For everyones viewing pleasure....go on Trickyvee-its not that bad seeing it now, as a smoker I actually found some of the concepts in it-save for the mutations, wouldn't want those-rather brilliant-I wish I had self cleaning lungs and resistance to the diseases it all causes....I know the risks so I carry my own cross.
The title the poster used cracked me up.Last edited by sf1378; 13-08-2011, 13:46.

The AIDS ones were just icebergs weren't they? Nothing particularly scary, although seemingly they had a big impact on sexual health in general

Originally posted by Sly View PostI was speaking to my mum about it and the best way I could describe it was that those rooms were very unwelcoming, anything further down the hallway from my bedroom door felt like you you were being pressured to leave. The light switch to turn off the lower landing light was at the end of that hall, but it was very very rare I went and turned the light off there. I wasn't scared of the dark or anything like that, but like I say, just going further into attic territory made my scalp tighten. She said that they (my parents) once viewed a house with the intend to buy (actually at the bottom of the street of the scary house attic), but they couldn't complete the viewing because they had the same oppressive feeling I had about our attic when they went in that houses attic.
These houses were over 100 years old. There's only ever been one other place I've been where I have felt like the room has been wanting to be alone. It unsettles me just thinking about it.
The other occasion I mentioned was when Dad was at work or out. Mum was doing housework and my Sister must have been about 3 or 4. Mum heard a noise and went to look and saw my Sister dazed at the bottom of the stairs. She'd been playing on the landing, Mum immediately looked her over for injuries and there weren't any and she asked her what happened and my Sister said 'A man pushed me down the stairs'...Because she was so small I guess she was like a squidgy rag doll and thats why she must have literally flopped down the stairs and didn't injure herself.
Mum told Dad the story and they didn't like it. A while later whilst chatting to a neighbour who I think asked them about the screaming Dad made that night their neighbour told them that at one stage there had been an old couple in the house and during an arguement the wife pushed her husband down the stairs-he broke his neck and died.
My parents moved from that house sharpish. It was actually No.13 Ormsby St in Reading. They often described it as 'an unlucky house' and that wasn't just to do with the mere supersition of the number.

I was scared by the Impact advert as a kid. Impact was a kind of toilet cleaner or kitchen cleaning fluid, harmless enough I know but the container had a scary picture of a Great White Shark with its mouth wide open on the label. The TV ad for it ended with a picture of the product with the shark on the front and a man's voice said, in a rather threatening tone, "Impact- puts you RIGHT in there, and won't let you go!" As I was little I interpreted this as meaning a shark was going to come and get you!

And in reply to Sly (I don't know how to do double quote replies), I remember some test card noises did have a pulse. It would be a constant ooooooo then 000ooo000ooo000 every 10 seconds or so.
in the first jaws film there is a part where broady and this other fella go out at night to find this dead person.
the other fella goes down and when shining the light on the sea you see the dead fellas head.
stilll scares me.

Originally posted by sf1378 View PostAs a child I hated the Universal Studios planet logo and a certain bit of music they used at the end of their programmes, I'd get up onto the sofa as it was safer being 'up'. Same with Dalek and Cybermen voices back then. I also didn't like seeing Close Encounters of The Third Kind and had a phobia about it until I was about 17 when I forced myself to watch it-it was the aliens and the abductions-I believe in UFO's and life on other worlds and find it both frightening and plausible.
I also didn't like the way old tv's used to have a small white dot appear dead centre on the screen after you turned them off-it was as if it was alive and watching me sometimes.
There was also an anti-smoking ad circa 1985/87 with a weird looking man who didn't have ears but had earholes shaped as they normally are and cataract eyes and bald....he had an egg shaped head-it really frightened me.
I actually found the anti Smoking ad fairly amusing, but the AIDS one from the same era was fairly scary.
