Words and Pictures?


Ooh! and another - what was the one with the rotating crystalline music-box thing in the opening credits?

Picture-Box or something?

brrr

Yes, that's it!



Picture Box – with Alan Rothwell, later Heather's lover in Brookside – was definitely spooky...

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

The opening to the invisible man tv series where he got in the machine and the two bit moved together.

 

[Nicsi]

There was one character in Sooty who scared me. He was Sweep's cousin or something I think. He was all evil and laughing...

 

[Skim]

You don't have to be a kid to get freaked out by Ron Mael...

 

[Nicsi]

That twiggy creature in Rupert the Bear. Can't remember it's name, but it scared the shit out of me when I was a nipper. Ruined the whole programme for me if that came on.

Billy Blizzard?

Used to scare the shit out of me when I was a kid reading the books at my gran's. I used to make her lock the books in the downstairs toilet at night!

Yeah, me too. It was called Raggity I think

Also,

A film called Twisted Nerve when i was really young
Most of the Hammer horror plays on Saturday nights esp the Diana Doors/werewolf episode
A programme called The Changes

 

[zoooo]

The noise the tardis makes.

MUCH scarier than the daleks.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

The theme tune to bloody Mastermind.
Scary enough to scare me upstairs to bed.

 

[Derian]

I've just remembered another ... The Tomorrow People

The Hearts of Sogguth when Jake (iirc) gets strapped into a machine that fast forwards the aging process till all that remains is a crumbling skeleton - I had nightmares for weeks But I was an utter wuss

 

[mrsfran]

The jester bloke out of Rentaghost. Terrified of him, I was. He always looked like he was going to grab you.

 

[mrsfran]

And that face that came apart when they were running out of time in Knightmare.

[Mrs Bradley]

There was a kids tv show called Mumphy - it had a witch in it which scared the living crap out of me - weird puppets thing going on.....

 

[Nlogax]

I've just remembered another ... The Tomorrow People

Most unnerving thing about The Tomorrow People was the title sequence. A glut of weird hand signals, foetuses, 'all seeing eyes' and spooky synths. Gave me the willies.

Pussy.

That was the coolest bit.

 

[Dubversion]

the 70s was chock full of really bleak dramas i'd persuade my folks to let me watch.

Rabies was pretty scary, and there were lots of dystopian / post-apocalyptic ones like the one with Jeremy irons.

and Gangsters, too

 

[Nlogax]

That was the coolest bit.

Oh, I don't disagree...

 

[foamy]

that horrible programme with magician paul daniels in it and giant carrots? orange triangles? that had a song that went "ha ha this-a-way ha ha that-a-way ha ha this-a-way my oh my"

just typing that made me feel queesy

 

[sojourner]

Raggety?
