What TV scared you as a kid?

That video they used to play in schools warning kids not to play on farms scared the SHIT out of me ...
It started with a whole bunch of kids, and by the end, one by one, they had all met a gruesome end...
One drowned in a grain silo... one got caught up in the PTO in the back of a tractor... another got crushed under falling bales
... After that I stopped watching...
I remember that one, absolutely horrific viewing. By turning off you missed out on the kid drinking 'water' from some bottles he found in a shed. Turned out it wasn't water after all but some POISON that left him frothing at the mouth and facing an agonising death. A bad day all around for those kids.

Mildly less distrurbing was the video of the kid flying his kite into high voltage power cables...

There weren't many about, but Danny La Rue freaked me out a tad.
The Singing Ringing Tree... there was something just plain WRONG about this - and it really disturbed me.

The Mysterons from Captain Scarlet petrified me as a nipper. I was always checking my room in the middle of the night, thinking that those white circles of light would be moving around.
I also imagined that Twizzle was stretching his limbs up to reach my first floor bedroom window.
*shudder*

Quatermass was perhaps the scariest thing I can remember, although when i lived in SA, we had a film club after school on fridays and I saw a Hammer film, Circus of Horors. That so scared me, I still to this day cannot watch a film with clowns in it......
Dr Who was bloody scary too

Yeti's in Dr Who got me behind the sofa, a few years later, Dr Who's female assistant (Lela?) dressed in mini animal skins got me hiding for different reasons.

Scariest Dr Who I remember was the one featuring killer foam that roamed everywhere swallowing up everything. They only beat it when they realised that Dr Who sidekick Victoria's screaming was just the right frequency to kill it.
The Autons were bloody creepy too... (I couldn't go near Hanningtons shop window for months afterwards)

I am from a family of paupers, or land-porpoises with talking squawkable blowholes, so my two brothers, sister and i shared a room until i was 18, whilst students rented the other bedrooms so we could get a tad of cash. My mum went away for a weekend when i was around 11, the younger siblings with her, so my brother and i had the house with the one student, Amanda, who had a deftly, pretty face, but hefty frame, to ourselves. We all invited friends round and frolics of different ages began. I had a sip of cider and bandied my as-yet-unwithered limbs around the front room, chasing bats and comicbook villains i still believed existed. The night continued unto a time when the student's few friends informed us they were about to watch a video. I was a fan of film, so welcomed their intent. Me, my brother and two tipsy, mullet-haired pals sat down on the floor as the curtains opened and cinema began. It was a series of 15 minute hardcore pornographs. The first retold the tale of Adam, Eve, Satan and tins of fruit cast open to stuff in Eve's downstairs, mouthy larder, or pineapple rings settling in spin around Adam's hardened mast. The second had an American footballer knocked unconscious in a game to be woken up in mid-ride by two pom-pommers with smelling salts on their vadges. The last one had a boa constructor licking a woman out when i had to leave, feeling somewhat ill. The students left for another room to ram home a series of points they felt we, as yutes, were too innocent to observe.
That was the most damaging thing i watched as a child, i think. I worry at times that it's sexually impaired me ever since, or at least that's what i like to blame it on, rather than just being a bit of a limp dumpling.

The sea monsters in Dr Who had me going behind the sofa with fright. Good call on Lela though. Made a lasting impression on a teenager that did.
The other thing that scared me was a mid-late 70s kids program - can't remember the name - where all mechanical and electrical things stopped working and people couldn't go near power lines, cars, etc. Found that dead creepy and wouldn't go near power lines at all if I could avoid them.
