Look and Read
An "edutainment" programme that should be familiar to anyone who attended an English primary school in the late eighties/early nineties - think it was around before then and it definitely carried on a while after (George from Being Human used to be in one particular series.)

Skyhunter, Geordie Racer, there were several different storylines, but the one that sticks in my brain, is 'Through the Dragon's Eye'. You know the story, children paint mural, mural comes to life, children wind up trying to save magical land.

Well, it was all well and good with said children having to solve logic puzzles and the like in order to repair the 'Veetacore' (far too much of this has stuck in my brain).

And then this appears. And then reappears in your nightmares for a good while afterwards. (Though this clip is from the end of the series, so it's not as scary as his first appearance)

A skull headed thing that zaps people into puddles. Despite the dodgy special effects, it still gives me the shudders.
