Definitely my number-one! Still gives me the creeps, at age 19!
I'm 28 and I agree with you. It's both still my #1 and it never leaves you. I don't think there's a single other figure in Disney's entire animated repertoire scarier than Maleficent is in that scene. Her and the suggestion of her through just her voice.
The rest of my list -
Top 10 Spookiest / Scariest / Most Intense Disney Moments:
2. (Not a movie, but I think I can get away with this) "Grim Girnning Ghosts," the song
3. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="

The Rescuers Read-Along. Especially the scene from 2:17-4:45. This used to scare the ever-loving HELL out of me as a kid!! The way the narrator read "crocodiles" and the pictures of those glowing eyes and Medusa's ultra-shrill readings of the lines (this voice I think is scarier than Geraldine Page). Terrifying!
4. Ichabod's ride home (the build-up to the Headless Horseman scene) -
The Adventures of Ichabod & Mr. Toad
5. Maleficent "comforts" Phillip in his cell -
Sleeping Beauty / That shot of her face when she says "the years roll by" absolutely made me SHIVER as a kid, I used to try and scare myself just by rewinding that sequence over and over again.
6. "Come Little Children" -
Hocus Pocus
7. The "even walls have ears" moment -
Sleeping Beauty, because of that sequence, you don't really feel safe for the rest of the movie
8. Willie the Giant's eyes -
Fun in Fancy Free. Both the "peek-a-boo!!" moment during "Fee Fi Fo Fum," and the moment where Mickey is trying to tie his boot laces together and finds out Willie was only pretending to fall asleep.
9. The moment in Night on Bald Mountain where the ghosts fly out of the graves -
Fantasia.
10. The Lampwick transformation sequence -
Pinocchio, mostly because there's just nothing anyone can do. The kid is doomed.
