For me it was Event Horizon, that was scary as hell when I was a kid, I had nightmares for months.
Honestly? ET scared little me more than it probably should have! That little bastard could pop up anywhere and looked even creepier when he was sick.
Hate that guy.
Apparently it was originally supposed to be a horror movie but don’t quote me, haven’t checked

You can’t control me!
It seems you’re right.
Spielberg was apparently planning a horror film called Night Skies that didn’t get made but material was supposedly reused for ET.
100% agree, this was going to be my answer. I still occasionally have night terrors about him and I’m in my mid-30s.
You’re so right about how creepy he looked when he was sick - all pale and white like a 1980s dog poo.
My brother! It didn’t help that a family member made a E.T. lamp with light up eyes, finger tip, and heart. It flickered. And my parents put it next to my bed. I remember hiding under the sheets from it.
Mom had the gall to gift it to me for a house warming present lol. Its in a box….somewhere.
