Danny Glick's return to his brother in 1979's Salem's Lot:



OK, I was 16, but this scared the crap out of me at the time - for ages I couldn't look at my bedroom window at night

I was initially mistaken in thinking that was a Sandking that featured in the Outer Limits relaunch in the 90s, however that is obviously a still from the one of the 1960s OL episodes which is even more curious given that they have an "insect with a humanoid face" in common. 

The Sandkings episode was adapted from a short story of the same name that first appeared Omni Magazine in the late 70s (Omni was basically Penthouse without the soft-core porn). I remember reading Sandkings in Omni and found it deeply disturbing but found the TV adaptation staring Beau Bridges less so. I have to admit I had forgotten that Sandkings was written by George RR Martin and I wonder how much "inspiration" he drew from that 1960s episode. 
What?

There's nothing that still keeps me up nights, but I remember being really freaked out by one of those 'most haunted' documentaries. It was all good up until they had an actor playing the widow being woken up by the ghost of her husband staring at her with bared teeth and then shrieking at her.

Rather than humanoid characters, for me, it would be the shark from Jaws.

When I was 5 or 6, watching the 1960s The Incredible Hulk cartoon series, when the Man would explode into The Incredible Hulk, I used to cry in fear!

This guy, the evil dwarf from The Singing Ringing Tree:



utterly scared the crap out of me.  It was an East German production that was shown on British kids TV in the seventies for reasons that bewilder me. Possibly David Lynch was in charge of programming and wanted to traumatise a generation of children.

Morko looks too much like the cookie monster. He wouldn't have scared me as a kid.

Looks like I'll be sleeping with the lights on tonight.. thanks OP.

Take that crap away..I've seen scarier things at 2am at a 7-11.  Now that dude... was scary...


Max Schreck certainly was scary as "Nosferatu". he had a tell-tale name too; "Schreck" is German for "scare"


no sh*t!  I never knew Schreck was German for scare.  Awesome.. yeah...scary as hell. Enough to give me a childhood fear of vampires. LOL Christopher Lee or Bela Lugosi never managed to do that... though Stephen King got a primary assist on the score sheet as well haha.

When I was about eight or nine years old I watched an old "Dr.Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde" movie on TV one evening when my parents were not at home. There was one scene that scared me so much I had to switch off the TV. Jeckyll had just promised a group of people: "Hyde won't molest you anymore". Shortly after that he sat on a park bench and turned into Hyde again, which was shown by his hands becoming hairy. The idea of transforming into something else against your will scared me to death.

Never heard of MorKo, but if I knew of him as a kid, I for sure would have had nightmares. Voldemort never scared me, I just like to make fun of him. So neither
