 * 1) The Other Mother is, without a doubt, one of the scariest monsters in an animated film. The Other Mother is an entity from another world known simply as the Other World, and she lures children who had miserable lives into her world. She gives them their heart's desire, but they naturally wanted more. She would eventually talk them into letting her sew buttons over their eyes, after which, she murders them and feeds on their souls. What makes the Other Mother disturbing is the idea that she uses a doll to spy on the lives of children, and that she takes notes on it. One of the scariest scenes in that movie that regarded her was when she was commanding Coraline to take back what she said about her not being her mother. She started to get taller and to shapeshift into her second form as she started to count down to three. What should also be worth mentioning is her obsession with Coraline. Coraline wanted her parents to pay more attention to her, and the Beldam fixed that problem by giving Coraline endless attention to the point that it was uncomfortable. Coraline got her wish, but not in the way that she intended.
 * 2) The Beast from Over the Garden Wall is another disturbing villain. The Beast is an enigmatic creature who roams the woods of the Unknown in search of those who were suffering from despair. He sings a song in which he tries to get his victims to give in to despair in the hope that they would become Edlewood trees, which he would then use as oil to keep his lantern lit. He also got the Woodsman to help him by lying to him about his daughter's soul being in the lantern when it actually wasn't.
 * 3) The Lich was introduced in season two of Adventure Time, and he seems to be the most horrifying element in the show. The Lich is an undead sorceror whose sole goal is the complete destruction of all life. And trust me, he wouldn't stop at anything to achieve his goal. His design is scary, his voice is chilling, and the fact that he is so single-minded in his goal is a lot to be desired. There's also the fact that he could be taken as a metaphor for nuclear war, and the implication that he was a product of the Great Mushroom War.
