THINGS THAT SCARED ME WHEN I WAS A KID #8: ATV (UK)'s "Thriller" TV Series by Brian Clemens (The Entire Damn Thing)

Distorted, fisheye lens credits. Insanely creepy music. Shot of video. Satanism in small villages, heroes turn out to be psychopaths, reincarnated killers whistle. I lose my shit.

THINGS THAT SCARED ME WHEN I WAS A KID #4: The Cover of Creepy #62

Poe's "The Black Cat". Not only is the lady in the wall dead, but she's making some sort of hideous, soundless, accusatory shriek. And she got spittle trails in her mouth. And her husband (who killed her) is clearly insane. And it's the kind of insanity that doesn't get better!

THINGS THAT SCARED ME WHEN I WAS A KID #3: The Cover of Creepy #59

It's Santa. And he killed a lady in her underwear. With an axe. And he's skinny. What's wrong with Santa?! He's looking at me!
