I'd pick these ones, considering that Freddy Krueger, Michael Meyers and the rest of the lot have all been turned into a joke:
Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) - The Shining
Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) - Psycho
Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) - The Silence of the Lambs |

I'm still good with Freddy and Michael. Even Jason was pretty scary in Friday the 13th Part 2. Well, when I was 13. I'm not sure I'd consider Jack Torrance a "bogeyman," but I'm good with Norman.
I'd also list:
Candyman
Sadako
Lector
the Zuni fetish doll
Pennywise
I'm assuming this list doesn't include monsters, hence, no Alien, Bruce (Jaws), Thing or the like. I also don't necessarily consider Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, Imhotep or any of the Universal monsters bogeymen.

Hmm... I wonder why you made that choice. I mean, Pennywise is not portrayed as a terrifying character in the film IT (which, in my opinion, is an appalling movie that totally rapes the book). Rather, the director opted to illustrate him as a comic character that doesn't manage to scare people at all (at least that's what I thought). We all float down here... |

Maybe I'm coming more off the book.

Sloth, The Goonies. Gave me nightmares in 1985.

Exactly. And that's one of my childhood favorites, by the way. |

Anyone who can giggle like a schoolgirl who has just heard the word 'boobies' while performing major surgery on themselves has got my respect.
