They are fictional, and because of this it brings a lesser level of terror present when regarding them. People on the other hand are very much real, and capable of horrid things. The level of torture, cruelty, and malicious intention expressed by people is greater than that of any fictional creature. Yes, creators can make horrors that would be beyond anything within our reality, to extreme body horror, mutilation, and other aspects. However, you will never have to fear these things happening to you. Also, within a fictional universe you are the god of your creation. You can be the most dangerous thing within the forest of your making. In real life these are predators more powerful, intelligent, and influential than you are. And you are entirely dependent on whether or not they hold you in good graces. You're safety, comfort, and livelihood is dependent on whether or not they decide you can keep those things. I believe there is nothing more terrifying than the evil behind the eyes of all who stand around you day by day.
