3. Go Eat Worms!

Why It Scared You As A Kid: Todd is obsessed with worms- collecting them, doing experiments with them, chopping them in half to see what happens. But it turns out, the worms aren't that keen on Todd. After various minor-worm revenges (and an all-out worm on worm prank war between him and his sister), a giant worm attacks him, giving every child a reason to fear their own garden. Why It'll Scare You Now: This child is a straight up sociopath. He's chopping worms in half just to see what happens? And then when he gives that up, he starts killing butterflies for a new hobby? The stealth villain of this piece isn't the worms at all...it's Todd.
