The winner is unequivocally Zelda from Pet Semetary. She still haunts my dreams. That movie remains the most haunting and depressing nightmare I’ve ever seen.

But as a younger child I’d add the wolf from Neverending Story or the Wheelers and Headless Witch from Return to Oz.

This is a great one. I remember being terrified of this dude when I was a small child:




Then he became one of my favorite movie characters of all time:




Yes, I know BTTF was before Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but as a kid I watched them in different order.

Does the Thriller video count? I was terrified of that as a kid.

I've mentioned this before in other threads but the killer in "The Town That Dreaded Sundown" scared the living shite out of me. I watched this when cable TV had just come our and I was around 13 and had no business sneaking late at night to watch this. Because it's based on a true story (loosely) I thought the killer was going to get me.



To this day I have no desire to watch this 1976 film.

1) Chucky (mainly because he looked exactly like the My Buddy doll I had as a kid)

2) Wicked Witch from Wizard of Oz

3) Pennywise from It

I watched the world premier on TV at my buddy's house as a kid, and Thriller frickED. ME. UP.

Lots of good ones mentioned already, so I'll throw out one that hasn't been. This fricker right here:






The Poltergeist clown fricked me up good too.

Damn near everything Dorothy encounters in Return to Oz is straight up nightmare fuel. The faces in the rocks used to freak me out too as did the idea of being turned into a decoration for the Nome King. Being introduced to electric shock therapy as a kid was pretty frightening too.

Not a kids film
I caught it on tv when I was 6.

I remember watching the Terminator when I was 4, that was one of the first ones I remember seeing in life. Arnold/T800 skeleton was terrifying but awesome at the same time.

I could never watch the scene in the peewee movie with the lady trucker or whatever she was where she was kind of telling him a spooky story and then made her face do all kinds of bulgy wacky shite

Her and Judge Doom were the only people to legit scare me as a kid.

But I didn't mention her earlier because I don't consider her a villain.
