The scary high temperature squeaky voiced bastard!
What put the willies up you (ooh-err!)?
There was an episode of Blakes 7 that had a baddie (Man or robot, can't remember) that lost it's head and was wandering about headless. That scared the crap out of me for quite some time! 😳

Des O'Conner
Cybermen scared the life out of me with their blank, soul-less expressions.

There were two TV dramas that scared me shitless as a kid. One was about an alien that crashed on a scottish island, the other included a nun whose face was always covered by a black cloth. Didn't help I was at a catholic primary school mostly staffed by penguins at the time.
Many sleepless nights after watching those!
I walked in on my parents watching An American werewolf in London with the scene where he's dreaming his family gets massacred, That haunted me for a very long time.
Another notable mention must go to the original series of V .

Look and Read - The Boy from Space. Freaky little b.....
The xenomorph. After I watched Alien I decided it was safer to sleep with the bedroom door well and truly shut.

That'll be Armchair Thriller..
Enjoy!
missingfrontallobe - I remember that one, but wan't it a half human/animal from a Russian submarine? They used a red screen to show what he was seeing.
I was terrified by the elderly Quaker couple that lived up the road.
I refused to leave the house if they were out in the street.

Wow! Armchair Thriller... I used to sing the theme tune through the bedroom wall to scare my little brother!
Aye classic TV, the first one was the best..
The library ghost from Ghostbusters:

Watched it again a while back - bit disappointed by her actually just being a Muppet, and not the proper scary monster I remember from being a 9 year old. Good film though, still very funny.
How come no one has said the Moomins yet? Not the newer cartoon version but the older stop motion style one.

Hammer house of horror, tame nowadays though at the time it scared me sh**less
weren't scared o nowt me.
onzadog - agree on the old Moomins, even seeing old style Moomin images/characters still freaks me out!

V
The TV in Willow the wisp
Spotty in Super Ted
Dale Hinds, he was from the rough end of town and used to nick my lunch.
The Moomins rawked!! Brilliant, and the books were amazing.
And with added Bjørk for to makes more scary:
This theme music used to spook me..
Dr Who - would only watch it from behind the sofa & with my grandfather in the room.
Large Black Dogs
The Boy From Space and Grotbags.
+1 for the child catcher( ran out of the cinema blubbing 😳 )
+1 for the Cybermen
Also there was a thing on Dr Who with showroom dummies that had hinged hands that dropped down to reveal guns. Not sure why but that terrified me too.

Freddie used to play havoc with my sleeping patterns too. 😯
These freaked me...

This too. Made me think all statues would come to life and try and kill me.
Dr Who the Autons -
[url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spearhead_from_Space ]Mannequins[/url] I didn't want to go high street shopping for ages, worried that I'd be attacked outside M&S.
That and the spiders in our garage, monstrous they were, with big thick nasty pointy fangs 😀
After watching [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Changes_(TV_series) ]The Changes[/url] I had a fear of these too.

ARGH!
the gremlins.... walked past a room where some older kids were watching it and walked past during one of the scenes where tis all going a bit mental, things are getting wrecked, things are melting etc.
if i had watched the whole film (like i did when i growed up like) then i think i would've been fine.
Okay, not as a kid, I was in my 30s but on the Dr Who theme, the dead kid in WWII with the gasmask for a face.
"Are you my mummy?"
That was freaky.
Terrified me...

I couldn't work out why a horse lived in the house
Harry_the_Spider's pylon just reminded me that when I was really small, about 3 or 4, I had a phase of being flippin' terrified of the transmitter mast on [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windy_Hill_(Pennines) ]Windy Hill[/url], the one you see when you go over the M62 summit. Lord alone knows why, but I used to hide from it under my coat until we got right down into Rochdale. Weird...
I have very fond memories of that very same mast with a young lady called Sarah in a Rover Metro...
8)
I still have a smile to myself now every time I pass by.
Cookie Monster.
My uncle Trevor (biker with a big ginger beard and tea cosy hat)
Sapphire and Steel.
The Excorcist and Daleks both scared the crap out of me, oh and my mates Nan who had a hairy wart on her face!
When I was very small, someone bought me a Dougal (from the Magic Roundabout) bubble bath. It scared the crap out of me, looking back I have no idea why.
The opening credits to Tom Baker era Dr Who used to freak me out; flying through the 'time tunnel' that looked like the inside of a silver trombone. I think it used to make me feel trapped, like there was no way out of it.
There was a scifi drama show circa late 70's - early 80's maybe, some sort of 'aliens living amongst us' thing. I've no idea what it was. The basic premise was that they could kill us and assume our form, but you never saw the killing, just a freaky green light throbbing under the door as someone was replaced (or perhaps when they were reverting to their true form as well?). I think they used 'green grow = aliens' elsewhere too. Proper disturbed me, every time I'd see light through the crack under my bedroom door I'd pap myself. Does this ring any bells with anyone? was there a series of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, or was it Tripods maybe? I was very young so memory is hazy.
Those who said The Boy From Space - who was scary, the Thin Man or Peep-Peep?
Oof yeah, +1 for Sapphire and Steel. Again, I only vaguely remember it now, but I recall being terrified at the time. Freaky stuff. Something about ring-a-ring-a-roses?
triffids... and the donkey that lived in the field behind our house

The way he changed used to freak me out, although I really wanted to be able to change into different animals
The entry in between my mates house and mine. It was so dark that I used to leg it the 20 yards from mine to his and vice versa.
Now I go and play in the dark on me bike.
As for TV a Nationwide programme where a woman finds stones in her garden and strange things happen in her house inc a hairy man like creature.
They stopped when she re buried them.

Look and Read - The Boy from Space. Freaky little b.....
Boy from Space merely worried me. It was the first appearance of the Tall Knight from Look and Read 'Dark Towers' that scared ths sh1t out of me.
See from 6m10
Mostly the Darleks, we lived in a big house with a long narrow landing, I went thru a bed wetting stage because I didn't dare flush the toilet (obviously an alarm for the Darleks behind the scarey door at the dark end of the landing). I couldn't see any chance of me flushing and being able to get from the toilet to my bedroom, so wetting the bed was preferable.
Also this lady

Clowns, terrified me then still don't like them now. Not really sure why.
The moomintroll.
i didn't like the flying monkeys in the wizard of OZ when I was a kid we could only afford a black and white TV but my gran lent me a colour TV when I was 10 and the first night i watched John Carpenters The Thing

The sound of piston engined aircraft flying over at night. I thought they were Russian aircraft.

Cows! My big sister told me they would bite me!!
The Day of The Triiffids and Tales of the Unexpected both freaked me out.
Jonathan King kinda has a woman's mouth eh?
The episode of Dr Who where the standing stones walked about really scared me. I was about 6 or 7 I suppose.
Hairdressers . . . oh . . . 😐
