King Kong

Godzilla

Giant Marshmallow man

Gremlins

Oogie Boogie - Nightmare before Xmas

The Bedlam - Coroline

The Great White - Jaws

Any more

If you're after kids' films, there's the mole monster thing in The Spiderwick Chronicles.

Though not a kids film, when I were younger, Hector from Saturn 3, terrified the life outta me.

What about the octopus woman thing in the little mermaid? Or does cartoon not count?

The witches in 'Witches'?

That ball in Phantasm 1 and 2, and those dudes that look like they have a history of ASBO's in the Hellraiser films.

Can it be children's programmes? I remember Chortle and the Wheelies, the Witch used to scare the living daylights out of me.
