I laughed out loud at that.There were so many things that scared me as a child. I was a complete scaredy cat. Probably the weirdest one was sunflowers. I remember running past a house on the corner of our road literally screaming because I thought the sunflowers were going to get me.
Hell yes. Wake up early to hear “beeeeeep beep beep beep beep beeeeeep...” and have that in your face.
There was a 999 where a girl got her hair stuck in a swimming pool filter/pump in a leisure centre, I remember the life guard saying “I was taking 2 breaths one for me and one for her”. Haven’t let my kids swim with their hair down ever!Crime Watch! After watching people get burgled, raped, strangled, car jacked, kidnapped they chime in with - don't have nightmaresthe ones in the 90s were the worst I swear!
Also the program 999 rescue (I think it was called) with Michael Burke used to scare me to death.
The animated cartoon Animal Farm
Brothers Grimm fairy stories! I must dig them out for my youngest ready to frighten him to death too
The storyline in prisoner cell block H where they got trapped underground gave me sweaty palms and nightmares. I shouldn't have been watching it at that time of night but my nana used to let me
Haha we did too and I had to tell my husband to switch it off as it was scaring me. I am the wuss of the house though, we watched IT with the older two and my girls were in hysterics of how much I hid my faceI watched it online again a year or two ago and even though I now know it was a fake it still petrified me and I slept with the lights on for a week!
same here..i also hate clowns.I've always had a crazy phobia of ventriloquist dummies, porcelain dolls and the like. I used to be terrified of the dress maker's dummy my mum had in her bedroom.
Even now I look away/shut my eyes if a ventriloquist dummy comes on TV or something.
I'm such a weirdo.
omg how wierd i was only telling my kids the other day about an episode of the moomins that terrified me as a kid..where theyre looking out the window and some being gradually came closer and closer ..it was really sinister!The theme tune to Panorama

i was quite the opposite..i loved this !The TV show Strange But True (in the U.K.) not sure if anyone remembers it but it was mid 90s and on a Friday night about ghost stories. I wasn’t allowed to watch it by my mum but my dad used to let me, I still remember some of the stories now.
Oh god, I was terrified of the Ladybird classic version of Rumplestiltskin. Used to creep me the eff out!The theme tune to Panorama
