    I was terrorised by the TV Incredible Hulk.What really got me was the opening sequence where he was transforming and they show this sudden close up shot of his eyes where theyve changed and gone all creepy..:eek:

    I think it showed a human skull-x ray thingy when he changed. I was totally freaked out by skulls as a kid.

    Punch and Judy shows used to scare me-not just the puppetry, but the sinister voices too.

    On mobile its easier to just copy the url and edit it. All you need from it is the number/letter sequence right after the v=
    Then you just put that in between the tags eg.

    [YOUTbube ]
    g5fx33dcxt7
    [ /YouTube ]


    (with no spaces and spelt right. Touch site is being weird ) (and that's a random sequence so I've no idea if it's a real video or not :pac: )

    Anyway, on topic.
    Fcuk Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Bastard had me terrified of the cinema for ages!

    There were few things more shudder inducing than the intro to Chocky.

    He actually looked more terrifying in real life later on. Big plastic face and creepy behaviour.

    So. ****ing. Scary. Many sleepless nights thanks to that auld bitch



    Was, for all intents and purposes, a paedophile. Thought he was going to lure me into a cage with the promise of lollipops!

    And finally, Hugo - Bart's evil twin from Simpson's treehouse of horror VII; probably the only child ever to have actually been frightened by one of those...although it is a genuinely creepy episode!

    Bastard things but I was addicted.
    Constant stories about ghosts, aliens, monsters etc and I belived every little bit of it. Even with Unsolved Mysteries I managed to convince myself that the regular kidnappings and murders were the work of aliens :pac: Terrified that witches and ghosts were gonna get me in my sleep :o

    Anybody else remember things from the past that had you terrified? TV shows, stories etc? :)


    That friggin unsolved mysteries had me freaked indeed as a kid. A combination of the story, the music and Robert Stack's voice(RIP).

    Indiana Jones and the temple of doom, how the fook did that get a PG rating?
    :eek:

    There was an episode of Worzel Gummidge where the crowmaster showed Worzel a scarecrow he could not finish because he was too evil. He had no eyes, tried to burn Worzel on a bonfire from what i recall! :O

    There was this BBC tv adaptation of Great Expectations shown in the early 80s and the scene where Pip is threatened in the graveyard by the escaped convict scared the hell out of me.

    I was terrified of men with long hair, there was this comedian called Max Wall with long straggly hair who scared the crap out of me.
    The witch off of the Wizard of Oz, and the flying monkeys.
    Sapphire and Steele
    Planet of the Apes, the "monkey men" terrified me.
    Any real life programmes with women giving birth, can remember hiding behind my nanny's sofa:)
    The video for Bohemian Rhapsody freaked me out completely, it was the disembodied heads part.
    I was a nervous child:-(

    Oh yeah, and the David Bowie song " Space Oddity". Still gives me a pain in my belly today:'(
