Now that I've gone back and read the other comments I have to add a couple things.
You know the monster in The Neverending Story? That thing still gives me the shivers! I think it's partly that you don't really see him until he's dead, and partly that he's intelligent and rational, not some mindless killing machine.
Also, someone mentioned The Shining. Did you ever see the 1997 mini-series with Steven Weber? Some of the masks they used in that REALLY freaked me out; especially this one wolf-like mask. And the guy wearing it crawled on all fours and moved weirdly, and GAH!
So, yeah, masks can be really creepy (probably part of why I loathe clowns), and creatures that seem part-human part-animal are kinda freaky.
