Things that SCARED you when you were young[er]

My mums driving, it was atrocious.

When I was quite young, say 7 or 8 (1975-ish or maybe earlier) I vaguely remember this weekly children's drama which was set in a town or village and every so often they'd be this wierd sound/force field which spooked the inhabitants including me. A group eventually traced it to a cave. This is all I can remember. If anyone can name this program please do...but I appreciate my description is very vague.

Is this it?

Edit...It doesn't look so scary 40 years on.

What made them so fantastically scary was the fact they were such a simple concept created from an everyday object. Also from the same program and just as frightening was this scene

I've skipped straight to the last post of this thread just in case anyone has put a picture up of the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang child catcher. Still scares me now *shudder*

I've never been a fan of punch and judy either.

Park keepers. As a kid in Saunder's park the shout "PARKY" would be our cue to try and get off the depot roof without being seen and chased.

Yep. I remember that bald man with the angry eyebrows very well. A bit like Mr Hyde.

Oh my god. This is it. Thank you so much. I have wondered what this program is for decades and either no one has known or internet searches have come up blank.

And you're right it doesn't look very scary now but in my defence I was 7 at the time. The wonder of NSC.

Can I ask, do you remember it yourself or google it?

Dustcarts & Rubber

The smell of rubber used to make me a bit wierd as a youngster after an unpleasant experience with a gas mask at the dentist.

Weirdly, the ident for 'The Video Collection':



I had many a video with that on as a kid, and for some reason it scared the pants off me. Still makes me feel uncomfortable to watch it, even now.

No idea why.

I googled it, something along the lines of " kids programme 1970's weird sound in cave".

For some reason Rupert Bear when I was really young but also the Cuban crisis in 1962 didn't understand it at the time but just remember my parents discussing and being worried
