Which movie or cartoon character(s) properly scared you as a kid?

[Fen_Star]

Fantasia: The brooms I think?
Jumanji: I mean, Robin Williams, but also the bad things
Jungle Book: The Snake
Willy Wonka: Gene Wilder (Who I usually love)
Rock-a-Doodle: EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE

NOTE TO MODERATIOR APPROVING: Can I use the term pedophile to describe the snake?

Yes.

Avid Scooby-Doo fan here.

I watched the live action movie and this damn thing has been in a handful of my nightmares ever since.

When I watched Toy Story 2 for the first time back when I was, like, 8 or something, Stinky Pete scared the life out me. Looking back, I'm not sure why. Maybe because he was voiced by Kelsey Grammer? :V

Not from movies, but these two characters truly scared me as a kid.

Yoshimitsu and Quan Chi

Spoiler

T2 Yoshimitsu

Mortal Kombat Quan Chi

In Quan Chi's case, it give me a weird thought that everybody around me are actually monsters
in disguise. Wild theory

 

[zzmmorgan]

Yeah Kelsey Grammer voicing a character is indeed scary
I can't say I liked Toy Story 2 as much as the first one overall though.

Not really a cartoon character but more of a video game character.

Remember that ugly thing in the game Ao Oni? Yeah, that gave me a few nightmares.

Fen, your whole dang post is comment-worthy. Jumanji freaked me out as a kid, and Kaa the pedo-vore snek seems legit too. When I was young I straight-up hated Willy Wonka the character, letting the jerk kids meet their fate. Once I got years older and developed a brainstem wiser, I realized the brats brought it on themselves.

Thank goodness I didn't read the book first.
