What Scared you as a kid?

Toccata and Fugue in D Minor.

Even now I find it somewhat difficult to play the first case of Justice for All with the sound on. :<
 
Stupidly enough, old movie stop motion.

And it still creeps me out to this day.

(Oh and that Ichabod cartoon at the end with the headless horseman)

The Paper Mario one or the Kirby one?
I thinking he's referring to the Kirby one, but they're both the same thing...so yeah..

Chauncey from Luigi's Mansion
Chauncey never scared me honestly, he's unsettling and threatning..but he's not that scary.
 
When I was little, that super loud THX sound effect that played right before movies always scared me. Whenever I was seeing a movie in a theater and I heard it I'd always jump under the seats and hide. :x
 
when i was little i was scared of losing at video games so i would just watch my mother play them

i was also scared of the dark but im way over that now i can roam around outside at night with no flashlight i dont care like if yall monsters or w/e bout to kill me just do it at least i wont have to take that calculus test on thursday
 
These two things;

tornadoes from the movie twister.... I mean I guess thats a legit fear though since it could kill you...
 
I always was afraid of falling asleep near a window. My cousin told me once that one day the world would flood and everyone would die, so I avoided putting my bed near the window.
I was also afraid of the dark. I had a constant fear that I would be kidnapped.
Also, ants freaked me out because of some bad experiences with them.

That one freaking level from super mario sunshine where the stupid electric sting ray would get smaller and smaller the more you killed it. God I hated the level so much and it freaked me out for so long. It took my brother and I a few months before finally getting the sunshine.
Also King Boo in that casino level with the purple button on the gambling spinny thing. He came out so sudden.
Basically that entire Seirra Beach or w/e it was called. Those ghosts were kinda scary lol. Opening the portal with Yoshi was a pain to figure out, too.

Luigi's mansion was scary for me as a child as well. It's still a game that I would rather watch someone play than play myself. Not because it's scary now, but because I still suck at it and panic when the ghosts attack me.

Since I'm still on the topic of games that scared me, the dodoDodoDodoDO levels in SMS scared me too...the browser game over would appear and just remind me how much I sucked at that game.

Chucky

Child's Play 2, not the boy from Rugrats.

THIS. I literally couldn't go into movie rental stores as a kid because even just seeing the movie cover would literally terrify me. I didn't get over that fear for a long time. And it was even more irrational and weird because I'd never even seen the movie.
 
Walking With Dinosaurs. The mosasaurus. To this day I am afraid of water. Funny, since swimming dinosaurs are my favorite, but also scare the everloving crap out of me!
 
I used to be terrified of snakes and spiders, now I love snakes and I'm alright with spiders as long as they aren't on my body when I don't want them. I like tarantulas and jumping spiders a lot, especially jumping spiders, have you see them close up? They have the most expressive eyes.
 
When I was a kid I was terrified of the movie dinosaurs even now I cringe at just the mentioning of it, I'm not sure why I mean Jurassic Park doesn't even phase me but for some reason this movie creeps me out.

Ah, I used to love that series :D

Mosasaurus was pretty freaky though

The animation was pretty unsettling, I could see how it would have scared someone, the toys really bothered me too. My mom got my this squishy silicone feelings toy of one of them, and I am not sure it was because of how it was painted or what but it's face was terrifying. I kind of repressed that movie for most of my life. I remember watching it and being freaked out by the animation though...

Another thing I was freaked out by was X-Files, I have always feared aliens, and when I would just hear the beginning of the music I would bolt to my room. Now I know how awesome of a show it is though and feel bad that I missed out earlier in life.

I know right the animation is probably what got to me. It was really scary for me and my twin. We normally aren't afraid of the same things so maybe it felt more scary than it should have been since she was scared too. I'm sorry your mom got you a toy from the movie, I don't think I could have handled having a toy from that movie anywhere near me XD

Yeah, it was more scary because it felt like skin with the weird rubber outside and it was all squishy, like an organ or something, it was really gross and terrible, I am pretty sure I intentionally broke it so she would throw it away.
 
My mother had a glass cabinet displaying her collection of the vintage Kewpie dolls in the dining area.

These guys scared me to death when I was around 4-6 years old. I would always try to avoid the dining room as much as possible.
Funny how I think they are so creepily cute now... They sure do look squishy and evil, don't they? ʘ‿ʘ

That sounds really icky.
