[Closed] Kids' programs that scared you

The test card.

For some reason as a kid I didn't perceive the green body of the clown as being what it was - I saw it a featureless slenderman-esque disembodied head looking away from the screen and staring malevolently at the girl.

Me too. Right up until about 30 seconds ago.

Good god, me too! I always thought it was some weird shiny green bean entity or some kind of blob.

Not a program, but Cocoon (the film) scarred the shit out of me when I was a kid. Guessing I was about five or six when I saw a bit of it (went downstairs when a babysitter was watching it).

It was only a PG (I think) but I was petrified!

Bagpuss. "saggy, old cloth cat" i think NOT! More like "Manipulative, chain gang running, mob cat that, with an evil side kick / taskmaster "professor" Yaffle, forced her mice workers to work long hours, mending a continuous stream of broken items that were then sold by Bagpuss for monetary gain" cat.......

This truly terrified me as a kid.

The Hulk, from well, the Incredible Hulk obviously. And the Moomins. Any time I see something akin to creepy German folklore enacted by wooden puppets or stop motion I'm reminded of the dark menace and foreboding that the Moomins captured so well.

Me too.

Good god, me too!

I actually feel like I achieved something of worth here today. High 5 me.

Test card survivor support group?

Same time next week - bring doughnuts

Not a kids show but this was tres creepy at the time....

Public information films! There is, apparently, nothing like this in Poland- me and a colleague spent half an hour at work watching terrifying public information films, culminating of course in

"This explains why all you british people are so broken inside"

Still scares the shit out of me now:

This also scared me, but I guess that was the point:

why did you post Zelda dannyh.
I'm going to have nightmares now.

Sapphire and Steel, still makes my hackles rise. Worst thing was that entity that fed off resentment (I'm getting bloody goosebumps typing this), you never actually saw it, it was just a darkening corner in the room. The other one was the time travellers and enraged animal souls they brought back.

Bloody Moomins, the Groke really creeped me out (bearing in mind I watched whilst baby sitting my youngest brother......

Not exactly aimed at 9 year olds , but Rohl Dahls 'Tales of the Unexpected' contained the stuff of nightmares. It cant have been on that late as I can clearly remember the kaleidescope titles and a women with half of her fingers missing.

That Cyberman reminds me of

To be honest, all of those scared me. Zelda, Dr Who, the Tripods, Noseybonk, everything. I still don't watch much TV. But I seem to remember loving the Box of Delights.

Please, don't have nightmares. Do sleep well.

That horse in rentaghost was also the creation of some evil mastermind.
