So this actually scared you the first time you saw it? For me, since I didn't initially see it in the theater, hearing about the movie from friends and the way they described it scared me more than the actual movie. They didn't go into any kind of detail other than the plot about this 'Boogeyman' that kills people in their sleep. Even back then I was a stickler for spoilers so I didn't know much so that when I eventually saw it, I was still in the dark.
