Sorry I'm late! I read the trilogy for the first time when I was about ten. The Ringwraiths would come into my room every night for weeks, and the only thing that maybe protected me was throwing the covers over my head - I don't know why they couldn't get me that way - and maybe they did and this is all a nasty negative reality.

The Black Riders chasing the hobbits all over the Shire then Bree right up to the Fords of Bruinen set me shivering.

Frodo's vision of the one eye on Amon Hen freaked me out, and so did Shelob. One real big scare that nobody else has mentioned yet is when Frodo and Sam (was Gollum with them?) were sneaking their way up toward Cirith Ungol and the Witch King and his armies come marching forth from Minas Morgul. I was so scared they were gonna get caught!
