Any sort of animatronics.

There were some terrible robot bears playing banjos at a family farm that for some reason my sister loved and I had to watch.

I LOVE Fraggle Rock, but it’s those huge mouths and eyes. I’m looking at The Riddlers and even now it’s creeping me oot

  • Kids being electrocuted
  • Kids being drowned
  • Kids being abducted
  • House fires

Oh also hated the darkness of AV channels when I was a kid. If I wanted to play a game I’d always, always start the console before switching over because I hated the eerie blankness. Not scary, just uneasy.
