In the movies, I thought the Balrog and the cavetroll were really frightening. In the books, it was the ringwraiths that gave me the creeps. Maybe it's just me, but things seem to be even more menacing when you read them. Maybe it's the fact that I have problems putting faces on characters, so all the characters are very mysterious, especially the evil ones. When you see them defined for you on the screen, it kinda takes away from the intensity of fear I have when I read about them.
