October 7th, 2010
Wow, you totally nailed that! Did you grow up in my house?? I could identify every single one of those as something that scared the shit out of me. Well done!

“Unsolved Mysteries” was THE MOST terrifying thing I recall being subjected to. My grandma really loved Lifetime.
And Hell. Yes. to Are You Afraid of the Dark.
October 11th, 2010
Yeah, Unsolved Mysteries, if I even heard the music, I would scream. Same with the cryptkeeper! I thought the truck scene in Pee-wee’s Big Adventure was scary, then I saw The Twilight Zone Movie, “You wanna see something really weird?”
October 14th, 2010
Oh, the Dark Crystal and Neverending Story! Now I’m feeling nostalgic….
December 10th, 2010
Can you please tell me the movie that picture 5 is from? I have been trying to find this movie FOREVER! But I can’t remember the name.
December 16th, 2010
Carol – that one is from Dark Crystal.
I’m totally drawing a blank on #2, though it is incredibly familiar.
December 18th, 2010
@BW – DUDE! That’s the Nothing from Neverending Story.
January 11th, 2011
@Jen – dude, the nothing is … nothing. The wolf thingie’s name is Gmork
January 25th, 2011
YES!!! Everything here STILL scares the sh*t out of me!!!

#5 is the Dark Crystal (Jim Henson)

“Skeskis”

They forgot Tales from the Darkside. The rest is spot on.
February 6th, 2011
Wooooow! I own half of those! <3 Good work. IT is one of my all time favs
March 15th, 2011
I watched Unsolved Mysteries all the time and it didn’t terrify me but it did creep me out sometimes.
They should add the Wicked Witch of the West…that was what scared me.
March 15th, 2011
Oh my god. Dead on for every single one. I thought I was the only kid who was completely traumatized by Unsolved Mysteries. Also, thanks a bunch for the picture of Pennywise–I’ll be sleeping with my lights on and avoiding Chinese food for the rest of the month.
March 24th, 2011
WOW! Nailed it!

The zombie lady coming at the screen in the opening montage for CHILLER THEATER!
April 29th, 2011
It’s not visually terrifying, but what about The Brave Little Toaster? Good God, that shit is far too terrifying to be called a kid’s movie. It scared the crap out of me when I was a kid.
May 2nd, 2011
What about He Who Kills from “Trilogy of Terror”? The flying steel sphere from “Phantasm”? That episode of “Night Gallery” with the earwig?
July 30th, 2011
I grew up in the 90s, this is what scared me:
1) furbies
2) Jurassic park
3) my mother
4) the spider infestation
;)
August 27th, 2011
Damn. The wolf from the Neverending Story still scared the shit out of me! I jumped.
October 27th, 2011
As a kid, whenever I would hear the theme music for Unsolved Mysteries or Sightings, I would take off running.
January 26th, 2012
Terrifying! I have one to add and that’s Judge Doom from Who Framed Roger Rabbit? I cried when I saw him, especially at the end!
January 31st, 2012
I agree, but have GOT to add Return To Oz, that freaked me right out
January 31st, 2012
I don’t see Freddy Krueger on there!
January 31st, 2012
OMG, this is so true! Unsolved Mysteries creeped me out from two rooms away and the Nothing was terribly frightening. Right on Jillian!
January 31st, 2012
The “Thriller” video scared the bajeezus out of me when I was about 4 years old haha. I was flattened against the wall in sheer terror
January 31st, 2012
You know, no matter how old you are, if you don’t think that the demonic possessed clown doll from Poltergeist is freaking terrifying, there’s something very, very wrong with you. And the same goes for the clown from “It!”
Chucky (from Child’s Play) should definitely be on this list. My grandmother gave me a Little Buddy doll for Christmas when I was about 8 or 9. It’s the only time I’ve cried upon opening a gift. I duct-taped it to a chair because I thought it would kill me in my sleep.
January 31st, 2012
I personally think they forgot olmec from legends of the hidden temple, but i guess thats just me…
January 31st, 2012
Pennywise the Clown still scares the crap out of me!!!
January 31st, 2012
My sister used to make me watch Unsolved Mysteries all the time. That gave me nightmares!
January 31st, 2012
The wolf from the Neverending Story always got me and I still can’t watch the Dark Crystal. You forgot – SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK – those books scared the shit out of me!!!
February 1st, 2012
Did anyone else ever watch Ernest Scared Stupid? That scene where the girl rolls over in bed to see the troll thing lying there? Haunted me for AGES.
February 1st, 2012
Gaah shit Gmork! I’ve been trying to FORGET that damn thing for 20 years!
February 1st, 2012
oh god, the unsolved mysteries theme was so scary! i thought it was just me. there’s new eps now but it’s not the same – different host (robert stack passed away) and the theme music is gone.
and yes coralie, judge doom scared the crap out of me too!
February 1st, 2012
I was a child of the 80′s and LOVED Unsolved Mysteries. As an adult, I bought all the episodes on DVD. I thought it was fascinating and unlike anything else on. What was soooo scary?!?!
February 1st, 2012
Large Marge sent me…
February 3rd, 2012
Wait, “Are You Afraid Of The Dark” was supposed to be scary?
February 3rd, 2012
Here’s what scared me as a kid:
-Family members snoring in the other room
-South Park (Kenny chewed a lady’s arm off!)
-Banzai Bills in Super Mario World
-High beam light indicators in cars (look kinda like this: =D)
-NES cartridges (?!)
-Oddly shaped reflections of light (why is there a < shape on the curtains?!!)
-My grandmother holding a hairbrush (she was brutal when brushing my hair!)
February 18th, 2012
Holy shit… i saw the picture of it and it terrified me… my dad never shouldve let me watch that as a nine-year-old.
