Following on from the fictional death that affected you thread...

How about tv moments that were terrifying?! 

I still have mental scars from the last episode of the Goodies where the world was about to end and a giant kitten was roaming New York, destroying skyscrapers....

Similarly affected by various episodes of Tom Baker era Doctor Who.

In reply to Hillseeker:

The BBC version of the Triffids, when I was aged 5-8.   I remember being very upset. not by the Triffids themselves, but by the scenes of cities full of blind people roaming the streets and wailing. 

Not really a "TV moment" (although I first saw it on TV) - when the head suddenly falls out of the bottom of the abandoned boat in Jaws.

Yes, agree, the triffids. I was also affected by the plants themselves....

Got to be the one eyed head that pops up in Jaws! When you’re watching it for the first time as a 7/8 year old it was terrifying!

Oh and the Shining always gives me goosebumps, even as a 47 year old!

The undulating cables, flying objects and rippling ground in the BBC's 'Quatermass and the Pit'.

The whole series was one of the high points of BBC science fiction IMO.

Salem's Lot TV series. I was about 10 and it scared the Bejeezus out of me. Fast forward 40 years and the most horrifying aspect is revealed to be David Soul's acting.

Thanks, I'd managed to block that out.  Can't recall much about it, but watching that as a child I do remember that there was something sinister about it that really freaked me out

Hounds I'd Love is yet another example of pugnaciously aggressive "autocorrect"

Yeah I actually never really got into it (I think I was a teeny bit young to understand "post apocalyptic" and it just seemed slow to me, however I did see bits and the shots of tripods walking and more notably the "capping", were scary in a creepy and sinister way. 

 Blue Straggler 08 Jul 2019
In reply to Hillseeker:

This is an odd one but I used to find the silhouette dancer at the start of Tales of the Unexpected creepy rather than sexy! Not sure if that was the intention.

Also never liked that glass skull at the start of Arthur C Clarke's World of Strange Powers, which leads me to....

at the age of around 11, when being presented with some of the still images of the girls involved in the Enfield Poltergeist case, on the aforementioned Clarke programme which pretended to be a serious programme and pretended that it believed the girls, it was a tad full-on (the bedroom levitation photos etc). 

None of these were "terrifying TV moments" as such, though. More "unsettling". I'll have to ponder this one. Good thread.

An episode of Ulysses 31 scared me as a young boy. It crystallised the concept of eternal punishment to my developing brain: a concept I was already primed for, having been raised in the church. It disturbed me at the time and has stuck with me to this day. Judging from the comments on YouTube I wasn’t the only one.

Blimey Eamonn - that's the first thing that came into my mind when reading this thread too! Terrifying. Must have stayed behind the sofa for days after that!

In reply to Hillseeker:

Bare with me here.........

I remember (it's burnt into my mind) a spoof announcement coming on the TV when I was around 8-10 years old .

I think it was I later found out in the middle of a comedy program of some description , although I didn't know this at the time.

Anyway  the program cuts away to the old sort of BBC blue screen image of the earth rotating around and the announcer states solemnly that Russia has launched nuclear missiles at the west and we were going to get a nuclear strike in about 30 minutes and we should prepare for it.

I was fu@king horrified by this, as although I was a child I was pretty aware that this was the end of life as I knew it.

I'll never forget the feeling , It was cruel and in very bad taste.

I've struggled to find any reference to it myself recently .

Does anyone else know what I'm on about ?

I haven't imagined this.

There were a lot of public education films specifically designed to scare the shit out of kids back then.  Happy days.  Anyone else remember the 'Spirit of Dark and Lonely Water'? 

It was always exciting when the big telly on a trolley was wheeled into the classroom, then one day at primary school they wheeled it in and sat us all down to watch 'Apaches' (a public education film about farm safety) and traumatised the lot of us. Jeez.  It was like 'Final Destination' for kids -  a group of children are playing around a farmyard and get killed off in various horrible accidents, each time one of them dies the rest just carry on like nothing happened.

Except it wasn't the last episode, there were several more series after Kitten Kong. And it was London not New York.

I guess it's hard to tell from behind the sofa

As an adult watching it just now, deffo - that was probably the thing that most got to me. 

Back then the what really stuck with me was the boy who drowns in the slurry pit, something about the way he falls in and just sort of disappears without trace - there were definitely a few nightmares about that and it was the one thing I still remembered clearly about the film from 40 odd years ago before I found it again on youtube this morning.

Yes!

I think that must have been the one mentioned above:
"The Tom Baker Dr who where some bloke turns into a giant plant and eats a stately home (complete with alien rip off egg shocker)"

Except that it wasn't Tom Baker, it was towards the end of Jon Pertwee's time as the Doctor.  (And well before Alien of course.) 

I'm not sure if it's just because I was younger, or partly because he was less jokey with the jellybabies and wotnot, but I found Jon Pertwee's Doctor Who much more frightening than it was in Tom Baker's time.  (Not that I was above hiding behind the sofa from time to time then too.)

E2A:
Oh, and the two Doctor Who films as well!  (The ones with Peter Cushing as the Doctor.)
Must have been repeats on the telly because I wasn't born yet when they first came out. 
Funny, I just remember the one film, but I must be smooshing them up together because I could have sworn Roy Castle and Bernard Cribbins were both in it.  (Wikipedia tells me they did one each and weren't in the same film together.) 
There was something about the two counter-rotating rings around the Dalek spaceship that made it *really* scary.  Looking at photos of it now it's slightly ludicrous, like a blend of a classic flying saucer, a Lancaster bomber and a Bedford van!

In reply to Hillseeker:

as we seem to be allowing movies to creep into this (as long as they were first seen on TV), I will say that Dr Hans Zarkov's brainwashing REALLY creeped me out in Flash Gordon, as his memories are shown in reverse all the way back to stock footage of a foetus and beating heart soundtrack. It freaked me out and I stopped watching, and stayed away from that film for far too many years. Now, it's "nothing" but there was something about it, when I was....mmmm I don't know how old I was actually.... that I really didn't like. Perhaps the use of grainy stock footage for his memories, which made it feel really REAL in the context of the campy space sets and lurid colours and costumes of that film.

The Stone Tape. 

Yes I agree scared the living daylights out of me,being so young God knows how I got to see it but back in the 1970s the TV was awash with many terrifying series of plays depicting ghosts and monsters and ominous scary weird settings, it was seen as normal and on top of all that you had this Yorkshire ripper running about for years that they couldn't catch and children going missing all the time. I remember one play that was on in the afternoon with the ghost of a Hussar in a mirror, I was scared to look in a mirror for ages after that. And another about a white horse, I used to wake up with nightmares of a white horse at the foot of my bed. No wonder we all had recurring nightmares for years but we loved to watch that stuff for the excitement of being terrified.

I’m sure I remember seeing Jaws on TV at 8 or 9 with no fuss from parents. Maybe back in those days (early to mid 1980s) it was just assumed that if it was on television before bedtime, it would be ok. Or parents just weren’t bothered about creating a violent desensitised youth culture

Anyone seen Culloden or The War Game from the 60s?

In reply to Hillseeker:

Great thread.

My nan owned a video shop and my parents had rather a liberal approach to horror films so I'd seen most horror movies by a very young age. Consequently I became rather desensitised to horror and almost nothing scared me, other than a few films/tv.

Someone else has already quoted Salems Lot and the rocking cgair scene. I watched this full tv series when it came out - Im 43 so I guess I was pretty young - it terrified me for months.  Some of the American Warewolf in London scenes freaked me out a bit too but having watched it recently, what a great film. Plus theres Jenny Agutter with her kit off.

I was also brought up on a diet of Hammer Horror films. Most were pretty funny, even as a kid but there was one which I cant remember the name of. It had a hitch hiker in a raincoat with a weird elongated middle finger nail and had a car crash. It terrified  me.  If anyone can help me find this episode I would be hugely grateful as Id love to watch it now and most likely find it wholly ridiculous now.

No. 

The Seeds of Doom was Tom Baker and the man turning into a plant. Seem to remember there being a big mulcher where people were fed into it for compost. 

The Green Death was the maggots and that was John Pertwee. 

The Brain of Morbious was my favourite one. That was Tom Baker and I bought it in DVD along with The Hand of Fear about 10 years ago. They’re ok, but not quite how I remember them.
