Mac tonight scared the hell out of me as a kid.. that is until i saw him at a parade and he fell face first, for a minute we couldn't tell whether or not the mask made a makeshift guillotine
Cannot wait for those future videos! There's something about that era of TV that is just the best. We had lots of weird and wonderful shows here in Australia that remind me very much of these.
I'm happy that there are people out there who would actually like to listen to me talk about swedish Santa Claus😅 Yeah, something about the production just felt way different from today. More atmospheric somehow.
I grew up in anglophone Canada, and part of our elementary school curriculum was to learn French as a second language. Our French teacher would sometimes get us to watch this TV show during class called "Téléfrançais" and the main character was this talking pineapple puppet (L'ananas). I remember it freaked all of us out lol We all found the show pretty funny and entertaining for the most part, but L'ananas was so unsettling to look at. If I had to describe him, he kinda looked like if a Furby was a burn victim 😅
And that's not even the creepiest part about Pettson, in my opinion. Those weird, sped up segments during the "lucköppning" creeps me out so much. That weird music that plays along with it... just really uncanny. Cool to hear someone talk about my favorite calendar.
I'm too young to remember that part and I can't find it anywhere! I need to find it now!😯 The music throughout the whole calendar has a kind of unhinged sound. I like it.
@@chriswingerTV Keep an eye out for when they put it back on svt play. But yeah, the music is very special, I like it too. Oh, and my favorite moment as a child: hyveltjuvarna. That's another creepy moment, because something is happening to the audio when the thieves are stealing the tools, making their voices sound really distorded and weird.
Thank you!😁 I was too old when I saw that the first time I think. There was something called Urban Legends on the internet long ago that someone made in flash. The episode about ghosts freaked me out the first time I saw it!
When I was a kid, I always loved horror. I’m not really sure what the reason was but I just did. I read a lot of horror kids books and I DID have a wild imagination when it came to that. Two things that scared the crap outta me. Night of the living dummy and the movie Monster House. I think I had a dream about it but my memory isn’t so good. Now if I were to watch that movie again I would! I had good memories of that despite being scared. 😅
I had Night of the living dummy on vhs back in the day! Maybe you're talking about the book though. The live action version ever really scared me but I watched over and over.
8:19 I think we had a short runtime of this calendar in Finland. If I had known it had such creepy undertones, I probably would have watched it. As a Halloween person myself, I've started to appreciate Christmas again as an adult, but most Christmas specials haven't fallen under my radar (yet).
Oh, really? Do you have your own tv calendars too each year in Finland?😊 There are a lot of good adaptations of A Christmas Carol if you ever feel like something spooky and Christmas related. The Muppets Christmas Carol is really great if you like gothic ghost stories.
@@chriswingerTV Yes! We have a few new ones but a classic calendar is "The joulukalenteri" (1997) It has music, and tonttuja (tomten?) and a bad creature that eats them. (antagonist) It's humor has captivated adults and children alike, and it's only done with three actors even though it has six character's.
Chris sorry to tell ya but if you had grown up around me as a kid and I know what scared you me and my friends would have scared the pee out of you for laughs. When I was 11 I grossed out my grandmothers boyfriend and made him vomit when he happened to glance at the horror movie I was watching called Blood Sucking Freaks. Everything that scared you growing up I saw as entertaining because the adults around me would tell me that's all it was.

Rip in peace Mac Tonight!😢
Loving your videos, especially the ones on horror and folklore. Here's hoping for many more videos in the future!
Thank you so much! 😊 New one is coming very soon!
peterson & findus was HUGE in germany too back in the day
That's awesome! I love the illustrations.
I fear our minds are aligned. This is just totally my style. wow!
Glad you found me! Got something similar to this coming up 😁

@chriswingerTV absolutely. Also not afraid to lean into the absurd amd dark. And practical effects are always the best.

I looked it up and he sure looks weird 🤣 I'd probably have nightmares about him if I watched this as a kid!

Yes! And the light from their flashlights is leaving little trails of light in the dark 😆
@@chriswingerTV Indeed! I like the vibe of your channel, looking forward to more videos.
Thanks! I'll keep 'em coming 😁
youtube recommended me a GOOD video?!?! Cool channel man keep it up!😎My biggest childhood fear was I feel fantastic. Did that scare you?
Thank you!😁

I still find Findus terrifying
I wanted to be Findus when I was a kid.
Moon Man will not devide us🙏
That's right!

Perhaps I should check it out! I'm a bit obsessed with tomten and stuff like that.
Ah, Joe Perra's youtuber cousin
I love him!🤣😊
joe pera
People keep saying 🤣
Katla från bröderna lejonhjärta och Mårran från mumin gav mig kalla kårar 😩
Just det mumin! Får göra en del två.
@@chriswingerTV Det tycket jag att du ska, jag har kollat igenom alla dina grejer redan och jag behöver mer 😄
Vad glad jag blir! Jobbar på det 😁

All you'd need is a bedsheet! Maybe a Santa mask.
He must have had a weak stomach! Never seen anyone throw up because of a movie 🤣
