What tv programmes and characters scared you/left a scar on your psyche as a child.

Four come to mind for me.

"Davros" the daleks leader.Erm "mr noseybonk" who was a creepy guy with a huge nose in a kids educational programme jigsaw.

"Mr Johnny" from the original "Carrie's war" and the series "Hammer house of horror" which was simply sublime viewed from behind a cushion.

Yes there were some creepy episodes and the theme tune set the mood nicely.

Would agree re Salem's lot also.

Remember the dead boy tapping at the window and James Mason emerging from the coffin.

Just thought of something else, but it's in a film, not TV so hope it counts..

The Child Catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Actually hid behind my Mum in the cinema when he came on screen.

Maybe if I knew he was being played by a rampantly gay ballet dancer (had I known what 'rampantly gay' meant when I was six!!) maybe - just maybe - I wouldn't have been so frightened...... or maybe I would !!! Lol!

Nothing scares me on tv and never has as I always knew all the disgusting things were fake. That's why I am not squeamish at all. Women are always scary. Think about it. A bloke is in a conflict with a bloke. Things get heated bloke hits bloke and fight breaks out or one bloke runs off. Bloke argues with a woman. Woman hits bloke, bloke can't respond and women have more energy than men so there's no point in trying to out run them as that will make them even more angry. Plus when I meet a lady for the first time I am always wondering afterwards. If I should leave it 2 days or 3 days before I send the apology note

Not a tv program but those safety adverts where kids were playing football near pylons and one got electrocuted.

And the Jaws films made me scared of swimming pools.

Doing a rough count up on my fingers and toes (with socks off) I'd say oldskool Dr Who with the daleks,Hammer house of horror and Salem's lot are the top three re peoples recollections thus far.

Mr Claypole from sodding Rentaghost used to freak me out. In fact, everyone on that programme did, but him more than any of them!

And the obvious daleks and cybermen too. I had terrible nightmares after watching Close Encounters of the Third Kind too.

Funnily enough, I actually went to the Devil's Tower in Wyoming, where that was set, a few years ago. Was still pretty freaked, but it was a cathartic experience!

The titles to jackanory. The tone of the blokes voice repeating the word over and over was like a calling from the tv to come closer.

And at 45 I admit those bloody angels on the recent doctor who caused me to spill hot coffee on my crotch. It's probably the cheapest effects they have but the editing and music all add to the mix.

And that has reminded me about the Jon Pertwee episodes with the spiders.

And finally I seem to remember a kids programme about a lad called sky whose eyes would glow a wierd colour. That's just not right.

Wish I hadn't seen this thread now I'm going to have to go back into therapy!

"Dr who. I had smash hits on tape and it had the theme tune on it. I used to hid behind the sofa when it was on lol"

I was just about to write the same, but it was the original 60's theme for some reason that really scared the shit out of me, I always had to make sure I was downstairs when it started otherwise I would freeze in fear that the Daleks were there too, which brings me onto my second fear as a child ' the Daleks' always put the fear of god into me.

Hiding behind the couch I would tell my mother I was looking for something until the music finished then I would come out.

Can only remember two things scaring theiving daylights out of me as a child. The Sea Devils on Dr. Who, though I'm not why them in particular. The other was an episode of The New Avengers that had a child's Victorian doll that went around killing people. Freaky!

"Hammer House of Horror Films !!"

Hammer house of horror appears to be second only to Doctor Who and his daleks regarding what scared Fab users in their childhood judging by my thread results thus far.

Actually I tell a lie. When I see a family video from years back and I think "oh shit that was the time I ......, hope they haven't got that on film". That's when I get scared. So stuff on "tv" can scare me

The original survivors was scary as it brought home to a child that life was fragile and that our precious planet could have it's lifeform wiped away.
