The only one I could have supported from this batch is The Birds. That one shot of the woman with her eyes pecked out scared the crap out of me when I was a kid.
And I know I've seen Tourist Trap, but I just don't remember it...
I was THIS close to voting for The Wicker Man myself. The ending was truly terrifying.
Here's an early scene:

Serves him right!
Tourist Trap is a masterpiece.
The Children. It messed with the Young Myself.
'The Wicker Man' is a solid gold, bona fide classic with a genuine sense of disquieting eeriness but I dunno if it actually really ever scared me. The folk music and nekkidness made quite an impression on me, though.
I was the lone Tourist Trap vote. Saw it for the first time a couple of years ago, and six minutes in - SIX MINUTES - I was broken.
Heh. Looks like I was also the lone Wicker Man vote. :P The ending still gets me.
A 1970s movie with a Wicker Man type ending that I considered but ultimately left off my list was "Race the Devil." ... When Hot Lips' RV got surrounded at the end, I was pretty freaked out.
Why is that lady holding Jessica Fletcher's severed head???
