    Aonghus McNally off irish kids tv used to freak me out so bad I'd turn off the tv!

    Funny story, I was at The Darkness gig in Vicar St a few years ago and found myself dancing hectically with Aonghus . . . . AWKWARD

    OT The opening credits for Tales of the unexpected :eek:, Aunt Sally and the winking weatherman Gerry something!

    I *accidently* watched It on video as a kid, didn't think much of clowns before that..Think seeing Dumbo as a 4 or 5 year old put me off, still haven't watched IT since.
    One of my brothers was terrified every time David Banner turned into the hulk, was the eyes that did it...he was also terrified of the Ribena berries from the add, had a nightmare about them:confused:

    I mean what kind of sick F*** decides that a scarecrow who comes to life has to rip his own head off and replace it with another to have different modes.

    I can't see scarecrows with out being freaked out.

    Worzel Gummidge was one seriously f*cked up bass-tard.

    Him & 40 Coats. Old, weird & f*cked up weirdos.

    The invisible man
    Me too! I don't remember if it was because I thought he was actually vanishing (i.e. from existence) or because I thought he was turning invisible and could never become visible again... There was a freaky machine which did it too...
