Who scares you?

[Jigsaw Killer]

The Crypt Keeper from the Tales From The Crypt show scared me so bad as a kid. He was my worst childhood fear.

Showing my age here but i was scared shitless when i was a toddler watching `Paulus the Woodland Gnome`,and the evil witch.

Dont suppose anyone remembers it or rather that i`m too old.:(

Mater Tenebrarum aka Mother Of Darkness in Inferno-she still scares me even today :)

I don't actually remember being afraid of him but my mother tells me that I would run and hide until his intro was over because he scared me so much.

I do, however, remember Chucky from Child's Play scaring me- I've always hated dolls thanks to him. Intellectually, I think that Freddy Krueger also scared me because he's not an easy monster to fight off.

Interestingly, Kevin Yagher did effects work on all three of these characters. He designed the Crypt Keeper, did Freddy's make-up in Nightmares 2-4 and he also did Chucky in every Child's Play film except for Seed Of Chucky. Seems Yagher specializes in characters that terrify children and scar their childhoods.

Sister Ruth from The Black narcissus gave me nightmares growing up, Kathleen Byron did 'deranged' rather well!

This is a good one.

1. Freddy Krueger - From the first movie. I watched this when I was too young. I didn't want to go to sleep. The remake did nothing close to this. I fell asleep during the remake.

2. Michael Myers - From the original Halloween. Another movie I watched as a kid. Michael Myers is the boogeyman. The ending when he still isn't dead and the breathing and music scared me to death.

3. Asami Yamazaki from Audition. I've met people like this. Never would I imagine the twist that occurred in the movie. That's the scary part.

4. Jason. There have been times when I haven't been scared of Jason. However, to this day if I'm in a forest I will not bring up Jason and try my best not to think about him. Once he actually entered by dreams and it was no joke not being able to escape and getting an axe to the head.
