I remember being taken to the cinema to see this at the time. I was absolutely terrified by the Bette Davis character but was too scared to leave as I thought she would come after me

Being left alone in the car. Used to think it would drive off by itself
My brother had this fear too! Specifically the black cisterns. My granny had (still has) one of these toilets in her house and he would refuse to use the toilet whenever we visited. She also has an old yellow(!) outside toilet with the overhead cistern which looks like it belongs in a museumI’ve had a lifelong fear of overhead toilet cisterns, which nobody has ever understood, yet someone earlier in the thread shares my fear (black toilet seats on white toilets too, with a black cistern mounted high on the wall with a pull chain).
it has never been used and is covered in cobwebs but occasionally he would sometimes have a look at it just to remind himself how much he hated it 
My granny's toilet cistern is the original one with her house so it is pretty old now and I read recently that these were full of asbestos?!

The political commentator John Curtice looks exactly like that skeleton (in a nice way)!
And as loads have already said, I was terrified of the wheelers and Mombie on Return to Oz
I always found the moomins scaryNot me personally and not terrifying like some here but rather a cute one: I know somebody who was afraid of the Smurfs as a kid
no idea why, but he got over it.
Memory unlocked lol! When my kid was small, he bleeping hated this lion, I think it's the eyes, didn't they roll around?
War and German soldiers marching down my street. I watched The Great Escape one Christmas (it used to be in all the time back then) and it gave me a dream so vividly that I can remember it to today some 48-50 years ago!
Is that the episode that got banned?Memory unlocked lol! When my kid was small, he bleeping hated this lion, I think it's the eyes, didn't they roll around?
Moondial! I think it was called Moondial! A post about this kids’ TV programme from 1988 popped up on Facebook and the photos took me back. I’ll have to try to find a way to watch it to see if anyone did actually get buried alive in it or I imagined that bit…
I remember the theme music from that TV show Strange but True used to give me the creeps as well
They're creepy as duck!
Used to terrify me. My mum would go out to work in the evening and my dad would watch it and I'd be so upset
. Worra b.The 999 theme tune was a bit tense too.
Yep, the Moomins... 
. And especially that Groke character!

I’m sure I read once there is a Moominland (like Disneyland). I watched it as a kid but I remember finding it weird and not really understanding it lol.
All clowns, but especially the one in Poltergeist that attacks Robbie. In adult life have always had Divan beds for the sole reason (however irrational) no people hiding underneath and gonna grab my ankles or slide out and get me.
