Did anyone have any TV programmes that terrified them?

I was (and still am) scared stiff of Bagpuss, even typing it makes me shiver.

Noseybonk from Tony Hart's Take Heart. That thing was pure evil.

The Triffids, but then again I was only about 10-11 when that was on.......

Well Strange But True did (see topic programmes that freaked you out). As for triffids never saw it, but just finished reading book Day of the Triffids.

Terrahawks always got me quaking in me kiddie-wellies!

The moomins... they were so creepy!
and The X files.... so scary with all them aliens

I loved the moomins!!

The X-Files used to scare me too, I used to have turn all the lights on and read or watch someting happy before I went to bed.

I'm glad it's not just me terrified of him. There's a similar discussion to this around here somewhere, where I picked Noseybonk.

A lot of things terrified me when I was a kid, but none more than him. He was on 'Jigsaw'. I was convinced that when you turned the telly off at night and that white dot appeared in the middle of the screen, he'd come rushing out of it (a la the Japanese film 'Ringu'). Cue many sleepless nights.

If you google his name you can get a clip of him pottering around in his greenhouse (If you reeally want to).

I thought "why not?", assuming it'd have no effect on me. How wrong I was. Even the music nearly made me cry.

OMG I just watched him on yourtube

Quite right it was Jigsaw, but I do recall something of equal sinister status on Take Hart (not morph).

I going to have to google bagpuss now, I just can't help myself.

Muffin the mule shared the living heck out of me. Can't recall why, it was a long time ago.

Michael Bentine potty time was the one that gave me the creeps. little things that scurried about. not good!

I can't think of any TV progs, but a few music vids:
The Prodigy - Firestarter
Shakespeare's Sister - Stay With Me (scared me crapless!)

Good old Doctor Who....

The episodes with the spiders.....Anyone remember them? My mother had to drag me out from behind the sofa 30 mins after the programme ended!

They terrified me too.

I had nightmares about them for years.

Dr Who.......The Darlecks. Would hide behind my dad.



Does anyone remember Beauty and the Beast......approx 1963? was scared to death of the beast.

The phantom raspberry blower used to scare me, i really don't have a clue why! I just remember hating it.

THe X files scared me a lot. Especially the theme music. I remember trying to get to sleep when i was younger whilst I could hear the theme music coming in from the living room. That would keep me up for hours, thinking there was an alien outside my room.



And also, it was more recent, and at age 12 i should of been scared but, the show TAKEN freaked me out. The episode where there is the Jacob brotheres or something, half alien half human, and if you look into their eyes you can see your death...and they were in a burning house at the time, so only saw what was in front of him. Shit that had me scared for like a year.

sunday afternoons many many years ago catweasel god he scared the hell outta me

The demon Headmaster he was so scary
