    There was another one but I can't remember the name
    I know there were goblins and trolls and they had a song
    And the boss had a pit and if a solider failed him they would be thrown to the crabs in the pit to be killed :eek:
    Upsetting


    There was a cartoon also set in India with a fat cat as the Raj.
    And he'd have other characters executed


    You're thinking about The Dreamstone, the head nasty was called Zordrak I believe.

    Am **** at embedding. Have a nosy on YouTube, the scene you're talking about is in Ep1 I believe.

    I used to be frightened of Scooby Doo then they introduced that little **** Scrappy. Then it was just frighteningly bad.

    Does anyone else remember this programme on RTE and maybe even TG4 back in the mid 90's.
    I've no idea if it was all puppets or half puppets, half real actors.

    But, the main "Bad guy" was this kind of sock-puppet otter type of thing. And he planned to kidnap the children in the house, and bring them through the Wardrobe to his land / dimension.

    All I remember is that that character was really sinister, and to this day, the memory of him freaks the shoite out of me!

    The theme tune to wildfire used to freak me out...kinda like the trumpet solo in "My Lovely Horse"
    0:31 & 0:54

    I'll just leave this here:



    Asshole uploader put a loud scream at 0:25 but you'll get the idea of this cartoon before hand.

    nota "childhood cartoon" but still creepy in its day

    i have chucky 1- 5 and still love a good marathon of it - 5 is just awful though... awful :(
    Ya I know it's not exactly a childhood cartoon but I saw it in childhood because our older brothers weren't supposed to watch it so made us watch it as well so we couldn't tell lol :o Brothers are cruel :D
    Upload it to Image Shack and you'll get the code, not sure if that's the quickest way but it works.
    Thanks :)

    Ludwig, I guess. He was a diamond shaped voyeur, iirc

    The Banana Splits scared me too. There was something quite menacing about them.

    Also speaking of banana's, The Bananas In Pyjamas really frightened me as well. There was an underlying evil current to them.

    Dafthead from Worzel Gummidge used to scare the bejayus outta me




    Not all cartoons, but this one really freaked me out when I seen it as a child

    You have to be of a certain age but Flaherty's garden on Bosco was some surreal stuff.
    Rte always seemed to show it out of sequence so that just added to the eeriness.

    It was Beckett with stop motion animation.

    Ulysess was brilliant, some of the episodes were creepy enough...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 750 ✭✭✭Mr.Biscuits


    The Hooded Claw.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,976 ✭✭✭Brendog


    This scarred me for life...

    Courage the cowardly dog!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,976 ✭✭✭Brendog


    Ren and Stimpy, that show still disturbs me

    specifically remember one episode where Stimpy picks his belly button and gets pulled into it by "belly button fluff people" who attack him.

    Its like they were made by psychotic savages on acid.

    Mr Blobby.

    What madman thought children would warm to him?

    Not a cartoon I think but there used to be an ad for the TV license that scared me. It was about the 'TV SPONGERS' and had a sponge that was hung out on a washing line. Mam says I used to go and hide in the hedge when it came on.

    Does anybody remember that ad?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 914 ✭✭✭tommyboy2222




    Think this was called Under the Mountain . It was about some creepy aliens or something and it scared the crap out of me ! Looking at this clip I can see why!

    "TV spongers beware,the squeeze is on!"

    I remember that one alright, cheapo sponges sitting in front of the telly. It was quite a good ad as I remember, I think you would need to ask the RTE if they had it in their Archive if you wanted to see it again though.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,441 ✭✭✭old hippy


    I'd love to link to images for this one but I can never figure out which of the icons enables it...

    A film that Hanna Barbera made in the 60s about this kid who enters a cartoon world and encounters all manner of odd characters. Scared me senseless, aged 2 or 3 :D

    The Phantom Tollbooth

    Anyone ever see a cartoon called 'Adventure Time'. My housemate showed it to me recently. So, so creepy.
