Round the Twist...
...was a kids TV show on in the early-mid 90s, usually involving a group of kids solving mysteries (I think? can't remember the exact premise of the show).

One particular episode involved a scarecrow that came to life and chased said kids round a lighthouse, which terrified me for several weeks afterwards.

If you saw it I'm sure it stuck with you for a long time...

according to
that great bastion of truth wikipedia round the twist was:

"a Logie Award-winning Australian children's television series about three children and their widowed father who live in a lighthouse and become involved in many magical adventures."

it was awesome

where they were all sat in a car, and rubbish kept attaching itself to them, can't recall the reason, but like ciggies ad old cans and stuff. Not creepy per se, but weird enough to stick with me! eurrghhh

Ooh! I remember that!
It was based on some weird books, too. I used to read them religiously in primary school. Now I have to go and look it up on ewechewed or something...

...Edit: yeah, it's not got any less creepy and insane.

It was based on Paul Jennings' short stories.
I loved this show, though they were based upon many many short stories that were designed to be a bit weird or creepy, aimed at kids, and thus had to squash or adapt things often to fit the events around one family. I think the lighthouse may have been knocked down a few years ago,IIRC.
