[House of Usher]

Something Woolly said reminded me of this one. This used to scare the bejezus out of me when it regularly appeared in the end credits of Star Trek.

(from the episode titled The Corbomite Manoeuvre)http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/st/gallery/images/340/tosbalok.jpg">

the trek film with the ear bugs... somehow i thought they were related to earwigs when i was a kid and my fear transferred to earwigs.

i thought they were gonna sneak in my ear and send me crazy. ( but then a little girl being scared of bugs isn't that weird, i was also scared of trams and stickers)

Dr Who (Tom Baker) had some story involving fomay stuff coming out his ears too- it scared the living shit out of me, the episode ended with these weird seahorse looking aliens ..growing out of his ears ...or something?

well i was  about 5

and terrifed

[House of Usher]

Was that a dream, rather than an episode as such?

;-)

[johnnystress]

hmm, tom baker lying on a table with white shit coming out of his ears

ah yes, that old recurring dream

i think it means I'm insecure or something

[The Enigmatic Dr X]

All of them in "Galaxy of Terror".

Although a 10 year old me was allowed to see that I don't know.

Humans! When will they learn to live together?

The invisible enemy by the sounds

[auxlen]

From the supposed Chidrens book/series "Mysteries of the Unknown"?

That book was pure terror for me as a kid. hahahaha. I can't believe people know this photo...it must have made an impression on many people. I would love to see that photo again...have looked for it for years but no luck. I bet you if I saw it again though all that childhood trauma would come flooding back. Fake or not...still very scarey.

Off-topic, but what ex-fucking-lactly are tripod.com achieving by stopping people from looking at their hosted images, apart from being really irritating?

It's the internet, you scum - you're supposed to share.

[Artificial Idiot]

I remember the cover of a book I probably still have today, it had a really creepy ghost on the front... With a person being hung as it's pupils.

Needless to say - Scared the frag out of me. But then, pictures of ghosts always seemed to freak me out...

[Oddboy]

Not that creepy... who's to say it's not a person in the back, just because it said Ghost in the title...doesn't make it so!

[WoD]

alien 'foamy stuff' - that might explain the short period of fear I had with bubble bath when I was a kid!
