Tv show called "V". Vivid memory of someones face melting.

I remember a work colleague telling me that on the Friday night he was shagging his girlfriend up the arse when she glanced round and then slapped him across his face as he was watching V and not concentrating on the matter in hand

Freddie Mercury in the late 1970s scared the shit out of me.
The teeth didn't help.

There were also a couple of Hammer House of Horror - something like The House That Bled To Death maybe? And one about plants that felt pain - maybe that was an unexpected tale though.

Was gonna post this, shit me right up as a kid ...

That big hairy thing with the big eyes in Fraggle Rock.

Also at Moss Side precinct on the way to the baths there were graffiti murals on the walls. One of them scared the crap out of me. Tried searching to see if there were any pics online but can't find any.

why ?

there is such a thing of a poltergeist ? a unknow power that we fully don't understand yet
yes people have faked it to use and make money out of the unknown. but its the one thing i believe can happen.
its a lost power in humans and sometimes a big thing happens to some people life that triggers it off

the mind is so powerful that we don't fully understand. only a small part of the brain is used to run your body today after day so why have the rest of it if its not being used

Oh dear.

Read the short horror story "The Monkeys Paw" when I was about 11 and it still traumatises me to this day...

Trees in the dark

I was probably around 5 years old, and the silhouettes of them used to give me the eebie jeebies, even now it freaks me out on the odd occasion!!

My brother used to get scared at the theme music to Mastermind!!

I remember this programme on telly, mustve been when I was about 10, I still remember the name, The Hollow Watcher.
It was about a scarecrow that came to life at night terrorizing people. Didnt sleep that night. Scared to fucking death.
