Mine was Child's Play when I was 7.

Though by then, I was a little familiar with scary things from trying to play Doom and the like, so it was just a couple nights of bad sleep. Not that I wasn't a little scaredy cat. Took me in to my teens to beat Doom without cheat codes.

nope. I still hate ventriloquist dummies and similar things because of that film.

I remember saying, "I don't get why people are afraid of dolls!" before my parents tried to shoo me out of the room just to concede because I could articulate interest in a scary thing.

I definitely wasn't saying that after watching Child's Play! The funniest thing to me is, I rewatched it a couple years back, and... it's not very scary by today's standards. It almost boring since it relies on a lot of natural suspense and atmosphere that doesn't quite work when you're not feeling the suspense so much.
