I remember as a toddler being terrified of the classic Disney cartoon The Old Mill—specifically by this bit. Yeah. Not by the cute animals in peril or anything to do with the storm itself (and I was terrified of storms!), but the image of a hollow tree. I don't understand it either. The castle music from the original Super Mario Bros was the most terrifying thing when I was 5-6 years old. I think it was a combination of the creepiness of the music, the creepiness of the castle stages, and that the bass was at just the right frequency that it made our crappy TV rattle. I remember one time some relative was visiting and playing Nintendo and he didn't know about the Warp Zone in 1-2, and I was so upset at the thought of having to hear the castle music that I hid in my bedroom and puked. I also had the whole fear of the dark thing, where the shadows in the corners of my room seemed they were shifting or moving toward me. But being a very rational 5-year old, I didn't think they were ghosts. They were burglars. Rollersnake has a new favorite as of 08:53 on Feb 25, 2014 |

sweeperbravo posted:Melting Dave from Alvin and the Chipmunks Haha, goddamn it, I'd forgotten about this, but this totally terrified me too. I remember one of the chipmunks gasping when he discovers the half-melted Dave left outside in the lawnchair, or something. There was also a tendency for cartoons around that era to have nightmarish alternate timeline "just a dream" episodes, and those scared the hell out of me. I don't even remember what happened in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles one, but it gave me nightmares. Also the Gargoyles one where Broadway is brain-damaged and had his eyes gouged out. sweeperbravo posted:edit: Here, apparently, is the description for the Wax Dave episode, courtesy of Wikipedia: Ha, I replied before I realized you'd posted this. I'll be honest, I still find it kind of unnerving, but that's not at all what I remember the face looking like. I remembered the eyes being wide open, and one dripped halfway down his head or something. Rollersnake has a new favorite as of 02:52 on Aug 18, 2014 |
