17: Hyouryuu Kyoushitsu (Drifting Classroom) which I read in elementary school.
18: This here is a dinosaur person.
19: That scene in the manga The Kindaichi Case Files where a skeleton buried in the school walls watches them.
28: That scene in USO Japan where the guy jumped and a face appeared in the window.
480: >>477 The picture isn’t very scary.
484: >>480 It’s easier to understand if you watch the video.
37: The McDonald’s clown is scary. I’m terrified of clowns.
45: Clowns are scary.
47: >>45 Don’t scare me like that, lol.
40: Hatamonba from Nu~be~
41: The Exorcist.

52: Kuchisake-onna.
53: The scene in Mad Max where the eyeballs go flying.
57: Goke, Body Snatcher from Hell. The poster alone is terrifying.
60: >>57 Amazing.
61: Gigigi.
84: Even now I reckon most kids’ first traumatic experience is with Hadashi no Ken.
75: Zashiki-onna.
She was created in a time when not just the word “stalker” but even the idea of the concept didn’t exist. She’s an amazing Mochizuki Minetaro character.
132: >>75 The word “stalker” didn’t exist, but the crime has been around forever.
80: The last picture the creator of Crayon Shin-chan drew. That bright red picture gave me trauma. Although apparently it’s fake.
98: The Snake Woman in the World Yokai Illustrated Encyclopedia.
640: >>98 Hey hey that’s still scary to look at.
112: A Chagall painting in the hall of my elementary school. I dunno the name of it but the guy’s head was hanging upside down. I still don’t understand why such a scary picture was in an elementary school.
113: There was a small girl looking at us through the window in our elementary class photo. That ghost photo was scary.
121: Tarman.
128: Nikura Iwao. He’s Japanese, but when I was a kid I couldn’t understand why his name was “Iwao” so it scared me.
134: The thing that came out of a praying mantis’s body. It wasn’t an urban legend or anything, it was seriously a parasite or something.
172: Edogawa Ranpo.
188: I saw a huntsman spider when I got out of the bath as a kid so I’ve been terrified of spiders ever since.
189: When I was younger, I was scared of Kinomi Nana.
223: The burnt mannequins in the Osaka Sennichi Department Store Fire.
528: >>223 Holy crap.
271: >>223 So the mannequins burned but not the clothes. I wonder if the plastic inside melted like when you bake something in a covered pan?
244: About 25 years ago the TV kept repeating this tape of a woman burning alive screaming, “It’s hot, it’s hot, it’s hot…”
267: >>244
270: >>267 Hey hey hey…
I won’t be able to sleep tonight…
263: The phantom in The Kindachi Case Files looking in the window.
281: It’s gotta be this.
**Title says “Which Child Isn’t Sleeping?”
292: A picture book called “Mori no Obake” (Monster of the Forest)
299: I still see this in my dreams.
338: >>299 Looks just like something I scribbled once, lol.
300: Forget about when you were a kid, quit sharing stuff that gives me trauma now, lol.
388: As an adult I think it’s a little creepy, but when I was in elementary school and playing Majora’s Mask, this seriously gave me trauma.
390: There was some zombie movie where the girl says to the guy “Don’t forget me…” as she rots.
467: >>390 Isn’t that Return of the Living Dead? They escape to the attic but the guy gets bitten and turns into a zombie, then he bites the girl and she says that to him.
403: Upside-down Man.
496: >>403 For some reason I’m hearing the boss music in FF3.
456: There was a boy on Unbelievable who had a friend that no one else could see. The likeness picture of that.
457: >>456 Yuu-chan.
417: That famous Dr Hayashi copypaste.
“You might not believe me, but it’s possible that your younger brother exists only in your mind.”
That scared the crap outta me.
**This copypaste stems from someone writing to a doctor for advice about a younger brother who refused to leave the house. After hearing all the details, this was part of his response.
