I remember the first time I heard it-when I woke up in the middle of the night,and I saw that green screen and that buzzing noise-oh god I got so scared,I ran into my mom's bed! Nowadays,I barley see it on TV-and I stay up late sometimes,but I hear it on the radio oftenly. Can someone explain why this is so? What also scares me was those clown faces posted.Those scared me soooo much. As for production logos-there is one that scared the s**t out of me. It was on Scooby-Doo's Greatest Mysteries-I was looking at some logos-and at the end of the tape-there was a bonus Powerpuff girls cartoon. At the end-was one of the scariest variants of the Swirling Star logo. It went on as normal-but it was silent,then towards the end of the logo,the sound came back,and it went down again. Then when the logo finished,the scariest part came From the middle of the screen,a cartoon network screen zoomed smoothly up to the screen-and there was a boing sound accomping it.I'll put it up on Youtube soon. The worldvision home video logo also scared me very much. The closet killer theme also scared me-but not too much. My favorite closing logo,is the S from Hell.I just love it. My other favorite is the Paramount Television mountain logo. I also like the V of Doom-it's not scary at all to me. Another thing that made me jump is that when I went to the Movies to watch Surf's Up,there was a trailer about this super dog. What scared me was that at the end,there was a panning shot of a building for like 1-3 seconds,then out of nowhere-the dog zooms up to the screen very fast. Those are the things that scares me. There's a whole thread dedicated to Production Logos. http://www.retrojunk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4922

Everything was fine, we had pizza and played - until I met Chuck E. Cheese himself. He said hi and waved, but I think something about his size and his face hit a nerve. I screamed my head off and started crying, and it was a while before I could go back. I still get a little leery whenever I take my nieces there to play. Oh yeah...I used to be scared of Teddy Ruxpin. One time I was sleeping, and that stupid bear started talking out of the blue. Needless to say, Teddy didn't stay in my room after that. I also was a little scared of the criminals from "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego". I don't know why, but something about them freaked me out.

Nowadays,I barley see it on TV-and I stay up late sometimes,but I hear it on the radio oftenly. Can someone explain why this is so? . I don't know why it's on the radio all the time, but one night, last year sometime I woke up and it was doing it's last "ERT ERT ERT!" And the station went back into a tune...well, like 7 minutes later the song that was playing cut out and it went back to the EAS! No "this is a test" or "if this was an actual emergency" afterwards...just went back into the tune...another 5-10 minutes later it went back to the EAS. It did that like 5 times before I was thoroughly creeped out and turned the station. (I went and checked the radar on my computer to see if there was a storm or something, but it was clear). MAN that was freeky. On TV, they just run a crawl on the top of the screen saying "this is a test" with that horrid noise. At least the EBS had weird slides that would come up for the duration of the test. Some were kinda pretty and flowery...

I was afraid of loud noises for years when out of the streets where someone was setting off illegal fireworks in the middle of the street. That gave me the creeps. The one thing after a firework explode it came down and it doesn't fade away. That scared me to death. You mean this: http://www.audiosparx.com/sa/archive/Amusement/Fireworks/Fireworks/34190

DMoney89 7 years 5 months ago Posts: 2531 Account Disabled	Pumpkinhead.... To this day, I refuse to watch that movie. I was only 8 when I first layed eyes on that monster. He was only onscreen for like 3 seconds, and I was done. I completely lost my shit. I had nightmares for years after that.

The more you know. Something where they'd dispense facts while showing a rainbow with a star, the music got to me somehow.

They are traumatizing, and they are EVIL. that's a big one. hand puppets are terrible. i had a recurring nightmare that a purple bunny hand puppet poked it's head over our upstairs landing and waved me to climb the stairs. i could never see the puppeteer, but i always slowly followed and just as i was about to see i would wake up in silent-scream mode. you know, terror so bad no noise will come out of the throat hole. i've had that nightmare on and off for over 20 years now. the funny thing is, i have a purple bunny hand puppet staring down at me from the top shelf of my desk right now and that damn thing gives me goosebumps every time i look at it. that was a gift from my boyfriend after he found out about my big fear. how sweet.

Furienna 7 years 5 months ago Posts: 351	While reading this thread, I remembered this... When I was like eight and nine years old, "Chip'n'Dale rescue rangers" was my favorite TV show. But sometimes, it creeped me out. I was especially traumatized by one episode, where a fortune teller fly named Cassandra predicts Chip will be crushed by an elephant. Everybody thought Chip was going to die, even though Chip himself tried to prove it was silly to believe fortune tellers. Well, even though the elephant didn't crush Chip, so he survived, that episode scared me badly. When I told other kids about how this episode scared me, they just said "But everything went well!" And I knew that, I wasn't stupid. But I had a crush on the Chip character at the time, so the mere thought of him dying was too much for me. I even hated fortune tellers for a couple of years afterwards. Two other favorite shows from my childhood was "Widget the world watcher" and "Thundercats". When I thought about my bad experience with a "Chip'n'Dale" episode, I remembered some things about these two other shows. I was really freaked out by two episodes of WTWW. One episode was about how a villain hypnotized all kinds of animals, and Widget, so they would be his slaves and work for him. I hate hypnosis, I still do. And there was also one episode, where Widget was turned into a "primitive world watcher", a Neanderthal version of his species. God, I hated that one too! And I have one single episode of "Thundercats" on VHS, and in one scene of that very episode, a unicorn is trapped by a monster tree. Even though Lion-O comes and saves the unicorn, that must be one of the most terrible scenes I managed to get on VHS as a girl. And it didn't help, that I watched that episode one morning, and later that day, I followed my sister up into the woods, only to see a tree, who resembled that monster tree way too much. Of course, this tree didn't catch any unicorns, but it looked like it had the same terrible smile, that the monster tree on "Thundercats" had. I also remember an episode of what I now believe must be "Justice League". Superman and Wonderwoman had to be shrinked, so they could be injected into another hero's body. They travelled in a little spaceship-like vehicle through this guy's veins from his leg up to his brain. I was uncomfortable with this from the beginning, but when they were getting to the heart, I had to get my sister, who was eleven years older than me and already an adult at this point. I couldn't continue watching the show without her by my side. And don't even get me started on "Are you affraid of the dark?" I hate horror movies. But I'm okay with Michaels Jackson's "Thriller" and "Ghosts", but that's probably because I love Michael so much, that he can't scare me.
