What games/enemies scared you as a kid?

The original Tomb Raider. The fact that every game on the PS1 looked so dark, it had a shitty camera, and the wolves always barking made it hard for me to play the first level. Also, the fact that there was no noise and no other people made the mansion part really creepy.
They scared me so much that at night, I would either run as fast as I could or just hold down the shield button (as young link with hyrule shield) until morning camePimppeter2 said:
Also the Robot Pirates from Rayman 2 (I think), even though they were probably easy enemies to face in retrospect, I dreaded every encounter with them.
I was not necessarily a kid then, but there was a castle in Alex Kidd in the Miracle World. I breezed through the rest of the game, but the music in that castle as well as the ramped up challenged freaked me out. The same for the ghost levels in one of those Mario games. Something about the music that put me off.
More recently, around ten years ago, playing the original Clocktower scared the piss out of me. And a few years ago when I played Zelda OOT for the first time, that as well. Everyone seems to fear the well of DOOM.

Facehuggers. Always facehuggers. The stealthy ones that creep up and jump out of no where are pretty bad. But I hate whenever you see one in the distance, fire a few shots and go to check the body which IS NOT THERE. *Cries*
The only thing I can remember being scared of is sweet tooth's photo from the first twisted metal. my brother played it and made me be scared of video games (7 at the time) until I was comforted by an NSX in gran turismo, reassuring me that games were awesome and not scary.
the fking Zombie things from Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. Also, the fking Moon from Majora's Mask. Well, the Moon was more creepy than scary but whatever.
Any section in a game where you have to swim or go in water scares me now because of the eel in Super Mario 64.

MediEvil did it for me. I had a huge fear of skeletons when I was younger (weird I know) so that game always freaked me out.
CarnEvil did it for me later. It was an arcade shooter that I must've spent $50.00 on over the years.
EDIT: OH! And the bedroom course from Twisted Metal 4. All of the blood on the walls just kind of freaked me out.

The licker in Resident Evil 2 that jumps through the one-sided mirror in the police station. That fucked my shit up for awhile.
The Flood from Halo made me shit my pants.
I couldn't beat a couple of the levels without a buddy, and only if it was in the day time.
