The clown from "It" did it for me... And still does. For fuck sake, I watched the god damn movie when I was 5 years old! My 10 years older brother had rented it and I thought "Hey! A movie with a clown in it, how funny!" And boy was I wrong...
This was the time before I had learned english and could not I read the subtitles either, so I had no idea what was going on. "Hey look the clown." *Screams, blood and gore.* "It's ok, It's ok, It's ok, It's just a clown, it's ok, it's ok..."
Pennywise still scares the living shit out of me. My brother who rented it thought that it was funnier to watch my reactions than watching the movie itself. I might be scarred for life, but I still laugh about it. Ha Ha Ha!

Number four is Large Marge? Everybody who's mentioned "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" always says that that scene scared the crap out of them. Frankly, I thought it was the most hilarious thing I'd ever seen when I was a kid. The clowns dream was easily much more scary than Large Marge.
I also have to give you props for Judge Doom. Man, when I was a kid, I could barely watch the screen after Judge Doom had transformed into his more toony form. Hell, I never expected it, which made it even more awesomely terrifying!

I haven't seen all of these, but yeah that tunnel in Willy Wonka? OMG. I second the commenter who listed the Wheelies from Return to Oz and The Giant Mouse of Minsk, I still find that stuff hard to watch even as an adult. The scariest thing I remember though is from Return of the Jedi where you finally see Darth Vader unmasked. It took me years to finally see the end of that scene, because I was too scared of what Darth Vader might look like. Felt pretty silly when I finally saw it and saw he was just a dude with wrinkly yellow skin. Yeah.
Great review!

Whoa, didn't see that Care Bears one coming! What the hell?! And strangely enough, I don't remember much about that tunnel scene from Willy Wonka, even though my family watched that movie all the time when I was little. Also, I don't agree with the #1 pick. The Banshee should be further down the list.

This is definitely my favorite of the Top 11 Series thusfar...
Willy Wonka scene shoulda gotten number 1. Jesus Christ, I remember it occuring in the movie but I have no recollection of it being like that. Everyone refers to it as the "Acid Tunnel", but I hardly think that does it Justice. It's moreso terrifying than it is drug induced. Definitely the funniest of the bunch too.
Most of em you nailed too... I didn't see poltergeist till I was in my teens, and I never saw banshee or carebears, but the rest of that stuff was definitely quite terrifying.

Great call on Judge Doom.
My candidates:
Gooey Gus from "Attack of the Slime Monster" (Ghostwriter)
I don't know why the heck this wrinkly purple midget is so scary, but when someone makes a motivational poster about it, that's got to be damn freaky.The donkey transforming scene in Pinocchio
That whole movie was filled with horrors! Monstro the whale, Stromboli...but the little boys transforming in to donkeys and being forced into little crates by creepy men with whips is one of the most frightening moments in my childhood.

1.Mrs. Lovette's burning body from Sweeney Todd: Demon Barber of Fleet Street"What are you? five years old? Sandman from spider man 3? the statues head from cloverfield? so the statue was more scary then the monster? I know the monster was not so frightening but it was still scarier then the statue. come on... Davy Jones? OMG violet from Charlie and the chocolate factory? Willy Wonka from epic movie? Voldemort in the first movie was a little scary but thats because i was nine at the time. Chucky on the other hand is scary. more worthy on the list would be Micheal Myers from Halloween, Jason from friday the 13th and Freddy from nightmare on elm street
