Freaks me out properly every time it's on! I don't even watch the programme, does it need to be like that? I hate it!!!!!

Ooh it's proper spooky! I love it. Can't wait for live week.

silverstreak · 07/02/2015 20:47

Totally agree!!! Was just thinking exactly the same.... Have been sat here on my own and it's just come on and my heart was proper racing - & it was only 8pm! Not on!!

Oh good! Glad it's not just me!!! Red crayons - the girl on the roof- why is she there? She's very menacing. Is she going to kill one of them? I think it's the menacing tone I don't like and agree with silver streak - too early!! Smile

Oooo a vengeful ghost?!? Eastenders has changed a lot since I last saw it! (And Arthur stole that money....)

Mammanat222 · 07/02/2015 20:57

I've only seen it without sound. .. the girl on the roof is Lucy though?

RedCrayons · 07/02/2015 20:58

Arthur and the Christmas money! Blimey, That's going back a bit.

You know that Den and Ang have split up?

RedCrayons · 07/02/2015 21:00

Sharon well it's not Friday 13th level scary, but its scary for Easties!

26Point2Miles · 07/02/2015 21:00

Lol at it being too early! Too early for what?

RedCrayons Take it easy, you're breaking me! Wink And yes it's too scary to be on before 9pm in my opinion so there!!! Grin

Got to turn up the vol for full spooky effect - that clanging hate!! But admittedly I am definitely a massive scaredy cat and over the years have evolved a finely tuned Wimp-dar that can have the channel changed within milliseconds of anything even slightly creepy coming on... Just don't expect to have to engage it before the watershed... :) yep, haven't seen EastEnders for years either but could definitely have guessed that was a 'ghost' on the roof - missed the bloody hands though! Too busy scrambling for the remote!

DD saw the trailer as it was on straight after The Voice . Too scary for 8pm on a Saturday when DCs are watching (and asking lots of questions...).

silverstreak · 07/02/2015 21:08

*gate, clearly :)

Thank you catzpajamas - that was the point I was really trying to make! (Hope your DDs are ok). Why do they feel the need to put such a provocative trailer on straight after a family aimed show?

Ah music, sorry for the spoiler there. Wink

catzpyjamas · 07/02/2015 21:16

music she's fine thanks, but I know she'll now ask about it, and ghosts, for days on end. I'll be telling her to phone the BBC if she has nightmares though.

AliceinWinterWonderland · 07/02/2015 21:17

oooh I loved the creepy trailer.... excellent!!

When is live week please??
