Not to continue an off topic thread,
(Maybe not Buddhism...any scary Buddhists I'm not remembering?
but just wanted to mention Aum Shinrikyo (the Tokya sarin gas group?)
The group reveres Shiva as their chief god, and is involved in ancient yoga, primitive Buddhism and Mahayanist Buddhist teachings. The group's ultimate aim is to 'save all living things from transmigration.' The group is often referred to as a new Buddhist sect, but it also claims to be an original religion based on Hinduism and created by Mr. Asahara
From: http://www.apologeticsindex.org/a06.html
They seem to be a fundamentalist conglomeration of Hinduism and Buddhism.
