Not intentionally scary, but full body Muppets used to scare the shit out of me as a kid. The same with costumed characters in theme parks. Still not fond of them. I think they gave Mickey a movable mouth, eyes and a voice a few years back. He's even worse now.
Anyway, this was probably the worst for me:
.
I watched that show a lot, but something about it felt so weird, alien and creepy to me. Loved scary stuff, and that's why I kept watching it, I never really thought it was funny. That baby was probably the worst, with his tiny wiggling arms and fingers, and those goddamn eyes.
Edit: Sorry, forgot to mention where the image is from. It's from Dinosaurs, a 90s puppet sitcom by the Henson Company.

I'm surprised no one mentioned this thing

Damn lots of shit posted in here creeps me the fuck out, but nothing comes close to the shit I saw in Pet Sematary. People will tell me this isn't a scary movie these days, and I don't know what the fuck they're talking about. The monsters/ghosts in this movie still scare me like no other movie has to this day
Pascow:
Even though he's a friendly ghost, nothing scared me more as a kid growing up then seeing this fuckin guy on TV.
Also, this fucking thing:
And yeah the ending scarred me for life:

reverse google image search showed me something called go to sleep but I am at work so I couldn't go to most of the sites
The thing is probably my no.1
Here's another one:
Mystery-man from Lost Highway
Mystery Man: We've met before, haven't we?
Fred: I don't think so. Where was it you think we met?
Mystery Man: At your house. Don't you remember?
Fred: No. No, I don't. Are you sure?
Mystery Man: Of course. As a matter of fact, I'm there right now.
Fred: What do you mean? You're where right now?
Mystery Man: At your house.
Fred: [pause] That's fucking crazy, man.
Mystery Man: Call Me. Dial your number. Go ahead.
[Fred dials the number and the Mystery Man answers]
Mystery Man: [over the phone] I told you I was here.
Fred: [alarmed] How'd you do that?
Mystery Man: Ask me.
Fred: [angrily into the phone] How did you get inside my house?
Mystery Man: You invited me. It is not my custom to go where I am not wanted.
Fred: [into the phone] Who are you?
[Both Mystery Men laugh]
Mystery Man: [over the phone] Give me back my phone.
[Fred gives the phone back]
Mystery Man: It's been a pleasure talking to you.
I understood this immediately in that Robert Blake is really the evil side of Pullman and doing his bidding (invited). I LOVED that scene when I first saw it...Is this out on Blu ray yet???

Jesus Camp
This is BY FAR the scariest thing posted.
It's from REC [2] ... spanish horror saga, I recommend you to start watching the first and then this one, you will enjoy both a lot
Man fuck ET! My father didn't do much with me as a kid, and yet this is the movie he takes me to see.

Am unable to watch this movie. Ever. The mood, the images, all of it terrifies me. That decaying woman, especially. I have never seen that scene in full because I get too scared. Even seeing that picture made my pulse spike.
Ugh.

Grace Jones in Vamp.
Maybe not the scariest movie monster, but definitely one of the scariest female vampires I've ever seen.
And C.H.U.Ds

Not technically a monster, but that thing from Inland Empire, man, fuck that thing.
This. Scary movies don't massively phase me any more but I watched Inland Empire at 3am and it made me feel like a kid again watching my first horror movies. Utter dread.
Mama. Old ladies freak me out.
This was the short that preceded the film, wasn't it? Damn, this Mama was so much freakier than the feature-film version.
Additonally, a few years back now, there was a film about alien abductions that surrounded this house. I remember the final scene was like a shitty camerecorder filming a huge spaceship passing over this rural New England style house. I don't remember the name of the film, was something like "Close encounters" but I remember at the beginning it said the classic 'This is based on a true story.' and it began by interviewing the women it really happened to. That woman looked terrifying.
Does anyone remember the name of that film?
Edit: Found, it was called 'Fourth Kind'.

Seriously.....My girlfriend and I every few months rewatch Jesus Camp. It starts out hilarious and then starts to turn into the scariest shit I have ever seen. Its a weird mix of a real life comedy/horror movie.

REC 2 if I'm remembering correctly.
I'd like to add an entry to this but I can't add an image because giant monster breasts, so the mom from Dead Alive.

Jacobs Ladder
Edit: basically the whole scene is pure horror.
Even though there is no particular monster.

I don't really know if anything scares me nowadays, it has been ages since I was scared by a movie. Maybe I should watch some more horror movies... lots and lots I miss out on.
But one that scared me when I was little is Kurt Barlow from Salem's Lot. Though I wasn't that many years (7-9 something) when I watched it.

Meg from Ridley Scott's LEGEND freaked me out as a kid.
Goddamn I love detailed practical effects/make-up work.
Yes, this is a MILLION times better than CGI, nothing comes close to this, no... not even that octopus faced pirate.

Looks very nice but scared me as kid a lot. I used to hide behind the couch during that scene.
Love me some Basket Case though!
Everything about that movie's basis in actual events was bullshit. Some kids went missing, and a crackpot said they saw lights and the kids were probably abducted. That was about it.
Not technically a monster as such, but Society. Nightmare fuel.

Not a movie but..
The Green Lady. Adventure Time.
She shows up out of the blue at the end of an episode with zero explanation as to what she is or wants. Finn is so scared of her he blocks his memory of the incident from his mind completely.
She's since been fully explained and is boring now but that first encounter was creepy as hell, particularly for a kid's show.

Yeah, that was pretty obvious, I was just saying whoever played that woman looked freaky. Most of the films on this thread are based on bullshit.

I'm kind of surprised nobody died of pneumonia during production of that film, as dripping with water as most of its cast seems to be most of the time.
Ghosts always freak me out the most out of all monster movies.
There's a lot of popular mentions in here, I'll add one in here that hasn't been mentioned.

House on Haunted Hill the remake
This movie freaked me out despite of people saying this movie sucked. :\ There's always something incredibly unnerving about how a ghost moves.

Rosemary from Demons/Demoni:
The monster from Funhouse:
The thing in the pipe from The Banshee Chapter:
The killer scarecrows from the 1988 movie "Scarecrows":
The demonic possessed grannies from Rabid Grannies(LOL):
The cannibalistic mothers in Flesh Eating Mothers:
Patua from Phenomena's hard to look at. I can usually look at most monsters and find some charm in them. Patua, damn, it's like, "Okay, enough! I can't look at that creepy ass thing any longer! Kill it with fire, NOW!!!"

Freaks is by far the most disturbing movie ever.
The only movie I could never bring myself to watch again and has me cover my eyes or look away. True horror.
Now, this guy from Dario Argento's Phenomena (creepers in the US I think) has haunted me for years. Maybe because I was fucking 8 when I saw it. Movie still scares me, Argento was so fucked up
Jennifer Connelly was just dreamy, though.

Now that I think about it, F/X master Rob Bottin (who designed Meg and the other phenomenal creature F/X work in LEGEND) was probably responsible for the majority of my childhood nightmares.
Sure, his work for Carpenter's THE THING has been posted about a billion times in this thread, but a few others that disturbed me as a kid:
The 'magic hat' rabbit from the It's a Good Life segment of Twilight Zone: The Movie
and, a bit more subtle, but Anthony's sister in the same segment:
Then you have his effects work on Robocop, which amazingly I watched when I was about 8 and couldn't go to sleep after seeing this happen when the lovable Emil got a toxic waste bath:
and you also have his stuff from The Howling (others poster mentioned this)
Just amazing work.

La niña Medeiros without a doubt:

Wait, maybe is

Ah, thank you very much. I see it's not from a horror movie then, sort of disappointing. Nothing against this movie of course it seems pretty highly regarded.

Kinda sickening, there's the fetus mutant from The Suckling:
Seeing that Freaks the movie got referred here often along with the movie REC, I'm surprised a lot of horror movies isn't offering work to some of the more deformed/scarred people for work. Seriously, some of the best stuff is done in realistic fashion, that's why we cringe at orgish videos.

I remember visiting Universal Studios as a kid and we were waiting in line for the ET ride. I kept on asking my mom, "is this real??" because I was terrified of seeing ET.
Not the scariest movie .... but the Pale Man from Pan's Labyrinth has potentian to be the scariest shit to ever scary
aaah this!
