    Not a cartoon, but Thunderbirds scared the life out of me. Apparently I would scream anytime they were on TV.

    I wasn't keen on the Bozos or whatever you called them in Fraggle Rock either.

    Does AH not allow pics? Or do they have to be enabled by the thread starter?

    Not a cartoon, but E.T scared the living bejaysis out of me as a child. Still don't like looking at him to be honest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,867 ✭✭✭knucklehead6


    The Banshee from Darby O Gill and the little people. She was animated, therefore a cartoon. And she put the sh1ts up me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,417 ✭✭✭Archeron


    The evil female baddies in the terrahawks.

    That's odd. I actually don't a cartoon character ... I don't think but it's a pity that you can't embed images on these sorts of threads

    The Doozers?

    In America I used them to explain the Irish building boom/bubble. Guys constructing buildings in inappropriate places for absolutely no reason.

    Was always so weirded out by Ren and Stimpy. Not the characters themselves per se just the way they acted and what they got up to

    The original Scooby bloody Doo.

    I had the curtains in my bedroom, I was convinced the characters were moving on them, they terrified me to the point that my mum had to take them down and give them away.

    Pity he couldn't get the better of that irritating twat of a Tweety bird and his oversized balloon of a head.

    Berkeley Beetle and Grundel Toad from Thumbelina used to really freak me out.

    My older brother had a Viz video which I watched when I was about ten. Sid the sexist was alright but the two fat slags left me a bit traumatised.

    There are some doors that should never be opened.
    The Nightmare before Christmas gave me the creeps but Coraline by the same Tim Burton seems to have been really disturbing for my little girl.
    And I can appreciate why

    Buttoneye is a scary affliction from a disturbed imagination, NSFK


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,644 ✭✭✭cml387


    Somebody mentioned Thunderbirds?

    How about this, an ancestor of Thunderbirds.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 879 ✭✭✭Kablamo!


    Ursula from The Little Mermaid still gives me heebie jeebies. Total wagon she was


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,765 ✭✭✭The Golden Miller


    The used to be a show years ago, a sketch in looney toons or something of that ilk, can't quite remember, where there was a family with a daughter and son. The older daughter used to get mad and turn into a monster, and the rest of the family had the procedure of grabbing helmets out of a cupboard and jumping under the table when it happened, while the monster/daughter would run out of the house through the wall when transformed. I think that used to be the opening sequence whenever that sketch came on.

    Used to terrify me when i was little f or some reason
