The Return Of Rothkoid

03:56 / 26.06.06

You think you had it bad? I was raised on the sheer Beckettian horror of this vicious little fucker

Oh, I know that shit. I know it well. It's like a sock-clad version of Bad Boy Bubby.

"Pob want see your tits!"

Dear christ.

I find myself saying this yet again- British television had some fucked up children's shows.

Tezcatlipoca

I grew up in deepest darkest Devon. Once a year, my parents would take me along to a festival in a near-by village which was a blend of ancient pagan celebration, and the carnival-style hunting of an Irish earl, and one such character there was the traditional 'Oss (Hobby Horse).

So, you're an impressionable young four year old, standing there holding your parent's hand and this thing comes whirling and snapping towards you:

*gibbers*

try growing up in Scotland.

Fucking bogles. I *really* wish my mother hadn't told me the bogles would nip off my toes if I didn't get into bed and go to sleep. It worked, but at what cost?

Nosybonk nearly made me weep with fear when I clicked the link. MacReady must die.

So no-one else was scared shitless by the Child Catcher?

Weird.

Strange Machine Vs The Virus with Shoes

Three of the things that scared the bejesus out of me as a kid as was the Bigfoot from the Goodies (never seen), the big brain from Blake 7, which was fed with humans on a conveyer-belt. And Tommy Cooper! For some reason he scared the shit out of me!

After watching some of these clips, all I have to say is

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! YOU HAD TO WATCH THAT SHIT?

Man, this thread is now actually making me curious as to what freaked me out when I was a young Canadian boy...

Lamb Chops, perhaps?

Earlier than I thought

Zippy off Rainbow. Surely I'm not alone in this? The nightmares would never end. Every night, I'd try to escape the zipping jaws of death and...is this getting a bit Freudian or what?

The Groke...was kind of tragic cool, I always thought. Tove Jansson hinted that the Groke was symbolic of something; I think she once said (I'm paraphrasing) that you need to look at the context she appears in each time; towards the end of the books she seems to be oddly associated with unrequited feelings. Ah! I get it! 'Cold'! Simpleton.

We had those NFB cartoons they'd throw on TVO (I'm an Ontario lad) between Mr. Rogers and Sesame Street. Weird, weird acid trips with free jazz soundtracks.

Nothing compared to that clip, though. That penis-faced thing is truly, utterly, mindbogglingly fucked up. Who in God's name was behind that? What were they thinking?

ZOLTON !! from Battle of the Blanets - was her the first transexual superhero i dont know but the fact he had lipstick on didnt help..

That would be ZOLTAR. I certainly found the character's gender bending slightly disconcerting as a child. I have grown up, however.

Zelda, was truly fucking horrible. And that crying nephew thing, what the bastard was that all about? Terrahawks has a lot to answer for.
