Ya. I've a load of them emplyed in the sweat shop in my basement. There small size lets me fit more of them down more of them down there so i can have increased production of the shoddy runners i sell.

Get them to do small repetitive tasks passing the next stage onto the next child, rather then getting them each to do an entire shoe in one go.

Also, giving one of them the power to whip the others to work harder could boost moral. Rotate the whipper as he tires out.

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

It was the only channel playing anything, the other channel had just static.

No it was definitely a film. It was based in the States. I wish I remembered more about it and I tried to find it online so I could tell people about it but no luck. I remember for some reason certain humans couldn't see them like I remember a cop going up to a car and one of them was sitting in the passenger seat and he couldn't see him.

A bit in the X-Files where they showed an alien at the bottom of a girls bed peeping out, dont know but it scared me off watching it for a long time.

The zombie in Hocus Pocus.

Jack skellington - dont know why tbh, and oogie boogie from the same movie.

This green faced witch:eek: Scared the crap outta me

I was 4 at the time. I took everything as absolute fact, It did happen

This http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=747SKishQPg scared the livin daylights out of me....

Some grim stuff.

- The sound of the pigs being cut up in the abattoir, it was right beside the train station in Galway, sometimes you'd see the poor ****ers merrily running up the grate into the building. You could hear squeals and the circular saw. Ugh. Nothing says welcome to Galway like...

- My pet bird flying directly into the fire and burning up as I watched him struggle and my Mam trying to get him out and then not trying. Was in bits after that. Then my dad telling me that he did it because he hated having me as an owner.

- A dog getting his head knocked off by a lorry and it rolling along the road in front of me it's eyes still blinking and its mouth kinda chatting.

- Seeing a drowned dog with its legs tied to a stone in the canal.

- Seeing a swelled up dead body in the Corrib.

Told ya it was grim

My mam's hoover (for me it was a child eating machine), the bin truck (see hoover) and a 150cm toy giraffe belonging to my older cousin :eek:

Electricity pylons :eek:. I never realised fear of pylons was so common. I blame those safety ads from years ago.
The first Halloween film scared me quite badly.
The one that really got to me however was a really creepy old black and white film called the Nanny. I saw it when I was 8-9 and had nightmares for ages afterwards.
