FabSwingers.com forum: Films and TV that scared you as a kid...

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

I was watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang the other day - no judging, it's still one of my favourite films! - and I remembered that the Child Catcher never scared me (though, one shot of where he peers into the basement window and stared straight into the camera gives me a shiver now) but the part where Truly & Mr Potts had to dress up as dolls to rescue the kids did scare me!

So what scared you?

The film about Hans Christian Anderson starring Danny Kaye.

All of his characters came to life and appeared to him on his death bed. Scared the beejazus out of me. I was only little! Probably my first trip to the cinema.

The Incredible Hulk tv series - used to scare the crap out of me when he started to change into the Hulk. I give side eyes to men wearing ripped jeans to this day.

The Day of the Triffids (the old to version). Just nasty. I blame that programme for me hating gardening.

Some episodes of the twilight zone haunted me for years after. One in particular was where a prison doctor would help prisoners escape by concealing them in the coffin of dead prisoners, they would get buried and the doctor would dig them up again after dark, this one guy paid for the service, was buried but waited too long, he struck a match and looked at the body who's coffin he was sharing and it was the doctor, gives me the creeps even now.

The BBC did a long since forgotten series of The Invisible Man back in the early 80's. I'd have been about six years old at the time. I can't remember a whole lot about it now, other than it gave me nightmares and still gives me a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach to this day when I think about it. Creepy

"Deliverance.

Deliverance still scares the crap outta me now!!!

Not exactly the best advert for white water rafting in America!!

Wouldn't suggest it child friendly though....

Just that one line..

Boy, you got a purdy face... Now squeal like a pig boy.

Just bloody chilling

Duel rings a bell. One scene the man is in a phone box and just jumps out the way in time before the lorry plows through it.

I was in single figures watching it.

For me it was Dr Who, even to this day just hearing the music brings me out in goose bumps x

When I was very young the ones I remember that used to scare me was the Child catcher in chitty chitty and the bit in Charley and the chocolate factory on the boat.

There's no earthly way of knowing

Which direction we are going

There's no knowing where we're rowing

Or which way the river's flowing

Is it raining, is it snowing

Is a hurricane a–blowing

Not a speck of light is showing

So the danger must be growing

Are the fires of Hell a–glowing

Is the grisly reaper mowing

Yes, the danger must be growing

For the rowers keep on rowing

And they're certainly not showing

Any signs that they are slowing.

"Also the music video to thriller used to terrify me. Which is strange considering TWD is one of my favourite shows lol"
glad I am not alone in this world..

When Michael Jackson changes... It was the whiskers growing from his face.. Still dislike facial hair to this day.

Fortunately bearded ladies are not as popular as they used to be.

I honestly can't remember if I was scared of certain programs when i was younger,but what I do know is certain type of horror films,heck I love nightmare on Elm Street and i think I must have been 12 watching the first one and it may have been scary but even watching jonney depp being sucked inside a bed then blood covering the whole bedroom never put me off scary films...but now possibly in the last 10 yrs I cannot watch really gory horror films I sort of turn head a lot, and just can't stand films such as Saw franchise and final destination types...
