Ponky Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Thinking of when I was just a kid between the ages of around 3-10 I can think of a few things that really scared the shit out of me. Things on TV, images from books and just general concepts. Here's a few of mine: I couldn't watch Dr Who after seeing this image. Fair enough I was only about 5 at the time but it was enough to keep me away from the telly whenever my brother was watching it. I used to watch the Muppet Show religiously but when they introduced this guy it was enough to give me nightmares for weeks. When I was about 4 I had recurring nightmares about being eaten alive by wolves. We don't even have wolves in Australia. I blame this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brommy Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Great thread (genuine). Before I turn-in for the night, the first things that spring to mind are the film 'The blob', Doctor Who (when I was very young) and some of the 'House of horror' films. I may return for more...

leemond2008 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 My parents never saw any harm in letting me watch horror films when I was really young and for the main part they never scared me. Except for the old an in poltergeist 2 I still get the odd random nightmare about him now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 The skinned bodies from Predator freaked me out when I was a kid. Ironically, it is one of my favorite movies now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Watched the first one when I was about 9. Tame by today's standards but shit me up at the time. I had bad dreams about Freddie even before I saw the films!!!! When I eventually watched them, at around 12-13 I found them quite ridiculous and never had a bad dream about it since!!! Another that freaked me out was Zelda from Terrahawks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelle Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Marty Feldman. His eyes scared the crap out of me. Don't know why. And I remember I got really scared when I saw The oink Panther strikes back. And it was when I was a kid that I got really scared of mirrors. Never had any problems with horror films like Poltergeist, though. I'm not a normal person.
