I laughed out loud at that.

The theme tune to eastenders 
I’ve just remembered about a school programme about bog lands.....it featured a really well preserved corpse that was found in the bog land (surprisingly enough
)
It was so strange and creepy looking & I used to freak out thinking it was under the bed or lying in the bed beside me

I don't know why I was scared of it 
Hell yes. Wake up early to hear “beeeeeep beep beep beep beep beeeeeep...” and have that in your face.
I also got scared when programmes were interrupted with some voiceover saying they were experiencing technical difficulties and will try to resume the programme as soon as possible.
My mum was very glamorous in the 60s and 70s and had a lot of wigs and hairpieces.
I was terrified of the wigs aged about 2 or 3 and would run off shouting 'wiggy' if I saw one not being worn, apparently however from when I remember it (about age 4/5) it was the polystyrene heads they sat on I was scared of, not the wigs themselves. Something about blank faces.
I was also v scared of Humphreys (no one under 45 will get this, it was a stripy straw that stole your milk. The 70s were weird times).
My son was pretty fearless but was scared silly by a Dr Who episode - the Empty Child (one where the boy with the gasmask on says 'are you my mummy' a lot). He still can't watch it now. To be fair, it is quite scary...

The film "The Secret of NiMH" because of that horrible owl thing covered in cob webs.
The film "all dogs go to heaven" - I think the part where he goes to hell.
That Disney film fantasia with the demon on the mountain.
I think I had a lot of issues with the concept of going to hell
Bigfoot - I saw a documentary on channel 5 about it and used to have nightmares about the footage of bigfoot walking through the trees and looking at the camera.
I distinctly recall praying at night and asking God to not let Bigfoot get me

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
And London’s Burning! There was an episode where a boy kicked a football into a substation and his sister went to get it. I seem to vaguely remember seeing the “body” and smoke. Terrifying.
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 face

to be fair the girl human character in the moomins also freaked me out ..i think its because they have no mouth!
i looked it up ..its called lady of the cold !
My Mum hahah
i was quite the opposite..i loved this !
Oh I forgot, the Groke from the Moomins and those weird Hattifattaners!!
I was quite a fearless child in fact I think im more scared of things now as an adult but the film The Witches honestly scared the crap out of me as a child. The part where they take their faces off especially the grand high witch was just too much for young me even now im not keen on the film
Oh god, I was terrified of the Ladybird classic version of Rumplestiltskin. Used to creep me the eff out!The theme tune to Panorama
