i found the Mayor pretty scary (pre-snake). Just cause he was so darn cheerful about everything he was doing.

True. And there were those rare moments that you got a glimpse of just how dangerous he could be. Very chilling in a way.

The mayor never really creeped me out, but Faith certainly did when she's strangling Xander and making out with him at the same time. Squicky.
The scariest person I've always thought was Wesley from the episode Billy in Angel. He was very serial killer in that episode, I was actually scared for Fred's life.

oh yeah, Wes was errifying in that! although there's agreat blooper where he slams the axe into the door and he yanks it back and the blade is stuck in the door still and he's just holding the handle and then he leans in and knocks gently on the door with the broken handle.  |

I thought the ghost-demon-thing in "After Life" was pretty scary--especially when it posessed Anya, and she was cutting up her face and laughing all creepily...  |

The Gentlemen by far.
Caleb was pretty freaky too.

Thinking about Big Bads (because my mind was mostly focused on Monster-of-the-Week when I wrote my first post), the Mayor was definitely uber-creepy. I also felt really uneasy with Gloria anywhere near the Scoobies, because she had all that power and yet all she does is taunt them, ENDLESSLY. I really like that uneasy tension building up, like "Oh man, when is she going to strike at them? 'Cause when she does it wont' be pretty". The Mayor, in a way, had that too. I think Adam would have been pulled off much better with that kind of tension if he'd been introduced sooner - it certainly would have made me like Season Four more than I do.

When I first watched the show, Der Kindertod was the scariest by far for me. When he walks past Buffy's door as she's reeling from the fever - that moment put the fear in me bad when I was 13. However, now it's the Queller for sure. It's just so insectile and nasty. Vomming over people and suffocating them with it. Yeek!

Scariest demons are The Gentlemen out of Hush.

The Gentlemen. My heart kept trying to jump out of my mouth, they were so creepy.
EDIT-
Pretty hard for me to judge, since I was about ten years old when I watched the first seasons, so those monsters scared me much more in my first watch than the later demons did.
For example, wig lady might have made me wet my pants as a kid, but now, meh.
The moon-demon from Listening to fear was suberb tough. But the earlier villians had something the later didn't.

I was always really scared by the Gnarl, especially with the skin-eating. I'm normally not grossed out by anything on this show, but it watching him eat Willow's stomach literally made me queasy. It was bad! Otherwise, I found the demon in the Initiative to be very creepy, in a hybrid-28 days later/Resident Evil type of way.
Plus the First coming to ''get'' Joyce out of Buffy's house in CWDP was genuinely frightening. I've gotta give the directors/producers some credit, they really know how to scare the viewers!

The Gnarl scared me so much when I was a kid that I had to change the channel. I had nightmares for a full week after. |

Balthazar might have been the grossest.

Balthazar might have been the grossest. Balthazar definitely gets the award for grossest demon.  I thought the ghost-demon-thing in "After Life" was pretty scary--especially when it posessed Anya, and she was cutting up her face and laughing all creepily... That was a really creepy/horror movie sort of moment. Anya: Did I look like that? I hope I didn't look like that.
Williow: No, I'm sure you looked really glamorous cutting up your face. Cracks me up.  |

There wasn't much that freaked me out, but I remember when I was 13 and "The Puppet Show" first aired. Sid was just so creepy to me. I'm surprised no one else mentioned him. The rotating head...the quick footsteps coming from the dark. Of course once he was revealed to be a good guy...well he was still creepy but not really scary anymore.
I also got to agree about the Gnarl. He definitely gave me goosebumps and the scene with him & Willow trapped in the cave was just so disgusting.

Agreed about Sid. But then just about any ventriloquist dummy will creep me out... hate them.
Gnarl, yeah definitely creepy. It was the sing-song voice and the shadows that made him so freaky.
Not so scary looking but the.. er.. not even going to attempt to spell it - the pokey demon in Normal Again. The idea that it could pull you into another world so convincingly, give you hallucinations like that is a pretty scary one.
