I think 10 or so would be over the limit. How many **Frosty The Snow Men** would it take to make you freeze in terror? ---

Obnoxious but doable – I’ll limit it to five only because the room would get too cold. (That horrible little girl with the earmuffs, though, would make me shiver.) How many **Cats in the Hat** (Mike Myers edition) would leave you spraying and clawing the furniture? ---

So far just one in the previews has done it. How many **Ghostbusters** would it take to make you cross the streams? ---

\*VENKMAN: Ray has gone bye-bye, Egon… what’ve you got left? SPENGLER: Sorry, Venkman, I’m terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought. … RAY: Cross the streams……\* None from Ghostbusters, If they are form a movie that allegedly was called Ghostbusters II, crossing the streams would be a good idea. How many **Sam Spade** [s], form _The Maltese Falcon_ would become the stuff your nightmares are made of? ---

2 Sam Spades would drive me around the bend. The voice just gets under my skin. (Not to mention the cigarette smoke.) How many Ewoks could dance around and worship you as a golden god before you got out your blaster and made a fur coat out of the little buggers? ---

Just one would bve annoying enough. How many **Ignatius J. Reilly’s** could you handle before deciding to get out of New Orleans? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-how-many-would-be-scary-game-characters-edition/211747.md?page=3)
