In movies it's fairly easy to make a character very scary, like the guy from The Nightmare on Elmstreet or IT, but I feel like in books it's more difficult. That doesn't mean it isn't possible though! Here are some of my favourite scary characters in YA! Bellatrix LestrangeHARRY POTTER - J.K. ROWLING Voldemort I can deal with. Now Bellatrix is a whole other kind of scary. In the books she terrified me and in the movies she was perfectly portrayed and even scarier. RobTHE DROWNING - RACHEL WARD Mr. Creepy Ghost Boy with a Criminal Record in the house. Rob is the last person I'd want haunting me. Anyone who can kill an innocent dog is a monster to me. Coraline's Other ParentsCORALINE - NEIL GAIMAN I don't know if this is YA, but I do know I would not let a child read this, so I'm gonna count it. Coraline's Other parents with their button eyes were terrifying. I have the Tenth Anniversary edition of the book, which has these pictures of random scenes in the book, including some of the parents. Yikes. The QueenRED QUEEN - VICTORIA AVEYARD This one is more of a psychological fear than a genuine fear for my safety. The Queen can read people's minds, which is honestly the most terrifying thing ever. The notion that I am and will always be alone in my own head is scary, but someone else being there with me is even scarier. Those are my favourite scary characters from YA! What are yours? Let me know!
