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

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.
