I know there's some television shows that scared the crap out of me as a kid, but honestly, I'm blanking out. I'll come back later when I remember any -- of course there were some I can probably only describe because I don't know the name.

For movies, I can without a doubt say the number one that frightened back then was The Thing. Can't tell you how afraid I was of the shadows or tight corners thinking pieces of that creature were hiding among them -- namely the "head creature"; if you seen the movie, you'll know what I'm referring to.

Although Goosebumps never really scared me as a kid (I did enjoy reading them), the dummy, Slappy, did influence my sister to scare me a lot. She had her own dummy named Lester and would often leave him in my room in the mornings. Imagine getting up to use the bathroom only to return half-asleep to find a dummy sitting in your bed facing you with a creepy grin? Yeah... infamous for picking the right moments for that >_>
