie did for kayaking what Jaws did for going to the beach. Scary stuff.

Phantom of the Menace. Everybody hated George Lucas after that sh!tshow. And yes, Phantom of the Menace is a horror show!

Probably The Exorcist, which may've started the phrase..."the Devil made him do it".

Silence of the Lambs. I haven't gone anywhere without a flashlight since.
