When I was really, really young I was terrified of the Joker to the point my mum put stickers over his face.

My sister use to do the sisterly thing and would remove these stickers and terrify me at every opportunity!

Scream

I remember watching it with my auntie when I was younger. It was around Halloween time and all the trick or treaters had those scream masks that you could pump the blood into which made it even worse. I was a nervous wreck every time the door went

God yes, forgot about Twiggy in Rupert Bear, was really creepy!

Movie, the perennial childcatcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Not orginal i admit, but must be responsible for thousands of traumatised children

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Willy Wonker gave me the heebie jeebies. To be fair all Roald Dahl books bothered me as a child and still do now.

I can't recall any. Maybe I was always bit morbid. Read horrors at 12/13 years old with passion

Now I'm a grown up I don't even watch any!

An episode of Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected had a character petrified in his bed by a venomous snake. After his friends free him without finding the creature, the main character goes about his routine. He lifts up to a shelf only to have the snake wrap itself around his wrist and then fling itself at his throat. That final scene gave me one helluva fright, I bet that I could watch that episode again and it would still make me jump.

Dolls.

I had to remove all the dolls from my room, my mother thought it a great idea to stand them all up in the bathroom, safe to say when I went for a piss I screamed 7 pot dolls staring at me.

Back when I was still to young to understand the difference between films and real life, we watched Forrest Gump as a family.

I was distraught when Bubba died and my parents had a terrible job trying to rationalise the fact that it wasn't real in my poor wee fragile mind haha

Great film though!

Oh yes to Salem’s Lot! I watched the two part adaptation when I was eight (unbeknown to my parents!) and remember vividly, being utterly terrified.

The scenes featuring the child vampires floating in thick mist outside windows and scratching on the glass, the jail scene wherein Barlow makes his first (and very sudden!) appearance and the general feeling of encroaching dread that engulfs the town itself as the vampiric plague spreads all left me highly traumatised.

….and yet I couldn’t stop watching!
