This is literally the creepiest thing I've ever seen in my life. If I'd watched that as a child, I'd have grown up to be a serial killer. Thank God I wasn't born until a year after it aired...

Oh yeah, I've seen this. It's from an animated film about Mark Twain. Creepy indeed.
Posted by Harry (Member # 265) on :
Very nicely done, and perfectly creepy. That masked Satan works really well.
Posted by Sean (Member # 2010) on :
That is some of the strangest shit I've ever seen. The morphing satan-mask is just plain weird. Was this movie popular back in the day?
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
I never saw it before, but it proves what I've always said: Claymation is the tool of Satan.
Posted by Da_bang80 (Member # 528) on :
That may have been creepy back in the day, but there's worse on Teletoon now.

"Oops...what am I doing...there, OK!" << Hilarity. Between the funny and the creepy I may have to buy this movie off eBay.

I can't believe they actually considered letting kids watch this shit. It would give regular adults nightmares.
Posted by Sean (Member # 2010) on :
Maybe, but this tells our kids it's okay to be complete R-Tards. At least when I was younger they had Barney. THat was quality programming...

You have yet again lost any and all credibility you may have been building up. I haven't ever let my kids watch that crap.

Nothing I ever saw on PBS thought me anything, except this show. Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Bill Nye was pretty great, but, as someone from a slightly older generation, I have to throw my preference behind the late Mr. Wizard (though, he wasn't on PBS).
As for PBS, I have to stick up for Sesame Street, though. It may be shit now, but, 20-25 years ago when I was watching it, it was good.
Posted by Mars Needs Women (Member # 1505) on :
I never liked Sesame Street, those puppets were creepy looking.

Well, at the age of three, when I thought the television remote turned on the car, I had very little choice.
Bill Nye was great. My science teachers still show some topic specific episodes in class.

Youtube never ceases to amaze me on all the creepy things you can upload and find there during work...
Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
I remember seeing this as a kid. Glad I can put a title to it now.
Posted by Reverend (Member # 335) on :
There's a film I've been trying to put a name to for ages and no amount of Googling has so far turned it up.
All I really remember is that it's a cheep 70's or 80's Sci-fi horror that involved aliens throwing living frisbies at people that latch on to their heads and eat their brains...now you know the kind of stuff that I watched as a child. I think I was 7 when I saw Robocop so was desensitised at a young age. I blame my older brothers as my earliest movie experience was being made to watch Ghostbusters on video. That bit at the beginning with the library ghost scared the shit out me and I had nightmares about terror dogs for weeks...but then I was only 3 at the time.
Posted by Da_bang80 (Member # 528) on :
Was it "Without Warning"? I just took that sentence of yours that described the movie and broke it up and googled it and that's what I got.
OK it's official, Google hates me. First the Grissom's bridge thing, now this. I think I only saw like the last 30 mins of it once way back in the 80's but I just had a quick look at some clips on youtube and it certainly looks like the same flick. Note for future reference: nobody hire me as a researcher - I suck!
[EDIT] Defiantly the same movie, I totally remember this bit! I know it looks crap, but to a five year old, it was the most disgusting thing I'd seen. Of course my standards are different now as I have since seen Showgirls. Posted by Da_bang80 (Member # 528) on :
I am a master googler. I can find practically anything on the internet given enough time and a full cup of coffee.
Posted by Mars Needs Women (Member # 1505) on :
One of the earliest movies I remember was They Live.
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
Longest fight scene of all time. Still. "PUT ON THE GLASSES!" Posted by Daniel Butler (Member # 1689) on :
If/when I have kids one day, they will not be exposed to Barney and the Teletubbies and Sesame Street. No, they'll get the same quality programming my dad exposed me to from the age of nil onwards: Ghostbusters, The Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, all the Robocop movies, and documentaries on TV about human reproduction. My reading material was his old college textbooks (I remember reading about the Tunguska event when I was 4 or so) and my music was Beatles and Monkees all the way.
No wonder I'm so damn cool.
Posted by Harry (Member # 265) on :
Strangely enough, one of the earliest "scary!" memories I have are not of any sort of horror movie, but... wait for it... Cliff Richard.
Yes. Cliff Richard and the Young Ones. Mostly for Vyvyan screaming his head off, but the way the guys shout "LIVING DOOOLLL" still stirs memories of terror somewhere deep down.
Posted by Daniel Butler (Member # 1689) on :
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Scared the living piss out of me. Terminator enthralled me. Go figure.
Posted by Sean (Member # 2010) on :
For the longest time, Edward Scissor Hands scared the crap out of me. I used to think he was hiding under my bed. Scared me right to sleep, that did.
Posted by Da_bang80 (Member # 528) on :
I remember this one part of a movie whose name I cannot remember. The scene was of a large tunnel in what I believe was a space station. A group of people and a weird robot thing were running across a catwalk while a huge fireball was rolling toward them down the tunnel. Another scene I remember was of a guy getting shot with some gun that blew a hole through his middle. And he reached in and touched his innards before he keeled over. That really grossed me out back when I was like 5.

I remember seeing Attack from Mars, or whatever the title was, as a kid, and crying, not only because there were people being disentigrated by ray guns, but because I thought it was sad to do that to people. I have only seen it once since.
Posted by Daniel Butler (Member # 1689) on :
Mars Attacks! is the name of it.
Posted by Sean (Member # 2010) on :
Yea, thats the one. Scared the hell out of me.

That's the one. I remember the goofy eyes on the robot.
Posted by Daniel Butler (Member # 1689) on :
So nobody else got scared by the Chocolate Factory, eh? How about the Wizard of Oz? Both of those movies were just so...surreal and weird and creepy. Plus, the Chocolate Factory killed all the freaking kids!

For reasons I cannot really explain, the first three Superman movies left me with a deep sense of uneasiness and dread as a child. Like, no joke. Something just isn't right about the whole world in those.

The Blob frightened me more than god himself when I was younger. Not even the Exorcism left me with as much dread as Steve McQueen running away from a big, living, dark-colored slab of melted jell-o.
There, I said it.

which one? there's been several remakes that i recall (especially the one with the phonebooth chick seeing the decomposed sherrif in the outside glass)
Posted by B.J. (Member # 858) on :
He said Steve McQueen, so I'd assume the original. As for Mars Attacks, that was funny as hell! We had a huge group back in college all go to see it, and we were laughing our asses off the whole time. The one Physics major in our group thought the funniest thing was the Martians inhaling the helium from the nuclear explosion, but Physics majors are weird anyway.

Mine was probably "The Green Slime". I remember it was Trick or Treat nite and instead of allowing me to go, my #!@$&*)#%+# step-father, King Charles the First, decided we all had to go to the movies and that was what we saw.
Its amazing what will scare you when you are 4 years old.
Posted by Da_bang80 (Member # 528) on :
That's true, I was scared of people when I was 4. Oh wait, I still am...
Posted by Lee (Member # 393) on :
OK, I've got one. SF film, possibly a TV film, from about 1987. Aliens invade space station or space ship (if the latter, it's en route to, or orbiting, Earth). Cross between Alien and The Thing - infected people sprout tentacles etc. At the end hero and heroine escape in a shuttle and the ship burns up or explodes or something (a la Alien resurrection).
Posted by Daniel Butler (Member # 1689) on :
No idea what you're talking about, but it reminded me of something for some reason which is totally unlike it. Except that it also is a "body snatchers" type thing. I think it might have been an episode of that Nickelodeon show "Are you Afraid of the Dark?" ...anyway...long story short, aliens taking over people's bodies, who subsequently being to pour coffee down the front of their pants in order to ingest it. That's really all I remember.
