What scared you as a kid?
 

American girl dolls and the dark. I'm stilled creeper out hy them.

Science fiction
 

Archie's flooded future because of man-created pollution. I'd learnt that some things that was science fiction yesterday, like humans flying from the Earth to the Moon and back, was possible today.

When the bus was about to fall off the bridge in the TMNT episode Superhero For A Day.

Terminator and darkness.

Nowadays, the only things I still being scared of are people.

Lots of things.

THAT MOTHERF*CKING DRAGON PUPPET YOU POSTED

And I sh*t you not, Jim Carrey's Grinch.

Mouse of Minsk from An American Tail.

Gmork, agent of The Nothing from the Never Ending Story.

Adulthood.

The basement in the old house my mom used to rent when I was attending per-school up to 7th grade.

It had one of those doors that was under the stairs to the upper floor, and it's the one place in that house that made me uneasy.

I'm pretty much still a kid so I guess I'm afraid of tarantulas? well, I'm not really afraid I just think their nasty. Like I've held them before and...screw it
I'll just go with Apriltello failing in the 2k12 series

So its like the basement from 'Buried Secrets' but without the Kraang ship

Yeah I know exactly what you're talking about. I had a hand puppet of him as well.

Garbage Pail Kids. They still do too.

Ironically, I own copies of all the Scream movies, and have marathoned the Nightmare on Elm Street, Child's Play, and Friday the 13th movies. I was also intrigued by Mortal Kombat when I first saw its fatalities at 14, yet I know they aren't any different from descriptions you'd see on GPK cards.

When I was a kid, there was this old porcelain doll at my place that used to belong to my mother when she was little that used to creep me out when I was 6-7. This sounds pretty silly, but I was afraid of looking said porcelain doll in the face.

Why is this in the TMNT section?

In my grandparents house, there used to be a big hole that was in the ceiling above their kitchen table due to the drywall that weakened there and fell through. (Yes, I could practically see the attic.)

One time my dad picked me up and say something like "Wanna see the monsters in the attic?"

That scared me sh*tless as a small child, but both my father and grandfather found that funny.

Thomas the Tank Engine creeped me out, especially with the weird faces they used to make.

As it relates to TMNT, probably Shredder's voice in those early 2k3 episodes. Before the Ch'rell stuff was revealed, I saw him as an incredibly fearsome villain.

Marilyn Manson.

I used to be scared of this porcelain clown doll that til this day is still sitting in our cabinet. I was also really scared of our basement and first floor apartment at night. I always imagined hands grabbing my legs from the stairs and other creepy sh*t down there. Though I don't think anything TMNT related has ever scared me.

The close-up of Spongebob's visage in the episode " Whobob Whatpants". It's still chilling...

That was the reason I was scared of turned off TV's, VHS/DVD players and, I kid you not, my cousin's god damn Wii!
Read the first post. It was about TMNT 3, which scared me. It is also my first TMNT memory. I was going to make a thread about that, but there was already an earliest memory thread, I believe.

I was also scared of that face from Nick Jr. that would pop up in between shows.

I'm scared of that new shredder costume.

PERFECT CHAOS from Sonic Adventure; that "Station Square Flood" cut-scene freaked me out as a kid.

TMNT-wise: The closest I've come to being scared in TMNT was the "Exodus" storyline in 2K3; Utrom Shredder just tears Splinter and the Turtles apart!

-Used to be scared of spiders. Let's just say I had a quite unpleasant time finding one in my panties while going to the bathroom in pre-school. Nowadays they don't bother me at all.

-Was occasionally scared of the dark. Still sort of am actually.

Going by Disney films I watched:
-The one scene from Sleeping Beauty when Maleficent appears and lured Aurora to fulfill her curse always got me too. The fairies leave her alone. She continues to sob. When the camera starts panning to the fireplace and you start hearing that eerie music. A puff of green fire and smoke appear. And then you see her likeness amongst the darkness.:o That was a good way to clear me outta the room I tell ya.

-And I always thought the crocodile from Peter Pan weirdly creepy too. It might've been his crooked smile or the music that plays in his scenes, but I always felt uncomfortable seeing him and not just straight-up afraid like Captain Hook. This is kinda the only childhood fear I'm rather ashamed of admitting since there really is nothing that should be scary about him now and never should have found.

-Oh, and Judge Doom's reveal from WFRR? is a definite and relate able childhood scare. "REMEMBER ME EDDIE?!?! WHEN I KILLED YOUR BROTHER, I TALKED JUUUST LIIIIIKE THHHHHHISSSS!!!!" 0_0

But for whatever reason, I could never be close to being scared of the pink elephants from Dumbo or the Hellfire sequence from Hunchback like most probably were. I'm just kinda weird like that, I guess.

And in case anyone asks why Fantasia for the Night on Bald Mountain segment isn't on here since I was such a Disney fanatic as a kid, well, that's because I avoided watching it because of knowing that was a thing. Didn't know it'd be the last segment of the film, but still.

The puppet show scene in The Sound of Music freaked me out so bad when I was little.

The opening titles of Knight Rider. I swear I thought KITT was going to come right out of the tv and run me over.

Every time He-Man yelled "I HAVE THE POWER"

People....but specifically those who were bad. You know, like murderers and such, but I was deathly afraid of racists and KKK folks. Learning about those things back in like 1st grade scared me because of how recent it was in our history. My parents' time. I also went to a predominantly white elementary school from K-2, so I was also scared that my friends' parents would hate me because of my race. I used to always think, "What if white people start to hate black people again and I can't be friends with <insert name> anymore?"

So yeah, stuff like that scared me a lot as a kid.

RIGHT?!?!
And Large Marge.

Or Geena Davis pulling her face off in Beetlejuice.

I think my earliest memory of being scared by a movie would be the sphinx from NeverEnding Story.

I think your child self was right to, because it looks like that's going to rear its hideous head in good time.

Ever since I saw Jaws and Finding Nemo, I was terrified of sharks. To the point where I was afraid of swimming in the deep end of my pool, because I thought I would get eaten.

It was that part where the kid saw all of the bones and the dead knight on the ground that sorta unnerved me as a kid. I always liked The Southern Oracle (the blue Sphinxes) because of their color, and because they actually didn't kill people.

I ought to watch Beetlejuice again sometime because I don't remember the Geena Davis scene or much of the movie itself.

I was afraid of criminals, too. Junkies and alcoholics creeped me out in particular.

Don't tell me that this scared you:

Thunder Storms and High places.
Things That still scare me.
High Places. I guess at least I eliminated one.

Actually kinda of funny how I go over T Storms. Finally had one while I was at school. Like kindergarden. Around the same time I got into TMNT. I looked around. I realized nobody else was scared. I decided if no one else seemed scared I wouldn't be either. What I like to call the Steward affect today. That moment where you look around a plane; see the stewards are all calm and decide its not time to panic yet.
