TV and Movie Characters that scared you as an kid/adult

[bavarian blue]

Those head clowns at the circus with the white socks, they were super scary.

 

[Nebuchadnezzar]

This episode particularly.

 

[RadcliffeRick]

I was taken to see this film when I was young. Had nightmares for weeks after.

 

[BlueTG]

As a kid? The usual 'Daleks' as they were unrelenting 'death machines'.

As an adult? 'Anton Chigurh'.

Cos he's an unrelenting death machine and there are idiots like him out there.

Hmm... I sense a theme here...

No Country for Old Men. Brilliant film.

 

[Djibrilshairdo]

The skelingtons from Jason and the Argos

 

[jitsubluedan]

Thanks for re-awakening those long buried, traumatic memories from my childhood - the pictures were a step too far! The BBC didn’t just inflict us with Jimmy Saville.

Salem’s Lot is also in there but I’m not re-posting those pictures as they’re scarier!

 

[Met Line Hammer]

Not a character per se, but the bloke who did fingerbobs freaked the fuck out of me. You’d never leave him with your kids

 

[jared]

Aliens in well Aliens

 

[I'm With Stupid]

As a kid we used to watch Look And Read with Wordy at school and there was one episode called the boy from space and I remember the kid in that absolutely freaked me out. It was his appearance and the way he moved and talked

I always found this bloke pretty scary:

 

[discopop]

This used to give me a few nightmares a bit of a freaky intro for a supposed kids program

Cybermen and the master from Doctor Who were always behind the sofa moments.

In later years Alyson Rudd in Terrahawks and Sunday Supplement is a TV off moment
