To ask what irrationally scared you as a child? *lighthearted*

[liverbird10]

My mother insists I was terrified of the Chef from Sesame Street as a toddler, I would howl whenever he appeared on screen.

I was also petrified by the 2ft Bugs Bunny my brother bought me.

A few years later, it was the Gorgs from Fraggle Rock. I seem to have got over that fear though, my fella resembles a blond one slightly.

Was anybody else round here equally odd?

The It’s a Small World rude at Disneyworld.

Maybe quite a common thing but i was petrified of masks and people dressed up! Good job my parents didnt waste money taking me to disney when i was small 😂

Ride!

I was terrified a rat would bit my bum while I had a pooon the toilet, my lovely sisters told me this could happen. Terrified me!

Big wheel my grandad took me on the one at clacton pier have been scared of them ever since.

Every year my dad took me to the Lord Mayors Show in London. I really enjoyed it apart from one float that always appeared for the army. It had soldiers on it in camouflage with dirt on their faces, and foliage strewn around their helmets. I used to find it terrifying.

Clowns barbies and big flowers

The theme tune from dr who

Like a lot of my generation, the original Doctor Who theme tune.

Balloons. Birthday parties with balloons all around were my worst nightmare. I'm still scared of them now, even my DC aren't allowed them in the house.

The George C Scott version of A Christmas Carol. Jacob Marley scared the shit out of me and I was always convinced he was going to come out my wardrobe. The film's got a bloody U rating too! 🤦‍♀️

What was that film called with the plant that came alive? Fucking freaked me right out when I watched it aged 7. Actually I've been afraid of the dark ever since.

From a toddler until about the age of 7 I was apparently scared of eggs. It's a family joke that I'd start shaking and crying when I saw them.
I have 2 dc who are scared of the vacuum cleaner and no idea why my older dc used to love riding on them when they where little.

Flushing toilets and the space under the bed.

I was a scaredy kid in general but off the top of my head

Burst balloons (because of the balloon ghost)

Waking up the zombies in the toilet when I flushed it (not sure where that came from)

Andy Pandy

Eugene Tooms. Don't let preschoolers watch the X Files people.

Also freezing to death in the sea.

The toilet flushing. Would pull the chain ( yes v old ) and belt down the stairs as fast as possible !

TuesdayAfter little shop of horrors?

Bruce bogtrotter eating that chocolate cake on Matilda.. still can't watch that scene

I convinced myself that the skeksis from the Dark Crystal could come out of the toilet after I flushed it. I used to run out of the loo every time I flushed! I'm surprised my parents never noticed this strange behaviour (especially since I started around six and stopped when I was 12! 😳)

Stigmata and amputation.

flapjack snap!

The awful flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz. They still scare me!

@houseonahill I'm so glad that I'm not the only child who was afraid if things coming out of the toilet! 🤭

Nosy Bonk 😩
