    A shame you had to stop at 11. I put up my own list on Youtube:

    11. The Wheelers in Return to Oz.
    10. The defibrilators in ET.
    9. The trash compactor in Star Wars.
    8. All of Jumanji.
    7. Close to You in Mirrormask.
    6. The Giant Mouse of Minsk in An Americal Tail.
    5. The opening sequence of Spirited Away.
    4. All of The Nightmare Before Christmas.
    3. The ark being opened in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
    2. The Ceti Eels in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
    1. The Fire Gang in Labyrinth.

    I was petrified of the Wheelies! Even when they were dying!
  • famousashtray
    the wheelers kept me up at night
  • ThatHalf-BloodWithTheBrawn
    Personally, I think he should review Jumanji. Seriously, it's just one big
    Mindfuck. :pinch:
  • XanltheCSG
    OH GOD! close to you freaked the ever loving shit out of me!
  • Zweimeterzwerg
    I choose those fucking Marsians from Mars Attacks. Today, I love them but the
    first time i saw them they scared the crap out of me. Oh by the way does anybody
    of you know
    "Achmed the dead terrorist"? He looks like those Marsians.
  • ThatHalf-BloodWithTheBrawn
    Dude, Achmed is FUCKING HILARIOUS!!!!!! :lol: :lol: "Knock knock,"
    "who's there?" "Me, I kill you."
  • MassiveballS
    hehe one step beyond nice..but! headless horseman was not so scary you should
    have put the one from 1999 ledgende of sleepy hollow but the cartoon was nice!!!
    ;D
  • Mattato
    Oh damn you, clown! Damn you to hell!
  • Mr. Easterband
    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!
  • tbussard
    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!
  • Arjen-DH
    Among those are some scary moments indeed, and your humour is great. Me and my
    friends have seen your videos multiple times now, and every time we can't stop
    laughing.

    Though I don't think number 1 is actually the scariest. Number 2 definately is.
  • nafeasonto
    THe tunnel scene still doesn't make any sense to me.
  • ilTGWTG
    that scared the shit out of me
  • calger459
    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 mightlook like. Felt pretty silly when I finally saw it and saw he was just a dude
    with wrinkly yellow skin. Yeah.

    Great review!
  • ARM
    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.
  • Dkad
    What about the sister of the villain in Superman 3, who is forced to become a
    robot at the end !
    Now THAT sequence is scary !

    With the metalic eyes and all that...

    By the way, will you do a review of Superman 3 and 4 ? That would be great coz
    there's a lot of things to say... =)
  • Iconbuster
    The Tunnel from Willie WOnka is my personal most scariest scene from this list.
  • ThatChickWithTheGoggles
    I must just be too young because none of these things (except maybe the Willy
    Wonka tunnel thing) ring any bells. I thought the clown from It was more
    terrifying. For me, I guess I was more scared about Are You Afraid of the Dark
    and Goosebumps.
  • 200monkeys
    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.
  • AndyP
    Am I the only one who thought that the number and title cards are alot like the
    title sequence from James Rolfe's (aka the AVGN(heh heh heh)) Monster Madness
    that he did last October?
  • NintendoAddict
    I actually thought that the monkeys were scarier than the witch lol
  • CAPTAIN N
    Oh my good i remember Judge Doom. Seriusly when i was a kid there wasn´t
    anything that could scare me. but when i saw that freak and those EVIL demonic
    eyes i was soo scared that i just ran into my room and locked the door.. i was
    FREEEKED out.... Why dont they make those kinda thing anymore xD
  • redrum
    I'm surprised the face-melting angel scene from Raiders Of The Lost Ark didn't
    make it. I was horrified by that scene a million different ways.
  • Sandheaver
    The tunnel scene still creeps me out, and Large Marge also caught me completely
    offguard.

    Still a great compilation from the Nostalgia Critic, IMO.
  • ilTGWTG

    9.Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars Episode 3
    8.Violet Beauregard from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
    7.Davy Jones from Pirates of The Carribean

  • monkeydavis-1
    oh god, that image of mrs lovette stays with me. highly disturbing
  • Dove
    Raiders of the Lost Ark; the Ark being opened
  • Nostlgiafan2
    I SHIT my pants when i watched this! :D
  • DO A BARREL ROLL!
    i dunno, in the #1 movie, seeing Sean Connery sing is a hell of a lot scarier
    than the Banshee, or whatever the hell it was.
  • mysticlink89
    I almost forgot about Judge Doom, that guy was an asshole.

    One of the only things in a movie that scared the crap out of me when I was
    young.
  • mrprince911  - large marge
    its one of those moments when your glad you had to take pee during the movie I
    came back to hear the ghost joke and was thinking darn I missed something cool
    but when I saw it man it scared the crap out of
  • chaossquid
    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.
  • Tohda  - ~~~
    I must say, I'm surprised to not see the Crypt Keeper on the list. I swear I
    about crapped bricks every time I saw that guy as a kid...
    Also; nice catch on Large Marge, however. In all the creepy characters I was
    thinking of, she didn't cross my mind~~

    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
  • F1315NJ
    ahh, the Headless Horseman was my favorite Disney villain. although looking at
    him now, he looks like hes wearing a friggin jumpsuit
