Worzel Gummage, he is just a freak!!!!!

the shop window dummies in Dr. Who that came to life ...EEEK!!

The pink one from "Rainbow" used to make my brother cry LOL

And the childcatcher, although that is now one of my favourite films.

scarecrow character in bob the builder scares me

Daleks and the roaring lion at the begining of MGM films.

Timeslip - the woman who aged to 200.

Oh yes the Child Catcher - I still shudder when I think of him. I was another one who cowered behind the sofa when the Daleks and Cyber men came on in Dr Who.

Wurzel changing his head and the daleks.

the music for the Denim aftershave advert

(can't believe I've just admitted that to the whole world, don't think dh knows.......)

runnyhabbit - of course mumsnet is the whole world

is that the ad where the woman runs her hand across the man's chest and then he stops her?

hehe

Runnyhabit!

Scrooge.......the old black and white one

day of the triffids (i have a morbid fear of fireworks which i'm sure is not entirely unconnected)
V .. the child with the scary forked tongue

Then again the Moomins used to freak me out

Not a tv thing but, something I do remember was a craze for Pierrot dolls and associated merchandise. I used to hate that scary little crying man pretending to be a doll.

I am for being such a wuss.

just caught up on this thread- sapphire and steele scared my sister for years-esp the episode where a baby grows up into a bloke in a nappy in about 10 seconds... even now Brahms lullaby freaks her out. And the one set during the Blitz- pack up your troubles singing in the backgrond.. I LOVED that programme, but bet it is SOOO dated now...

Can't remember the name of it, but it had a little troll in it that lived in the wall of a girls bedroom, and he used to come out when she was asleep and suck her breath out of her. Everyone thought it was the cat. Anyway, the troll ended up in lots of bits when he hit the fan.

I think it was called cats eyes, possibly.
