...I come from the Purves Noakes and Singleton era...

Me too; though Purves, Noakes and Judd also represents the time I watched the show regularly. I liked Lesley Judd a lot. I loved her gentle approach, her voice and her smile.

I hadn't thought of this before but you're right!

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

Not sure I've seen the original. Although I'm sure I've seen a few crappy re-makes.
Reminds me of one of my all time best Horrors "The Haunting"
The banging on the wall...

The Haunting is just fantastic. The bit when the door starts bulging and you find yourself wondering what's doing it...

Or when Eleanor tells Theo to stop squeezing her hand so tight. Only Theo is nowhere near her.

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

By pizza slice, i assume you mean the implement used to cut it, rather than as i first thought, an actual slice of pizza. That would rank as probably the worst weapon in TV and Film history

LOLOLOL!! HAAHAHAHAHAAAH!! Stopit.........

Re: most frightening as a child

I love salems lot (original, not the remake). The scariest part is when Jason hears the rocking chair upstairs. We've all had moments when we've heard something upstairs.

Re: most frightening as a child

Salem's Lot - terrifying. Have the disc from the States and really should get around to seeing it again.

In the unnerving arena, there was an episode of Tales of the Unexpected where an inventor made a microphone that translated the sounds made by plants. At one point he hears pained squeals as a neighbour picks flowers; the episode ends just as he is about to listen to a tree as he is about to hit it with an axe.

The abominable Dr Phibes. The nurse who has her face eaten by locusts while she was asleep. Had real problems sleeping after that.

a programme about kids playing on a train track on nationwide which gave me nightmares

Re: TV that scared you.

Ghost watch has to be the winner, PIPES ....PIPES !!!!!!


I still cant believe they didnt "Advertise" it as a work of fiction instead of letting everyone believe it was a "live" documentory.

If it wasnt for the bit at the end with i think Michael Parkinson saying theres gremlins in the works and the funny stuff happening on screen i would probably still be thinking it was real.

Mad stuff

Woff

It was part of the Saturday night play season and it had a cast list and a 'written by' credit in the Radio Times. How much more advertising does it need? The poor old beeb can't be blamed because people are too thick to read and jump on a Daily Mail shock-horror campaign .

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

Oh God I remember that Don't be Afraid of the Dark film too! It was horrifying
Do you remember the awful voices the little beasts had?
'Sally..Sally!'
Uuurgh, still makes me shudder!

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

One thing that used to scare me when I was about 5 or 6 was a car advert where a (black?) car was driving through a forest at night and you saw an owl, a Knight or something...Might have been a panther as well (possibly?). It was all set to a rather dark classical piece of music as well...

Can't remember what car it was for though.

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

Mine TWIN PEAKS (the TV series)...absolutely terrifying ... When I grew up and they had re-runs on TV, I couldn't watch it cuz I was too scared and traumatized ...
