    This afternoon instead of studying for my business policy final which I have tomorrow, I was goofing around on the computer and came across this site:



    I think it is very interesting that a Sesame Street segment made this guy's #1 (it did after an update). I remember so many weird things on Sesame Street that may not have scared me but I found them weird to say the least. Probably the best case of this was a segment on the letter H that looked like a film negative and had all these weird lights flashing and Maria's voice talking over it. Maybe this was an attempt at being psychedelic but to a 4 year old kid, it gave me the chills, LOL. I actually vaguely remember the sketch this guy mentions for the Sesame Street one - but letter H was still weirder, dammit!

    Anyway, have fun with reliving some childhood nightmares (that Return to Oz one especially - what the hell was Disney thinking when they said that was a children's movie?).

    there was a movie called Magic with a creepy puppet. i only saw the ads as a kid...but it freaked me out.

    i'm noticing freaky ass horror movie ads on during the day...like during the Rockets/Mavs game on Saturday...when my 5 year old is watching with me. i'm thinking he can do without the House of Wax visuals!! :) "PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!!" yeah...thanks. jackasses.

    There was this movie that they showed after cartoons one Saturday when I was a kid, titled something like Red Room. About a house where a kid is burned to death or something similar, I just remember being spooked out for weeks.

    Oh, in my room I had one of those wind-up monkeys with the banging symbols, I was convinced he was going to come after me. Just a demonic looking toy.

    The Dr Who theme did kinda freak me out as a kid.

    The wicked witch though was pure evil.:eek: :(

    Most of the rest, I was older.

    I remember that - I thought that was pretty cool.

    Things that terrified me as a kid:

    1) Gremlins - The idea of small malevolent creatures that could use the AC vents to travel through the house scared me crapless. Especially since I had an AC vent right above my head.

    2) Piranha - This movie seems pretty funny now (John Sayles wrote it so it's full of subtle jokes), but I did not like swimming in muddy water for years after seeing this (ironically, it was filmed at Aquarena Springs, where the water couldn't be any clearer).

    I know alot of kids (my sister included) absolutely hated clowns after the scene in Poltergeist. It didn't bother me very much, probably because I was too fascinated by the scene where the dude pulls his face off.

    I can't remember being scared of anything, but my mom said that I was terrified of Darth Vader when I was three...of course, what three year old WOULDN'T be scared of Darth Vader.

    She also said I was pretty freaked out about Jack of Jack in the Box getting blown up...

    BS - You're in denial.

    The first step in recovering is to admit that you are a p***y as well.

    I remember a few things that scared me as a child.

    The "Thriller" video was one of them, I remember I would always leave the room whenever it came on.

    Bozo, not clowns just Bozo. I remember my family members would always get me to do stuff by saying "if you don't I am going to tell Bozo on you."

    Storms, seeing the destruction of tornadoes and hurricanes on tv, whenever it thundered, rained, lighting I always got shook up.

    The movie "Clue" freaked me out too. Something about people getting killed in a big house and nobody knows who did it or who to trust just doesn't suit me well.

    Saturday the 14th was a funny movie. I wonder if it's on DVD. This was back in the Richard Benjamin days.
