This. This shit from "An American Tale" is freaking me out! Its movements, its sounds - everything! A rolling friggin' nightmare!
It's called the Giant Mouse of Minsk, if you wanna look it up.

I'm as glad as hell that Alucard from hellsing isn't real if not I would probably sleep with a nuke under my pillow each night

Ill be afraid of this guy :

yup, we cant see him. The old ones!
They exist not from the waking world, and not in the dream world, but in between. Worse, it was suggested its as big as a house and hell! Its a brother of cthulu! But even the great god cthulu cannot see them!
Fear the old ones!

this is going to sound super weird but for like 6 whole years i was terrified of that creepypasta squidwards suicide image?? i still hate it and avoid looking at it at all costs. i used to get super bad paranoia about my tv turning on at night and that image being on it or seeing something like that at the end of a hallway at night.
i think that's the only thing that had me really paranoid for a long time.

I hate the imps in rule of rose, that game gave me nightmares for years

Bloodyface (the original one) from American Horror Story: Asylum. That unnerved me quite a bit when it was revealed that the psychologist was the same guy who killed the lesbian woman's (can't think of her name at the moment) lover and had both a disgusting necrophilia fetish and a creepy mommy fetish on top of that. No wonder the modern day Bloodyface turned out the way he did.

Also Kilgrave from Jessica Jones and not just because of his status as an avatar of rape culture. Its how disgusting he is as a human being that is not giving any thought to what he tells people to do i.e when he casually tells people to kill themselves or kill someone else to essentially cover his own ass (not that he'd have a problem with authority given his power) or how they may actually feel in a given situation (his power makes people emotionally speaking want to do whatever it is he commands them to, but also a small voice from within is at the same time screaming at them not to do what the Purple Man wants them to) which naturally leads to both a trail of corpses and shattered lives where ever he goes. His faux charismatic persona as portrayed by the naturally charming David Tennant of Doctor Who fame just makes Kilgrave as a whole that more unsettling and also makes it more believable*why* Jessica has a hell of a time bringing him to justice his mind control power aside.

well we got murderers, psychopaths and violent extremists in reality, but I think anything that bends reality or is fictional is more scary to begin with. If it's fictional but still possible in our reality I don't see it as scary as compared to more bizarre and unrealistic things.

Unicorns are scary, they're fabled to be violent and god knows what type of magic they'd use if you mess with them by accident. Same with wizards, elves, spirits, superheros, you name it. All the stuff they do is fine and dandy in their world, but here it'd be horrible. "oops you pissed an internet troll off! They use their magic to make you literally impale yourself instead of receiving a passive aggressive note telling you to."

Oh my gosh, me too! Well, I wasn't so much scared of him as I was annoyed that he WOULDN'T LEAVE LARA THE HECK ALONE! Seriously, if she wants something, she'll call him!

My dad did the same thing, then realized he could lure the butler into the walk-in freezer and get him stuck in-between the doors so he couldn't follow Lara around anymore.

I don't know why but Hal really creeped me out when I was younger still kinda does a little now. I don't know why maybe its the stark monotone but also relaxed voice that was chilling or the end where it about to be shut off and its basically begging for a second chance and you feel bad for it and yet at the same time you are completely sure its just saying that so it can kill you later. Its even worse knowing why it acted that way because in the end we only have humanity to blame.

Probably if I find in the streets something like Silent Hill's game monsters I would be freaked out lol.

@Michelle Im so sorry but I lost it. Its so ridiculous and funny (super creepy but thats why its funny??) It reminded me of Lion Kind 3D1 - super jacked up haha!

@ScampiCub same problem this made me lose it. He just like stuck in the door! Like please help me why.

As for me though, its not monsters or anything like that, although when I was younger the Invisible Heartless scared the crap out of me!! The way they move...

What scares me most is Patrick Bateman from American Psycho.... He's so normal and not normal. And manipulative and just kills like its nothing. That entire movie is super unsettling..

no offense but that heartless is kinda hot :/

anyway while im here???

im trying to think about particular characters i was afraid of at any point, i dont have the best memory, but there had to be some

Honestly, I can't think of a singular character. Anything from Stephen Gammel's brain would probably scare the ever loving crap out of me if I ever met it in a dark alley. (Made most famous for his infamous "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" Children's Book Illustrations... )



His illustrations are now removed from modern copies of the book, but dang if they don't still haunt me.

I think anything just human enough, but distorted just the right amount can be a perfect recipe for fear.

Aaaah! Put that away!

But yeah, I saw more recent versions of the book and while Brett Helquist is an amazing illustrator, his stuff just doesn't send chills down my spine like the originals.

Yeah I won't lie... they seriously don't have the same punch. I'm fairly certain kids see scarier stuff on the internet these days. No need to change the art for fear of traumatizing kids. XD
