As mentioned in an earlier post I was terrified (along with every other 70's kid) of this guy:



And at a younger age:



I mean seriously, what were they thinking?  :o

So, what / who were your childhood bogeymen? (with pictures).

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

For ages after seeing the film, I wouldn't go upstairs on my own in case he was up there.
Life is too important to be taken seriously.

Last Hussar

The episode of Doctor Who with the country manor house being attacked by some sort of giant sea anemone.  I became convinced it was lurking behind my bedroom door.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

None. But I remember reading a vampire story late at night in my teens, quite aware it was a story, and enjoying it. The book was, however, illuminated by a lamp over my shoulder, and when I'd finished and I turned out the light, I still remember how the area of floating blackness in the middle of my retina gave me the heebie-jeebies.

That aside, history scares me far more than fiction.

There is that.  I remember reading about "The Black Hole of Calcutta" when I was about ten; really frightened me.
