A Giant Walrus!!

I remember watching Ghostbusters when it came out first and the opening scene in the Library with the old lady ghost reading the books. When she turned a bit evil and Dan Akroyd, Harold ramis and Bill Murray leg it, I nearly did the same out of the cinema!

Gave me a right ould shock :P

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Kali ma... Kali ma... Kali ma...

I ran away and watched that scene through the curtains... from outside the house!

The evil witch in Snow White used to scare me

So did Jim Carrey when he played The Mask

Jimmy Savile. My kid instincts were right.

It's uncanny how the main one looks/sounds like Bobcat Goldthwait.

I used to watch that Most Haunted tv show, and there was this episode where they visited a prison and Derek Acorah talked about an evil spirit that roamed the prison who was threatening to attack some of the female members of the cast. Cue a load of shouting and screaming, and Derek getting possessed:rolleyes: only to be brought back to reality again. Looking back know, I definitively laugh at how gullible I was.

I love the way these powerful, supernatural beings absolutely require you to open the window for them. What that little vampire could achieve for himself with a screwdriver and some basic house-breaking skills.

NothingMan · 15-05-2013 12:47PM

The Outer Limits always creeped me out when I was a kid. haven't watched it since but I doubt it would have the same effect now.

Without getting into too much of a debate on what are of course fictitious legends, but the whole thing with Vampires is they cannot come into your home without being invited in. So the legends were kids 'crying at your window' etc.

Then we'll say that extreme good manners and formality was their downfall. :P

Grotbags from The Pink Windmill :P

Looking now, I honestly have no idea why, but I found her terrifying!

The original 1933 version of King Kong scared the bejazuz out of me as a kid and I still get the heebe jeebies when it's on.
It's the mixed feelings of be scared of him and yet being sad when he dies that I couldn't resolve and that made me think way too much about the film so that I built up a lasting impression of it that still weirds me out.
The new versions of the film I can ignore with ease but if I'm alone in the house and the original version comes on I have to change channel.

You really are old :eek:

I can't really remember any movie/tv shows or other media that terrified me as a kid, but I distinctly remember my auntie laughing her head off at me the first time I was brought to see fireworks. I was bawling

Ahh not really. The film would have been on the tellybox when I was a wee nipper in the 60's.

Being an 8 year old girl at the time...eh, no. If I'd had any lesbian tendencies she'd have scared them away. :pac:

Isn't that when man went to the moon or something crazy like that
Few years before dinosaurs went extinct?

Some of my siblings watched this on TV one evening. Afterwards my parents found them in the attic fashioning stakes

copeyhagen · 15-05-2013 02:56PM

thriller music video. used to dart behind the couch as a kid when it came on.

demakinz · 15-05-2013 03:34PM

I used to be terrified by Kamala from the WWF and E.T. I also remember sloth from the Goonies freaking me out.

trieditonce · 15-05-2013 04:12PM

Anyone remember Sapphire and Steel??

the faceless man :eek: and the music!!!!

Irish Guitarist · 15-05-2013 04:20PM

There was an ad for Tunes which had an animated frog using someones tonsils as a punching bag. The owner of the tonsils swallowed a Tune which killed the frog in his throat. It didn't frighten me but it made me cry. Yes, the frog was punching someones tonsils but he was stuck in their throat and had to pass the time somehow. I don't think he deserved to be killed for it.

Pug160 · 15-05-2013 05:05PM

The Child's Play films. They scared me senseless as a kid but I find them absolutely hilarious now.

o1s1n · 15-05-2013 05:15PM

Worzel Gummidge always freaked me out.

Or whenever Hulk 'Hulked out' in the tv show I'd run behind the couch

The ending to The Time Bandits really unsettled me due to the opened ended weirdness of it. I think all films I'd seen up to that point had a definitive ending.

wp_rathead · 15-05-2013 05:17PM

The "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" episode with the bald vampire- remember having to sleep with light on for weeks after that episode..

My mother used to have to bribe me with fish fingers to come out from behind the curtains when the Incredible Hulk was on.

That spider thing in Gremlins.....*shivers*
