The fire siren from the local chemical plant going off. I thought the nazis were invading.

I still get a chill when I hear it.

I'm sorry, but since when do people "local" chemical plants?

With Alarms?

Going off?

"Just popping down the local shop, love. Need anything?"
"Pint of Milk?"
"Sure. Anything else?"
"Hmmmm ... oh yeah, could you nip by the local chemical plant and pick me up three litres of propylene oxide?"
"No bother."

Well its a chemical plant that's local to me. I'm actually not sure what they produce in it. (Edit: Oh Biocides, apparently). But an alarm goes off usually on Wednesdays at 12.30pm. I think its a safety alarm/drill they do in case there is a fire or spill.

And it sounds like the Nazis are coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember hardly any of it, bar the multi-faced witch. I either blocked out the traumatic memories or I spent longer behind the couch than I can remember.

Even out of curiousity, I wouldn't watch it now.

what scared me at the time (was 9 or 10), was Pennywise from Stephen King's IT

Electricity pylons - scared the hell out of me!

The ones in my area had red lights on top so I thought they were where Santy would have a break when he was going around the world...

I don't think anything can compare to walking in on your parents having sex. Looking back on it now i think why the f*ck didn't they just lock the door and save me from years of trauma.

This happened to me recently and at the age of 23 it's isn't any less disturbing seeing it at this age as it would be as a child. GET A LOCK!!

Wharf from Star Trek.
Wierd noises outside in the dark.
The Headless Horseman.

My own imagination basically. Except for the Star Trek thing. Don't know what the hell.

Ah, the old vaginaphobia is rampant these days. Nothing to be ashamed of there. You need to befriend it - as you would a wild stoat - and from this will come acceptance of the organ.

Mae Young's breasts in the WWF... and then when she gave birth to a hand

pablomakaveli · 06-02-2011 02:57AM

When i was about 3-4 i woke up one night and ran downstairs for some reason to the living room. My mom had fallen asleep and the tv was on. I remeber the Bravo channel was on and there was this really weird movie on. In the movie a man kissed another man and then one of them melted so there was a pile of red goo with two eyeballs in it.

To this day i have no idea what the hell that movie was called or what the hell it was about but for a few years afterwards i thought that if a man kissed another man they would melt into red goo.

I'm sick of people trying to blame Bravo for their homophobia :mad:

nisior · 06-02-2011 03:03AM

Does anyone remember that film about 'cat-humans', they were people who had the soul of a cat or something? I think they were killing people in this villiage. It used to scare the poop outta me just thinking about it. I only saw it once on Network 2 (as it was called) and it was the first night I ever stayed up past 12 and I regretted it ever since. No idea what the film was called and never saw it again.

Buceph · 06-02-2011 03:05AM

Another one from me. (Although I'm not surprised, I still can't watch horror films.)

About twenty years ago there was a fire alarm ad that used play from about 4am until about 6am, over and over on a loop. It had the smoke snake around the house and a creepy voiceover. Terrified me.

You wouldn't have considered changing the channel at some point between 4 and 6am no??
