In this thread we share childhood fears, compare boogeymen and things from movies and other stuff that hid in our cupboard or under our beds!
I was terrified of the scissorman/the tailor from Struwwelpeter, who cuts of the fingers of thumb-sucking children when I was a kid. He arrives instantly without a warning and never says a word, disappearing just as quickly when his horrible deed is done. Just look at that illustration and those spindly limbs! So we get disproportionate retribution, uncanny valley and jump scares to form one "neat" child-scaring package.
