What cartoon characters scared you the most as a kid

[Sage Ninja]

when I was little I used to love watching cartoons (heh, I still do) I watched everything from Care Bears, My Little Pony, Gummey Bears, Chip N Dale The Rescue Rangers, Ghostbusters, The Teenager Mutant Ninja Turtles (of course ), Duck Tales...you name it I probably watched it

Most of these cartoons where very child friendly that had great story telling and good moral messages. I enjoyed them. But I was generally very young when I watched these and I have to say there was at least once or twice where an intence situation would arise or a particularly threatening villan would come up in one of my favorite cartoons, and I would get a little scared. Not full on gasp-out-loud or scream my head off scared, but one of those silent currents of fear that come over you and the fine hairs on the back of your neck tickle and you get goos flesh when you might see or hear something disturbing, and you get that slight hot cold feel. These instance never really bothered me and most of the time added to the appeal of what I watching and made me respect it more for pulling me into it so much that it would give me that reaction. Althoug there where sometimes where when I knew something was coming I couldn't watch it with my eyes open.

for me these are some of the scarest moments/characters in cartoons that scared me as a child:

I the cartoon Duck Tales there was an episode where Uncle Scrooge goes back to Scotland to visit his parents home and take the boys with him along with WebbyGail. I do not recall the exact events but fr some reason there was these druid like acult memebers that where trying to run people off with a ghostly hound that glowed in the dark. The whole plot was a little freaky for me because at one point WebbyGail gets seperated from every one else and gets lost behind a trapped door all by herself. There is one scene in particual that really scared me was when you finnally see the Ghostly hound for the first time as it creeps out of a passage door in a semi dark and it looks ferousious with it fur sticking up menacingly and it glowing and walks quitely after WebbyGail stalking her. I haven't seen this show in years and yet I remember that scene vividly. And it freaked me out.

Another instance was from the Care Bears Movie. I was very itty bitty when I saw these movies and there times in this genuanly scared. In the first Care Bear Movie it took place in a circus /carnival with sone loser kid with no friends named...can't remember his name, but he gets a freaky looking book with the head of a bald lady in the middle that was some kind of demon (I remeber she changed colors ) who manipulated the poor kid into using magic to hurt people. And thouyght this book chick was freaky and one thing that scared me was this evil cloud demon that could shape shift and posses things. One seen that disturbed was when it turned into a shark and tryed to drown the care bears by spinning around their boat , then I rember it turning into a giant bird attacking from the sky at these two terrified kids. Gosh I'll never forget the way that bird circled around in the sky and the kept swooping down trying to attack these two kids, and the freaky noise it made when it circled them. Also I thought the whole ending scene where they are wresting with the demon book to close it and it kept trying to open it self was intense. I rember sitting very rigid when theI first saw that.

In the second Care Bears Movie I thought Dark Heart was a scarey villan. Everything about him I just thought was scarey. Especially this one scene where he is spying on a girl up in a tree disgiused as a red fox, and then when he drops down into the bushes and stratles the girl. And basically any time he would be transformed into some red colored animal. I thought he was so scarey. Also I rememeber a scene where two car bears where chasing a black version of him (is the best way to describe it) in a foggy cave.

I have more but these are the one that come to mind right now. How about any one else? What characters or moments in cartoons scared you as a kid?
