Cartoons and children's specials that scared you as a kid

[caj]

I honestly remember being terrified of the Snow Monster on Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer and of the Winter Warlock from Santa Claus is Coming To Town.

Don't get me wrong, I watched them both every year (and still do), but I would hide my eyes when those two villains came on. brrrrr

Damn! I thought I was the only one who got a major league case of the shivers as a kid when I saw him! Whoa! Good to know I'm not alone!

Back when Drive-in theaters ran cartoons before a movie there was a cartoon where a man put a hot towel on his face and his face ended up on the towel with his head blank and the face on the towel staring back
at the head in shock. Don't even know what cartoon that was or the context. I am sure it was meant to be funny. But that scared the hell out of me.

Inhumanoids was pretty freaky stuff at times. Basically it was from Marvel's animation deal with Hasbro, but instead of transforming alien robots and soldiers, it was Lovecraftian horrors.

Disney's "The Truth About Mother Goose" : the Little Jack Horner and Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary segments gave me some shivers, like Jack Horner haunted by the voices intoning the poem as he cowered in his spooky mansion, and Mary, Queen of Scots going to her execution. And of course, Ichabod Crane and The Headless Horseman!

No, you are not alone, man. I like the old days where writers and creators didn't feel kids should be shielded from terrifying monsters in fairy tales.

Peter Parker agonizingly growing four extra arms in 90s TAS scared me so badly I couldn't even watch the reruns for years.

Courage the cowardly dog use to freak me out if I woke up in the middle of the night and it was on.

Both of my kids when they were 3-4 years old refused to watch because of the Bumble. So it's multi-generational too!
