The x files episode with tooms terrified me. Was convinced he was going to climb out of the vents in my sisters house while I was babysitting my nieces. Was about 13 at the time
I used to hate the music from Tales of the Unexpected too. It was so creepy
Ghosts. I loved books like the Point Horror series and Bunty comic which had random stories like people who went through time slips, had a mate who turned out to be a ghost etc. I’d be thinking about them of a night lying awake and panic if I heard a noise 
Gosh yes! The yellow eyes! I was working my way through X Files and had to take a break for about a year after that one, and that was fairly recently. Very creepy and definitely not one I'd cope with as a child.
They used to scare me as well! Mainly the Snufkin and Little My characters as I just found something so creepy about their designs.omg!! I was terrified of the moomins too! I thought I was the only one!
GHOSTWATCH
I was too young to know about Phantasmagoria but I watched some top ten scary Sierra games countdown on YouTube, it’s featured Phantasmagoria. I’d say that’s the scariest looking game I’ve ever seen.
Never a truer word said still have mine
My dad loved horror films...... things that stick out
Daleks voice.... still makes me shudder
Freddie Kruger
The Nanny old film with Bette Davis in just tried to watch trailer again nah cannot do it

When Doom melted in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Absolutely terrifying as a kid.
I’m still traumatised over the public service announcements that we were shown as very young kids at school. Particularly the train safety ones.
Death. I remember having an absolute massive panic attack when I was very young when I realised that one day I could lose everyone I love.

Definitely Ghostwatch! I was about 16 and some friends and I watched together and we were all petrified! Very controversial at the time too as a young lad killed himself after watching it
The BBC Halloween spoof that led to a teenage suicide
Programme aired in 1992 was penned by a horror writer and originally meant as a six-part series
I was about 10 and went to the shops with my Aunty and saw a missing poster for a young girl who later turned out to be murdered. I was then terrified I was going to be abducted or murdered! I don’t think it helped that my dad loved watching the news and Crimewatch etc.
I’m sure a similar film to the one with the frisbee and the pylon was shown in schools in the 80’s? But involved some trainers and railway lines, Cheggers was in it I think? Horrendous! The police would come round and do a safety talk and petrify all the kids at the same time.

I hated the British transport police public info film where the kids were playing on the train tracks and the boy gets his legs taken off - our school was v close to the railway station so every year we’d get that and I swear it was worse every year! I follow ‘scarred for life’ on twitter which is all about these old films etc.
I was also frightened of sirens and would get v anxious hearing them, I’d be convinced they belonged to a fire engine and our house was on fire.
As an adult I still can’t look properly at pics of Regan from the exorcist - horrible!!

OMG someone else who remembers that game! The gatekeeper
Xmas 1992/3 memories.My memories of that are him saying ‘bring me the old one’ and the oldest person playing had to come close to the TV screen and the gatekeeper’s face would decompose or somethingJust hearing the theme tune to Ghost Hunters on cbbc would petrify me, especially if it was a winters evening and it was dark by 5pm (when it would come on)
I’m sure their was a public service advert about children playing on train tracks as well, any sight of a train track would scare me, didn’t really help that my house backed on to one.

Zelda? She terrified me too.
Tripods. Completely freaky program about aliens that used to put some kind of implant in the back of humans' necks.
Utterly terrifying, i used to cry when he came on.
Yes!!! I honestly thought I was the only kid that was scared of this game!! My family would play it when they all get together and I'd be hiding away in another room, but could still here the bloody game!OMG someone else who remembers that game! The gatekeeper
