Judge Doom – Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)
Released in 1988, Who framed Roger Rabbit is a pioneering work combining animation and live-action genres, with special effects.
Actor Christopher Lloyd startled children when he played the role of a black-shirted enforcer of justice.
The film’s scary factor is also heightened thanks to an inspired creative decision from Lloyd.
“If the character just looks like that then it makes him even more ominous rather than scary.
Medusa – Clash of the Titans (1981)
Clash of the Titans (1981) is the last big screen project of legendary animator Ray Harryhausen.
Towards the end of the film, Perseus faced the snake-headed Medusa… Or rather, he didn’t, because the creature would turn its victims to stone if looked directly at.
Medusa may have lost her head, but the terrifying scene left many young viewers (and maybe a few older ones) with sleepless nights.
Grand High Witch – The Witches (1990)
Director Nicolas Roeg is famous for his surreal and fascinating images.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit director Robert Zemeckis released a new adaptation in 2020, with Anne Hathaway as the ultimate witch.
Jaws – The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
The character Jaws played by Richard Kiel appears in both The Spy who Loved Me and Moonraker, but if the first time he appeared he was just a cruel henchman, the second time he became heroic and tragic.
The horrifying scene when Jaws killed an investigator at the pyramid was deeply imprinted in the memories of many viewers.
Richard Kiel is the man behind the molars.
Skeksis – The Dark Crystal (1982)
Creator Jim Henson brought audiences into the magical world of The Dark Crystal in 1982. Those expecting cute frogs and karate-chopping pigs will be surprised by this very dark, full-blown film.
Skeksis’s creations are the key to haunting children’s dreams.
Chamberlain’s image is especially memorable for his repeated and disturbing use of the word “Mmmmm!”
The character of Frank Oz became a tragic figure, in a truly shocking scene where he was brutally dissected by his Skeksis brothers.
Netflix’s prequel series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (2019) brought back the Muppet-fueled monsters to terrify the younger generation…
Freddy Krueger – A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
Actor Freddy Krueger became a main character after his debut in Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).
There is no doubt that many young people regretted watching the bloody scenes.
Robert Englund has played Freddy in many films and television shows.
“There is nothing more private than your dreams. They are like a secret diary or a drawer in your desk.
Evil Queen – Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)
