I watched the Star Trek episode, Charlie X, and felt kinda silly that young me was so freaked out by one scene. When Charlie hears people off camera and says, "NO LAUGHING!" A faceless girl feels her way around the wall and I was scared poop-less. Seeing it now showed just how bad the no-face mask was. Its almost laughably bad.
Another TV moment that seemed sooooo gruesome when I was kid happened staying up late to watch a Night Stalker rerun. Carl is looking into cases of spontaneous combustion when they showed a crispy victim, I believe on a poolside lounge chair. I had never seen so gruesome a sight! Now it seems a bit silly to have been so scared by it, but I was scarred nonetheless.
Another time I paid the price for staying up late was seeing a re-showing of Bad Ronald on the late movie. We moved almost every year when I was kid, so that just made it all the more likely we'd move into a place where the previous kid might still be living behind the walls. How I ever was scared by some Horshak-looking villain is beyond me, but at midnight... That said, I think would make a great rebooot.
