I saw this as a kid and I was proper terrified. Thanks for letting me stay up, Grandad!

What shouldn't you have seen as a child?

The Curse of Frankenstein
Tame now, but I was nine at the time and it scared me shitless. I'd begged to be allowed to stay up and watch it, then spent the rest of the night not able to sleep.

That's the thing
I'm sure I wore him down until he let me stay up, but it was well outside my comfort zone.

I just watched the opening few minutes on youtube and had to suppress a giggle it was so poorly acted.

When I was about 8 or 9 a tramp showed me his cock.
That was quite traumatic.

My ma enjoyed the books of John Wyndham
Back in the eighties Day of the Triffids was serialised on the BBC.

Now it was on on the night that she would go to aerobics or some shit so she left the 6 year old me with pa on strict instructions that I was not to watch Day of the Triffids.

Pa ignored her instructions.

I was shit scared of plants for years later.
