Things that scared the shit out of you as a little kid. -

I used to be scared of flushing the toilet just because it was so loud.
The noise coming from the vacuum used to scare me when I was little.
zombies. the zombies from plants vs zombies and the zombie episode of powerpuff girls. they megaspooked me
Okay, first off: how are they even scary to you?

Yeah, not to mock anyone's fears, but zombies have to be the most overplayed overdone over-parodied and over-everythinged trope for the last 20 years. I think the last time zombies were scary in the slightest was the first zombie movie that had them as fast-running feral things rather then slow shambling corpses, but even after the surprise of that, zombies are still hella-unscary.
Except 'real' zombies, like Serpent and the Rainbow shit. Torture/drugging/brainwashing is real life scary.

Of course nowdays they're just goofy, but back in the day I had nightmares about these two.
Also, I wasn't personally scared of this scene (it makes me laugh and smile more than anything), I can 100% see this being terrifying to kids...

The abdominable snowman from Rudolph scared the absolute shit out of me. I recall hiding behind the sofa when it came on, like a little bitch. This part in particular.
HR Pufnstuf scared me as a kid and so did Chucky. Little did I know that they both had the same puppeteer, Van Snowden.
The dried lotus pods in my Grandma’s basement.
The train from Gumby. The way the disembodied tracks moved with it so dang fast.
The old lady down the street. Her house was the school bus stop. Sometimes she’d rake the sidewalk with a metal rake, it made an awful sound. Other times she’d sweep the grass with a broom. Once she just stood still holding a knife. She had a horrible walk and me and the neighborhood kids would run up the street upon seeing her which was rude in retrospect. I had a nightmare I was running away from her in a basement up the stairs and she was cutting at my feet with scissors. (It was a cat touching my feet as I slept) She was old when I was young and lived to be 109 years old.

Missed this one. Holy shit the Teletubbies target audience was 2-4 year olds, wasn't it? Those sounds alone would set little ones off, and no matter how non-scary they tried to draw the lion, once little kids heard that roar and saw the fangs, they were not gonna trust that toothy mawed motherfucker for a second. The only conclusion they would draw was that the lion ate the bear off screen at the end. Tubbies saying 'all gone!' would just confirm it for them. I can hear the traumatized screams from through time and space. Damn glad my kids missed this episode.
Mind you TV still almost ruined my elder girl around age 5. She had seen her mom and I watch pro wrestling and we played wrestling with our kids of course, but one night Ric Flair was headlining the show and those who know wrestling of that era knows Flair LOVED to blade when a big match was on, and all of a sudden my daughter's exclaiming "oh no! oh no!! OH NO!!! BAAAAWWWW!!!!!!" and I look up and Ric Flair was coming up after one of his 'flair flops' where he throws a punch at the air and then face-faults onto the mat. He had covered his head with his arms and sliced. So now the claret is just pouring down his face and whoever he was working with was giving him hard-knuckle shots to the forehead and eyesocket area to spread it all over. Fuckin THANKS Vince!
We are telling her "no no, it's pretend blood honey! he's not really hurt! Remember about wrestling, it's all pretend!" NEWP! we're lying! he's all blood and he's gonna die! So my tough kid who could watch Starship Troopers and laugh has since been utterly sqeamish about blood, even now as an adult.

Not me, but a little girl that had no qualms to climb my bed to my dresser to break my glasses is scared of an....angelfish. Enough to run away and cry after seeing it once.
That whole show STILL freaks me out. It's a funny scary.

Probably already said in this thread but:
The fucking owl from Secret of Nimh.
Also the air conditioner in Brave Little Toaster.
