    I don't know what it is, but there's something about Abadon's face-paint that makes her look genuinely chilling, like, even people like Muta and Rosemary look like regular people with face-paint, Abadon looks like she was a zombie that was just resurrected an hour before she went out to wrestle. Nice that she gets some much deserved love.

    Underrated scary wrestler: Mankind during his original heel-run from 96 to early 97. What would later become a cuddly teddybear with a silly shirt and tie and sweappants, started as a genuinely terrifying mad man, who delivered unhinged promos like nobody else, squealed like a pig during matches and ripped his own hair out, and just seemed to be unstoppable, being the first real threat to the friggin' Undertaker in years. To me as a kid and massive HBK-mark, nothing seemed as terrifying than the announcement that Michaels would have to defend the WWF Championship against this lunatic at the Mindgames PPV. How was he supposed to win? Even Taker couldn't stop this guy and was 0-2 on PPV against him.

    From what I started noticing as I watch more of the Undertaker was he seems less like a supernatural ghost op zombie wrestler thing but instead the aura he gave off was more of that of a old western legend or spirit, some mysterious bearded guy in a trench coat wearing a cowboy hat who suddenly shows up through the mist and defeats the new hotheaded gunslinger and disappears back into the desert. Kinda like Batman, hes almost like a myth until he actually shows up only for a few minutes, gets the job done, then disappears, sound familiar?

    I could probably make a whole different List just based on Lucha underground tbh. Surprised to see no one from it make the List. Think Matanza at least deserves a Mention, the Mask, the Power, the late introduction as an unleashed beast when Dario Cueto gets desperate. It just clicked. And thats in a Promotion that already had Mil Muertes and the Death tribe roaming around, ruling the Temple at some point. The Blood-feud that Killshot and Fox had, the unnerving Weirdness of Marty the Moth and the by far scariest version of Pentagon Jr., especially once he defeated Vampiro and became Pentagon Dark.

      Marty doesn't get nearly enough respect for how damn scary he could be. When he tore Fenix's mask and went full Abdullah the Butcher on his forehead with a fork right in front of Melissa Santos while shouting that he loves her and he's doing it for her, I straight-up shuddered. Also, Vibora. There's a _world_ of difference between Vibora in LU and Luchasaurus in AEW beyond a mask redesign- Vibora actually _felt_ like something not entirely human, and was so unstoppable that I firmly believe they killed him off in a cinematic backstage scene (with Taya beheading him with a sword) just because they couldn't come up with a scenario where he could be plausibly pinned in an in-ring match.

You could argue that his more tamer alter ego, Joseph Parks, was - with hindsight now - slightly scary in its own way that Abyss was able to pull off a deceptively charming alter ego that gave off vibes of split-personality disorder, but "The Monster" side of him would always show whenever even a small amount of his blood appeared.

    Some interesting picks here. Surprised you didn't include Waylon Mercy or Matanza (I'm also very partial to Mil Muertes, particularly at the start of season 2 of Lucha Underground where he was champion and Catrina controlled the promotion and Mil reigned over the Temple like Shao Khan). Also, I would argue that The Undertaker was actually scary on the occasion of his debut match at Survivor Series 1990. When Ted DiBiase finished introducing him and he strode out to the echoes of DiBiase's iconic evil laugh, people had _never_ seen anything quite like him before. You could see actual fear in the eyes of some of the people in the audience as this silent, black-clad monster _stalked_ to the ring to the strains of a funereal dirge. Roddy Piper's commentary ("LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT HAM-HOCK! CHECK OUT THOSE DRUMSTICKS, BABY!") may have slightly undermined the effect, but for that first match he was a true _monster._

    I think in terms of IRL wrestlers New Jack is the scariest as he legitimately intends to kill you and has absolutely no regard for the safety of anyone else in the process. As a human being he is terrifying. In terms of wrestling gimmick I found the fiend to be the scariest character I have personally seen. Not only because the joker vibes I get from the firefly fun house but everything about the fiend specifically from his horror entrance music to the way he looks like he's murdering someone with the mandible claw to the sheer immobile no-selling. Let me in still gives me chills.

    Undertaker will forever be the greatest spooky/mysterious character but of course because he was cool and really good in the ring. He wasn't scary, but his intense aura made him captivating.
    Kane I'd say has the best debut for a scary character and was imposing for a few good years.
    Abandon, glad she got recognition, will hopefully see more screen time and work her way to being one of the best.
    The Fiend's downfall will forever be a tragedy, but at least in the beginning, he carried the company and was a monstrous presence.
