Fargo is great, but it’s not a horror movie. I think for a movie to really be considered a horror movie it should have some paranormal element to it.
Have you seen the Halloween series? It was big from '78 to about '96. I was 9 in 1993 when I saw Halloween 4 and 5. The 6th one didn't come out for another few years.
I saw it in high school and there is this scene where a character's hand is grabbing at a wood floor so hard that their fingernail snaps off. It's not a theatrical nail break, it's gruesome.
A few that affected me for years. I don't find pure "Horror" as scary as Suspense/Thriller films like the following.
The Hills Have Eyes[remake]: The scene with the family in their RV at night.
Hostel: Most intense movie ever. I was literally on the edge of my seat when the main character was trying to escape from the place. Only movie where my heart rate was probably elevated to 160 bpm for over a half hour.
The Exorcist: Watched that at home alone at night for the first time and the scene where she suddenly appears walking down the stairs upside-down on all fours ....
Other Eli Roth movies besides Hostel: Tusk, Cabin Fever, Green Inferno.
Saw a new-ish movie Unhinged with Russel Crowe found it quite intense.
Actually surprised someone said this, thought it was one of the lesser known horror movies. Someone put this on when I was a kid and the gore just freaked me out.

The one horror movie that has stuck with me since 1993 (I was 9 at the time) was Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers. Myers breaks out of jail because a random guy in a trenchcoat (the Man in Black, no relation to Will Smith a decade later) blew up a police station and killed tons of innocent cops. Luckily in Halloween 6 the MIB dies--at the hands of Myers.
Even though it was a dumb B-grade horror flick, it still scares the hell out of me when I get to that part--police were under-gunned in 1989 when this was made and had no response to a killer with an M4/M16 breaking him out--it was a slaughter.
Have you seen "Halloween VI: The Curse Of Michael Myers - Producer's Cut"?
This version finishes out the ending of Part 5 perfectly.
Very disturbing movie...
I saw Halloween 6 in theaters while I was in high school. I remember the day pretty clearly and I remember we were all kind of bored with it, to be honest. I guess we are all triggered by different things. I did hear about a producers cut which I never did get around to seeing. Horror films in the early 90's were more interesting than scary (Leprechaun, Pet Sematary Two, Dr. Giggles, Hellraiser III, Warlock, Innocent Blood, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Jason Goes To Hell).
I do remember the movie Kids being the only one that put us on edge, and it wasn't even a horror film!

Similar feelings, I was in sixth or seventh grade when I saw it. Spooked the hello out of me, still one of my favorite movies. Been meaning to check out the Candyman from a year or two ago.
