He's not technically a muppet, but I didn't like Hoggle from "The Labyrinth" He just creeps me out.

I used to go out of the room when statler and waldorf said their final thought of every Muppet Show. It's probably cos they looked scary and use to either hit each other or chuck each other out of the balcony. I remember on the Marisa Berenson episode when they chuck Kermit out of the box at the end of the episode and I cried and ran out of the room. I dont anymore though.

I was kind scared of Cookie Monster and the Count at first, but then I liked them. Hmm...oh and Crazy Harry, I still don't like him. Also, a lot of the pirates from MTI, I was still kind of young when it came out.

Hugga Wugga, Sweetums on occasion, lots of acts in Muppet Weird Stuff ("All Of Me", "Hugga Wugga", "You Do Something To Me", "I've Got You Under My Skin"), I think possibly Gorgon Heap too.

Worst one has got to be the Letter E from Sesame Street's Letter of the Day. I always changed the channel or turned off the TV when that came on. Something about the blond hair, the tiny eyes and lips, and the squeaky little voice by Richard Hunt. That letter E gave me one nightmare that I remember to this day (because I thought it was real and ran into my parents' bedroom). I turned over in bed, and there was that E (though I think it had buttons on it like a calculator) and it said, in a low, male voice, "Good night pal. Poison dreams." And I ran out screaming!

Just thought I'd share that with you. I'm going to go hang my head in shame now.

I was never scared by the Muppets but I have a fried who gets freaked out by the Thunderbirds. I think it's their mouths that are scary.

Also I love Sesamie Streets letter puppets. I will always remember Z best.

Sam used to scare me. i dont know why. i think it was because he reminded me of Gordon off Thomas the tank engine (the grumpy blue engine) cuz they were both blue and never up beat! hehe, but thats a looooooooooooooong time ago!
