Every time I saw the evil sister sing in Stay by Shakespeare Sister, she was terrifying 😂..
Also the King in There must be an angel by the Eurythmics, his little wink as the camera closes... Also terrified me.

Thriller terrified me

Robbie Williams Rock DJ video when he started peeling off his skin and chucking bits of it everywhere!

It was before my time, but when they used to show the video for Elton John I'm still standing, I really didn't like the way the people were moving. I thought it was sinister.

And then decades later, Bruno Strictly gets famous and it turns out he was one of them Hmm

I remember watching Babylon Zoo perform "Spaceman" on Top of the Pops and it completely freaked me out. The keyboardist was "dressed" as an alien but I was convinced it was real. I can't even listen to it - I'm in my 30s.

Oh goodness, yes Thriller scares the life out of me, more so the terrifying evil laugh at the end..

Sledgehammer with all the fruit and veg - makes my skin crawl for some reason

Firestarter - The Prodigy. I was a bit scared of Keith but also mesmerised by him, I was only about 7 or so. By the time I was a teenager I was a huge fan.

The zombies in Thriller.

I'm a bit older so the full version of Michael Jackson's thriller (with all the zombies) did it for me

Radiohead song, can't remember which one but he sings when his head is in this big fish bowl and slowly fills with water throughout the song

Not me but my dd was scared shitless of the old lady in the video ‘tribute’-she stands outside the recording booth,her eyes go red and she laughs
She loved the rest of the video though

Anything with Kate Bush in it used to scare the shit out of me. Her floating about all dressed in white used to make me think she was a witch!
