This is a question Phobias

What gives you the heebie-jeebies?

It's a bit strong to call this a phobia, but for me it's the thought of biting into a dry flannel. I've no idea why I'd ever want to or even get the opportunity to do so, seeing as I don't own one, but it makes my teeth hurt to think about it. *ewww*

Tell us what innocent things make you go pale, wobbly and send shivers down your spine.

BBC2
I guess each generation has their own scary TV thing, like testcard girl and the puppet. As a 90's child, a lot of things on BBC Two used to scare me and infact some still do now.

Remember those old idents? The green ones, circa 1990 odd? Those used to scare the pants off me, especially if I was watching something on my own.
I used to hate the powder one where the 2 comes crashing down onto the floor, scattering a green powder everywhere.
The fire one was the worst of them all. Imagine me at 7 years old watching a VHS of the BBC Learning Zone for some of the kids activities (don't ask), and that comes on. It's like some terrorist has taken over one of Britain's most prized institutions and then burnt it.

Oh and then there's the Ceefax pages they bring up as a 'programme' but you have no control over which page they choose, and the weird elevator-style music keeps blaring out. Perhaps I am a control freak? That's probably true.

Anyway, I'm sure a my peers would agree with me on the idents.

Oh and *popped* my posting cherry! Hurrah!

The badguy painting
in Ghostbusters. You know when he gets angry or when he dies. Really freaked me out.

And as has already been mentioned when the baddy in Who Framed Roger Rabbit gets run over and his eyes pop out. Thats real bad too.
