What were you scared of as a child?

[DubWolf 17,263]

The rhino from James and the Giant Peach always scared me :S , I always looked away when he appeared.

[SolarFlare13 16,087]

The dark and werewolves  I used to believe they were hiding in the darkness and in the closet

*puts Venomous in a dark room*

I was afraid of the original texas chainsaw massacre and childs play

[omgamapwny 51]

My bedroom door and my wardrobe xD

[Le Trotteur Sauvage 13,051]

I was scared of dark, like 50% of children ^^
Now I love the night, things change eh 

[Tricky42 61]

Everyone that wasn't family

[Le Trotteur Sauvage 13,051]

I was scared of big dogs, then looked enormous... and their teeth...

[Sovereign Leader Rarity 12,006]

Public speaking/performing used to terrify me. These days I almost live for it.

Snow plows were super terrifying to me when I was a child since they seemed like huge, noisy murder machines.

I was scared of a lot of things as a kid. Luckily, I've overcame most of these fears.
 

Spoiler

-Nightmare on Elm Street
My parents watched it, and although they didn't want me to watch it, I took a couple peeks.
Unfortunately, one of the scenes I saw was when Freddy's claw comes out of the bath tub.
Needless to say, I was scared to take baths after that.

-Coydogs
I haven't actually ever seen one, but the way everyone talked about them made them sound like werewolves.

-A Haunting
As a kid, this show used to freak me out. So much so, that I didn't want to be in a room alone.
Now as an adult, I can't stop laughing at it.

-Bears
Back when I used to camp, I'd always be too afraid to fall asleep. Cause I feared that a bear would show up.

-Goosebumps (TV Show): Don't Wake Mummy
This episode was probably the creepiest of the whole series, well at least for me it was.
I remember getting chills every time that asshole of a sister locks her brother in the cellar and the mummy rises up.

-Scooby Doo on Zombie Island
Two scenes really scared me as a kid. 
1. When they look back at the film and see the ghost.
2. When Shaggy and Scooby fall into the hole and find the skeleton,
only for a ghostly energy to reanimate the skeleton and have it walk towards them.

-Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
The Shadow Temple.in general was unsettling, but the music really brings it home. 
I had to mute the tv just to get through it. It made me feel so paranoid, like any second one of those bastard wallmasters/floormasters/ceilingmasters could
grab me and send me back to the beginning of the temple.

Going to the creek at night, but only after my mom told me the story of la Llorona. It freaked me out so much that now when I go to the river I still look over my shoulder to make sure the ghost isn't trying to kidnap me

This is going to sound completely duplicitous, but I was quite the fearless child. I can't really recall anything I was particularly afraid of. I was always the one going head-first into everything. Dark places, scary pathways---I was overtly curious. That and most of the friends I had were a little more fearful and cautious in nature so I was brave for them too. Or I was a show-off. After all, I am a Leo. 

[kaiser5578 340]

i was always and still am horrified of geese along with Zordon from the power rangers

[Altastrofae 933]

Wow, everypony were such scaredy cats. I wouldn't say I was fearless though. For some reason I was afraid off beating video games, cuz that was, like, the end. But now I realize that is simply life. All things come to an end  even My Little Pony will end one day never to be rebooted again

[Le Trotteur Sauvage 13,051]

I was scared of strangers, all strangers !

[CandyCorn 428]

I used to be scared of the Titanic wreck... weird, I know. I think it was mostly because it looked creepy to me. ;w; I'm not scared of it now that I'm older to be honest.

[Lucky Bolt 35,063]

Washing machines. I was deathly afraid of washing machines.  I don't know why, but I just was. Especially if one was turned on and running. I must've been about 4 or 5. I would scream bloody murder if I had to be in the same room with one. That bizarre fear faded away into an even weirder obsession with mashing machines. I went from being terrified of them to downright mesmerized by them. Eventually I grew out of it. Weird.

Sudden noises for some reason particularly at the end of songs.

[Tao 7,755]

Snakes and  the idea of ufos taking me away as a kid!

[Phill 1,287]

The Werewolf transformation scene from Michael Jackson's Thriller 

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

I was mainly afraid of insects from what I can remember.

[SparklingSquirrels 21,341]

I was afraid of the killer whales from Happy Feet  

Dancing penguins, so scary!  

[Phosphor 11,529]

Mirrors in dark rooms use to creep me out as a kid.

Oh wow, I had this too. One time when I was at a friend's birthday party years ago, we decided to go outside in the late evening and it was rather dark already. For some reason I was absolutely sure that an alien ship would come by and abduct us. Needless to say that didn't happen.
