I don't know this but googled it. The philosophical novel seems very interesting

The Howling...werewolf movie series in the 80's

Actually yes I just saw that scary painting I remember it

This?

That one scene from the Goofy movie.

It was a weird episode, it doesn't really have a fluid story... an Indian mystic, Badlaa, loses his sons in a chemical plant explosion and he starts killing people, starting with that guy. They never actually explain any connections to the people he's killing, you could assume they have to do with the chemical company.

Last scene from the original Fly with Vincent Price.

"Help me!"

I wouldn't look at the TV for days after.

trilogy of terror, with the killer voodoo doll..


the retro commercials are cool too.

Thanks for introducing me to that I wont sleep tonight now. It does seem very well made. Is the original fly as good or better than the 80s fly?

Barney Miller

Might sound stupid and all but some episodes of the cartoon, Scooby Doo, creeped me the hell out!

Charlie McCarthy. They say I would run out of the room. I guess it was because I thought he was alive.

When the Outer Limits was saying not to adjust your TV etc.

No joking but I took this photo of what I almost walked into last night. I walk on the roads from now on away from trees and shrubs especially at night it freaked me out so much. I was never really afraid of spiders till this.

Of all the things everyone listed I agree with I’m surprised no one mentioned the things that truly scared me as a kid in the Cold War; red dawn, day after and threads.

Scooby Doo

Land of the Lost

I live here and I've never understood horror programs. I've never watched them or allowed my children to see them. Why put fear into your life?

Watched this the night it came out in 1975. I was five.
Scared the living crap out of me. Muppets are supposed
to be nice!

Puppet Master movies must have gotten the idea from this

HR Puff n Stuff

Hah this was posted 20 minutes beforehand too. Must have had an affect on a lot of people

When the blonde girl sinks in the swamp and calls for mom!

Exactly. But TPTB succeeded with overwhelming majority of population addicted to own demise. Can you say self-fulfilling prophecies?

i was about five or six when Mother made us sit down and watch holocaust films at home.something was on tv and they showed horrifying pics of pits of dead people, the starving ones, the abuse...it was early seventies, btw.
idk why she made us watch them but i came away feeling terribly scarred inside.
i would NEVER do that to another human being.
it was so awful but i learned people are not nice.
people WILL kill you, no matter your age.
do not trust anyone.

I was born in 80,so as a kid... fucking FRAGGLES!!! I don't know why, but the fraggles... and watching a scene in "communion".. i dont think I have ever watched the whole movie.

There I was, age 5, sitting on the Flokati rug in front of the
b/w TV news, my favorite teddy bear in my arms. Totally
unprepared and defenseless.

Something inside went blank with instant shock.

Will never forget that moment.
"Was that real, Dad? Was that for real?"

Then there was the Biafra War.

But seeing a man staggering by in the background with his
lower jaw blown away, while the news reporter talked to the
camera didn't faze me anymore in quite the same way.
Blasé at the ripe old age of 6.

The Cold War and the daily threats of nuclear annihilation
quickly became a non-point in the decade thereafter; a thing
of normalcy.

Now I'm old and maybe a bit less naive. I understand, that
crisis is the only way a conspiratorial government can ever
thrive. Harmony brings their hidden agenda to a stop.

:(

Wizard of OZ flying monkeys

Thats the thing, a person cannot be naive to other peoples doings. We should know everything about our own species and what we are capable of whether good or bad.
