In no particular order:
- Poisonous [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_jellyfish] sea [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonefish] creatures [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_snail]. Poisonous land creatures? I can run, climb or otherwise escape most of them. In the water though? Not so easy. Especially with that damn box jellyfish, which you probably won't even see until after it's ruined your day.
- Murderers/Rapists. I'm putting them in the same category because they scare me for the same reason; What goes on in the minds of people capable of pulling off such heinous acts? How can a mind become so twisted and broken?
- Religious fundamentalism. People filled with hate and violence, acting not out of any rational thought or logical reasoning, but out of some deluded faith or belief? That's more horrifying to me than any 'monster'.
