Definitely "Salem's Lot" for my scariest. I read it when I was fifteen, finishing at something like two or three in the morning. The light stayed on the rest of the night. We had no curtains on our windows, as that side of the house faced out into the woods.
The fact that that part of my parents' house still has no curtains still bothers me -- have this vision of vampiric children's faces rising up outside... shiver!!!
