What Non-Horror Movie/Show Scared You When You Were Younger?
I've always been curious about the ridiculous, unintentionally scary things that scared people when they were kids (or, if they're willing to admit it, still scare them). I decided to ask our listeners on Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit to give me their best answer. I learned a lot...mostly that more than a handful of folks were terrified of Courage the Cowardly Dog, which seems completely ironic. Anyway, here are some of the best responses I got.
I'm adding Gamork because that creepy jerk gave me nightmares for years.
I think I like the use of "pedo fingers" the best.
Watership Down was a popular answer on Reddit, too. Such a depressing book & movie.
I'm not ashamed to admit this movie also creeped me out...
WTH?!
Even the name "Mr Meaty" is unsettling.
I think it's the hotdog lips...
I was pleased to get so many great answers - quite a few that I'd never even heard of (Little Pig Robinson is definitely nightmare fuel). Are there any that were missed? What weird thing, not of the horror genre, creeped you out when you were younger? Leave your answer in the comments! We want to hear all of em.
