    Not sure if it has been mentioned but the music for 'Children Of The Stones' had me hiding under a cushion for years.
    Anyone remember it?

    Did you get Chocky in Ireland?

    It was an english show that we got in Australia. Same writer as the Triffids.

    I didn't actually see this when I was a kid, I saw it on when I was an adult but it still freaked me out a little so I'd imagine if I did see it when I was a kid, I would have shat myself...

    It is not a cartoon and my description is going to be massively vague but I remember a show from - I think The Childrens channel - where two pre teens were going around with a magic rock each. There was also a mentor, a man who would show up occasionally to help them use the rocks.

    The rocks - which I think were egg shaped - when concentrated on enough would glow and become the only weapons that would be effective against the shows "monsters". I think only part of it glowed, though cant remember if it was one half or something deep in the rock.

    The monsters in this show were pretty much piles of tentacle slime which by size and shape were obviously men or women under blankets and hunched up.

    The monsters when moving would leave a trail of slime and make a weird kinds of "shooom" noise that almost sounded like a cheap effects laser gun.

    Vague I know but that is all I can remember but I remember that it used to freak the hell out of me. If I remember right the two kids kept splitting up and cornered and their magic rocks would only work when they were together.

    Freaky scary thing!

    that terrifying fcuking ad



    Ridley Scott's movie Legend used to freak the bejesus out of me, and it was alway on sky movies back in the 80's, especially the goblins and Meg Mucklebones



    and Tim curry as Darkness, one of the greatest makeup creations ever, skip to 4min30, even the way he appears out of the mirror is creepy as ****.
