Fellowship of the Ring: I was eleven when this movie came out and I have to say it's definitely a tie between the Fellowship trying to escape the Balrog and Lurtz. The character of Lurtz gave me nightmares for weeks. Also, the scene with Bilbo trying to take the ring from Frodo is terrifying. To this day, I still can't bear to watch it.

Two Towers: Not sure if it's necessarily "scary" but the scene in the movie right before the battle of Helm's Deep where the orcs are just beating their spears on the ground had me on the edge of my seat. If you're talking about "scary" in the clinical sense, I think the Dead Marshes is one of the eeriest scenes out there.

Return of the King: Shelob's lair without a doubt. I'm slightly arachnophobic and I cringe every time that scene comes on.
