It's on the Discovery channel right now and it's official. Deep Sea Creatures scare the hell out of me.
This is really an amazing program with the best video of freaky creatures I've ever seen. I highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't frighten easily.

the creatures come in two categories:
Eye and teeth with fins.
or
Disco

plus since there is so little light and what light there is is blue a lot of the fish are blood red in color so you can't see them.
 
Well, this one at least isn't entirely toothless:
