That might have bothered me a little when I was quite little, but we got an NES when I was 11 and I can think of several games on that which were scarier. :P
Does anyone remember the episode when Evil Jimmy tricks Jimmy into thinking he's good, and creates a new world that's sapping reality from earth? Jimmy proceeds to reverse the process, killing every one of the billions of evil humans. He killed a species. That's xenocide.
In the episode "Revenge Of The Chip" there's a scene where Arthur's mom is on the phone and at one point her head turns into a giant pair of lips. Talk about Body Horror!
The terrifying-ness of SpongeBob SquarePants is lampshaded in 30 Rock, where after Kenneth gets cable TV for the first time, he remarks "Is SpongeBob SquarePants SUPPOSED to be so terrifying?"
BROCCOLI! Motherfuckin' broccoli. Think about it: they look like tiny trees. So what the hell happened to those trees to make them so tiny. This troper can't stop imagining eating screaming little elves when he eats broccoli. His aversion to broccoli is so strong, he has panic attacks around any leafy green vegetable.

That's not made up. I'm pretty sure I saw that one time.
N's Room. Oh man, N's room.Picture this: you walk through two huge, grandiose doors, and suddenly you hear an extremely creepy music box. Cut to inside the room, you find that it's the kind of room a baby would have. The room is brightly decorated with cloud designs, there's a basketball court, a skating ramp, a train set, a bed, etc. All of them are practically rainbow-colored, and the room belongs to someone clearly no older than at least his late teens.
Gorebyss: despite its beautiful looks, "it consumes its prey by sucking out the victim's body fluids". Or to quote Gorebyss's Pokédex entry from Emerald, "Its light pink body color turns vivid when it finishes feeding." Its name is a portmanteau of the words "gore" and "abyss".
Golbat. From the Pokédex, we learn that Golbat "feasts upon the blood of both people and Pokémon and does not stop until it is full", and Golbat is 1.6m tall and weighs 55 kilograms (5 feet, 3 inches, and 121 pounds). In caves and at night, they can be found everywhere.
Shouldn't that be expected of Pokemon? I mean they literally have magic powers. And a lot of real-life creatures are deadly already. Wouldn't even deadlier Pokemon be a logical extension?
The glitch Pokemon scared me as a kid, but that has less to do with the Pokemon themselves and more to do with how they can fuck up your save file and/or cartridge.
The weirdest thing was when I was dicking around on an Emerald romhack I found a glitched pokemon which was a giant question mark that made a slowpoke noise. I captured it and crashed the VBA trying to check it's stats, then, when I quit and try to play skyrim, all of my skyrim saves were corrupted.
Still pretty sure that I did something dumb with my HDD, but still..
From the Pokémon Y Pokédex entry for Gourgeist: "It enwraps its prey in its hairlike arms. It sings joyfully as it observes the suffering of its prey."

There's probably equally stupid stuff to be afraid of in the real life Nightmare Fuel section though.

but its still not f
for serious, tho, i do like the Lavender Town theme
it's not scary but i think it creates the right atmosphere for the level
that and pokémon are generally thought of as cute i guess

The Sonic The Hedgehog drowning music in Sonic games.
But, then again, I have a deeply-ingrained fear of drowning.
