Wanted to clarify I meant augmented 4th but also its called the tritone. I literally went to college for music so I am foolish
Did you ever see that one goosebumps with the kid and his fly collection? Fr scarred me as a kid. Love your content man.
Also if you think invader zim was creepy the guy that wrote invader zim made a comic called johnny the homicidal maniac you should check it out.

SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT REMEMBERS "THE ADVENTURES OF TIMMY THE TOOTH"
@@krscartwright4951 oooh why bother
Ooo the flatted 5th. Getcha banished from the church
I love how he's talking about a children's show spreading war propaganda to children and his bird is just nibbling on his hat, having the time of it's life-
tee hee
Birb be like: war? All I know is hat
*bionic pig* : this show is full of controversial propaganda to push onto children, so they subtlety subdue to the "correct" way of thinking
*his bird* : _blank face_ polly wants a cracker
@@argoniangamer8670 hat is war
@64BitMan On his shoulder while he's talking, at the last story is when I noticed it
My mom bought me watership down on VHS as a baby child because they rated it PG for the vhs. She walked in on me crying and she looks at the TV only to see rabbit getting choked to death. My mom quickly ejected the VHS and stuck it on a high shelf where I later watched it as a teen and was still traumatised.
Thanks Mom :))
In your mom's defense, Poltergeist was also rated PG. PG-13 hadn't been made into an actual category until July 1984. Anything made before then would just be G, PG, R, or X
they played the movie for little kids in school in early 80s. and people wonder why gen X is kinda messed up
@@aubreymorgan9763 My mother was Gen X, This was played for me around 2006-2009 when i was around 2-5, I don't remember initally seeing it, I just used to somehow get to the movie growing up and my mom would tell me to put it back and that it's a horribly scary movie
@@omgtatercat This VHS company was still distributing the movie around the early 2000's, and to this day they have not changed the rating online, it classifies it as a "family movie" according to google
WHY DID SHE KEEP IT??
I love how the man who made "Johnny the homicidal maniac", a gory violent comic series full of dark humor, made invader Zim, a nickelodeon show.
i’m super late but this reminds me of gerard way writing the umbrella academy and being on yogabagaba
@@bemmet444not to mention almost all of MCR’s music being super dark and depressing 😂
You know your a good writer when you can make stuff for both adults and children
Never gets old to me. Love how nick was like “hey, saw your murder comic, wanna make a kids show for us?” And then were surprised when the show was kind of dark
The thing that traumatized me was the scene in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, where Tirek drains a unicorn’s magic in an alleyway at night. That and the comic where Queen Chrysalis drains a village of smiling pink cats of their love, which upset me so much as an 8 year old that I sobbed and redrew a happy ending that I taped to the page instead. It was a library book….
that’s actually so sad and adorable to do 😭
As a kid and to this day The Dark Crystal was one of my favorite movies. I watched it over and over. There was one time where I wanted to watch it with my stepdad and he couldn’t find it, turns out the movie made him so uncomfortable he actually hid it to avoid watching it 😭
I can guarantee you came off as a badass kid XD Whenever a kid LOVES something that could make an adult shudder, you were hella epic and they just couldn't handle it!
@@candlelitpeppermintcarniva8509 I completely agree. I too adore this movie. 🫶
Named my kid after one of the characters!
The Skecksy’s, looking back now… they’re fricken terrifying. Wtf was wrong w our parents 🤣
@@candlelitpeppermintcarniva8509no one could handle your sigma interest 🥶🥶
That last one was definitely the most horrifying this I’ve ever heard. As someone with a young son I couldn’t imagine thinking that was funny? I took literally one pic of my babies first bath and wouldn’t even send it through text to anyone. I just wanted the memory
I’m so shocked. The face I made when he started going into the details…
I literally started sobbing, and at one point had to stop the video because I left I was going to vomit
It's been years since something affected me in my gut like this. I was so sick hearing that a person, let alone around 40, were into that
Never try to understand christians.
People in the 80s were insanely trusting. It's crazy how anyone would let their babies alone with a grown man.
Well, yes and no. Yeah, they were definitely way more trusting (most of it being holdovers being trusting raising kids since the '50s/'60s/'70s ), but it was also the first time that people were aware of kidnappers and creeps at least a little bit, as this was when they first started putting missing children posters on milk cartons.
@@Scarshadow666 i just find the contrast between today and back then so insane. Now people are extremely distrustful.
@@DaisyM
Definitely true when it comes to in-person interactions! Though imo, more kids nowadays are more likely to encounter strangers online than they used to in-person if their parents aren't keeping an eye on what they're browsing (though most people are probably also more cautious due to stranger-danger being taught a lot more heavily too).
I ain't letting a baby with anyone I don't know that well, man or woman. Women sexually abuse children too.
@@DaisyM ummmm… we have drag shows for kids now, i disagree and say that its worse now
That Joy Junction guy was slightly uncanny on the show and Satan incarnate in real life. Absolutely terrifying, and I wouldn’t want to know what he’d do if he saw a vulnerable child.
Not only doing unspeakable things to kids, but getting himself into the position of a religious figure, and using the higher level of trust people have for a spiritual leader as a means to that end. Literal demon behavior.
my guess is eat them.
Surprised that "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" wasn't mentioned alongside "Goosebumps". It was a similar situation, a popular children's horror show, and I know a fair few people have talked about being freaked out by some of the episodes. I was young enough at the time that my mom didn't want me watching it. By the time I was allowed, it was at the end of its run, so I only saw a couple episodes as a kid.
I just mentioned this the tale of the lonely ghost scared the shit out of me as a kid!
I have to confess that spirited away scared me when I was younger. Because when you're a child and you see people turn into pigs, that witch with her big face and no face eating people... it just sticks with you. Let alone the concept scared me, and still does. The thought of being in a world, I don't know nothing about with creatures so out of this world, completely alone (thank goodness Chihiro wasn't alone) seems horrifying. Chihiro is a legend for being able to not have a f*cking panic attack in this situation, even though she is a literal child, because I know for a fact that I would be absolutely mortified.
There was actually an episode of the teletubies that kid found so terrifying they had to pull It from air. It was called the lion and the bear. My mum told me when I was a baby teletubies was my favourite show and i would watch it on repeat all day. When the lion and the bear aired my mum had left me in front of the TV whilst she was doing the dishes and all she heard was this god awful high pitched scream coming from me and she thought I had injured myself and came running into the room only to see the lion and the bear on the screen and me screaming my little head off.
Oh dang.
what happened in the ep?
Was that the cutouts on wheels?
I was more terrified at the Magic House segment from Teletubbies. That thing peeking out the window terrified me as a kid.
@@stellaschmidt7677 you can see the episode on youtube
Ya know I just want to point out to all parents out there, if your kids are watching questionable content maybe sit down with them and make sure they understand what they're watching. What is real and what is fantasy. It almost always fails when parents try to overprotect or shelter kids from the real world. It's not a nice place so explain it to them. Kids left to their own minds imagination can be dangerous when they don't understand what they're observing. TALK TO YOUR CHILDREN!!!
I couldn't agree more! As a mom, I can't tell you how many times I've told him anything he watches is fake and just made to entertain no truth to them. Its definitely put in his mind that stuff he watches is not real whatsoever. But also keep an eye on what they watch helps tremendously.
but the world is also not a murder hole either full of bad people and fear mongering doesn't help. open dialog for topics.., don;t push narratives or agenda keep it age appropriate. avoid biases.
Yeah no when I have my own kids there are some hard and fast rules I’m applying. Whatever they watch, I watch with them at least for a couple episodes before I decide it’s ok to watch. If there’s anything questionable I find, I either turn it off or we talk about it. And push comes to shove, they watch some of the things I watch when I was their age.
@@bluejaywarrior2439 I'm at fault for letting my kids watch violent and scary movies, playing questionable video games and also watching shows like south park and family guy. However I've also explained to them what they are watching and playing. My kids all turned out fine. I see nothing wrong with letting kids view things as long as they're educated on what they are viewing
@@azadalamiq no shit?!? Well as much as I love to believe in the good of humanity my oldest was sexually abused by his best friends step dad for 2 years. This just came to light a few months ago. Even when you think you are doing your best to protect them in a healthy way sometimes it just isn't enough. Monsters fucking exist and I'm not pretending they don't. I also know good people exist so I don't play either side I just try to do my best as a parent
I doubt most people have heard of this one, but similar to “Joy Junction” is the “Life with Grandpa” puppet show made in the 80s by this horrible cult called The Family International. It’s based on their own comic book series about their elderly leader David Berg (who was called Grandpa by all the children) and his young stepson David (later Ricky Rodriguez), stepdaughter Techi and another child (Davida) and their parents all living in his household. It is the cringiest thing you’ll ever see and it gets heartbreaking and worse when you learn/realise it’s just a tame and tiny bit of how the three children were being raised in real life.
Ricky Rodriguez sounds…familiar.
@@twindrill2852 he’s different from richard rammeirez (if that’s what you’re thinking of) cause tbh i thought they were the same person lol, both of them were around at the same time though.
@@twindrill2852 Ricky was born in 1975 in Tenerife in the Canary Islands. Ricky Rodriguez was only his name as an adult, his birth name was David Moses Zerby. His biological father was a local hotel waiter named Carlos, but David Berg proclaimed himself as Ricky’s spiritual father although no official adoption ever took place. Ricky was nicknamed “Davidito” and raised to be the cult’s next leader, their next prophet and king in the End Times. His upbringing was the most disgusting thing you can imagine, and none of his caregivers had or have any shame over it. They even compiled a bunch of letters written by the main nanny Sara Kelley (Davida’s mother) into a book chronicling his infancy and toddler years and said book reached thousands of cultists with the intent of being used as a how-to book on raising children, no joke, before it was eventually ordered to be destroyed because of how incriminating the material was. Ricky ended up leaving the cult in 2001 after years of questioning the way he was raised and doubting the beliefs he was raised with and the purpose he was told he’d been born for. In 2005 he located one of his childhood nannies (Angela Smith, formerly Sue Kauten) and k***ed her, then he k***ed himself a few hours later. The day before, he had made an hour long video confession where he talks about his past and his plans for the next night, and he talks about how bad and responsible he feels for his sisters and friends and how enraged he is at his mother for allowing, facilitating and condoning everything they suffered. His mother Karen Zerby took over leadership in 1994 after David Berg passed and she’s still a free woman and living in hiding in unknown locations to this day.
The family international sounds familiar. I'm gonna do some research and come back.
@@kayden232ou Gotta warn ya, some things will make you laugh and some things will make you think wth and some things will make you absolutely disgusted, shocked and probably emotional too. You’ll probably already have learned this but they used to be called “Children of God” and Joaquin Phoenix and Rose McGowan were born into it.
Honestly I loved the Teletubbies as a kid and I get nostalgic watching it but because I’m older now I can definitely see why it creeps people out lol but i have a soft spot for it.
Ohmygosh! I'm not alone!! Thank you! I thought it was charming as a kid as well!
Watership Down WAS a children's movie. It was rated "U" for "Universal" at the time, meaning that it was deemed appropriate for all ages. I loved it as a kid, and it's remained one of my favourite animated movies ever since (I even have a Black Rabbit of Inle tattoo).
I feel like nobody talks about how terrifying 75% of the puppets from the 80s actually were! This is one of my only irrational phobias! 😆
I think being afraid of them is completely rational
nah they looked insane rational fear to me !
Chuck E Cheese back then was as scary as it got. the fact that there's a Gravity Falls episode pretty much about this makes my soul sparkle.
@@debberdoofun fact “chuckee cheese from the 80’s activates my soul crushing ptsd “😀
Do you remember the last unicorn? I watched this a lot as I was 10 or so. It was one of my favorite movies because of the dark mysterious look. But the scene with this harpy that killed the old witch is burned into my brain forever. But guess as a child I was already into dark shit. It was definetly not for children under 8.
same here, i remember watching it at around 10 also, but i don't remember being scared, then again there's a lot of stuff i don't remember from a few years ago : p
i kinda still like it, and i can def see why it might've been dark to some people. stuff back then was just so... different than it usually is now i guess
bro that movie was a fever dream
I was obsessed with that movie as a kid. Even though it was a bit scary.
Is it the movie with the unicorn that becomes a woman at the end or something? I used to watch it when i was around 8 but i didnt spoke a word of english and we only had it in english, so i wouldnt understand what they said but i liked unicorns, so when the unicorn became a girl it felt like a betrayal :'D
I still love that movie, the songs in it were so good aswell, walking man’s road is so chill
i recall somebody saying mr blobby wasn't actuallly meant as a kids character, he was a parody made for a different show and then everyone thought he was actually a kids character. like he was literally made to be horrific
Love how’s he’s telling all these traumatic shows, how scary it is and Shadow just chirping and singing in the background
I loved Teletubbies as a child and my father said he couldn't sit through the show with me because it was too creepy. I didn't understand until I was old enough to really see why it's creepy/unsettling. Good thing newer episodes are less creepy now.
Lots of groomers in the entertainment industry.
What best way to groom your targets than working very closely to them on daily basis. Plus, parents who think exposing their child for money and fame rarely have their children’s best interest in mind.
If theirs a job that requires you to be around children…even the smallest bit, there’s always a bunch of gross ass people who try to get that job just to harm them
Unfortunately yeah, and sadly not just the entertainment industry either... 0_0
Not to mention that there was a lot of stuff that were given passes for their time in the '80s/'90s/early '00s. Groomer wasn't yet a term that was common enough to describe creeps back then, it was only a layman term for dog groomers from what I can remember growing up as a kid since the '90s. I don't think I ever learned what else the term meant until the early 2010s...
I grew up on Watership Down (I was an animal nerd, always watching animal documentaries) I have NO IDEA how many people around me were in turn horribly traumatised by it. Wild. I promised I'm not a sociopath, just autistic.
If it makes you feel better, at least there's not as much gore as people will have you believe
The book isn’t even a kids book. It’s a grade 9 English book. Poli sci teachers use it! Good book tho. Just insanely traumatizing.
@@a-ghost-named-Anna The book originated from bedtime stories the author's kids asked him to tell them, though, so it's understandable that some people assume the book is for kids.
I know how you feel.
Water ship down, American tail, secret of nimh etc were all my favorite movies. Then my mom hit the motherload when she got us Labyrinth and Dark Crystal. My sister's and I are all nerdy geniuses bc of our wonderful mother 🥰
The Noo-Noo had a place in my nightmares for YEARS as a child. That thing is freaky, even as an adult. Its beady little eyes, the slurpy noises…ew.
lmao meanwhile as a kid I loved noonoo!!
There was one part of VeggieTales that rattled me as a kid. That show actually did a really good job of softening some of the more scary concepts in the bible, but the one part that still shook me was the fall of Jericho. Something about the ominous sound and those walls suddenly collapsing was really startling.
Was that the one with the slurpees?
I honestly don't feel like VeggieTales matches up to a lot of these other examples.
But I was scared for Larry when they threw him to the lions as Daniel!
I wasn't scared of the wall, but I WAS terrified of the Tickle-Master from Esther. The creepy hood and ominous music--and of course the concept of being tickled for eternity--scared me in an oddly existential way, even though I was a kid and actually adored the movie. (I still know the songs lol! Golden days of VeggieTales was so good)
That show, in my eyes, wasn't scary, but it was so forced upon me and my sissy growing up, that I can't stand to even see the characters now.
There was a show I loved when I was younger called grizzly tales for gruesome kids and I didnt really get scared or traumatised but the entire aesthetic of the show was just well... grizzly
of all the million possibilities of obscurity i could think of for this video, a literal 50 ppl group of cannibals from a kids show from the 80's wasn't even something i could possibly hesitate about. I literally had never seen any real case like this, cannibals seem so surreal, like, literally, i have no words
Watership Down was actually “for children” It was based on the stories the author (a ww2 vet?) told his children on car trip. He turned them into a book which was turned into the movie which was rated PG. The animation studio that made the movie also made Plague Dogs which I believe is explicitly not for children but has a similar vibe to watership.
I was a weird kid and I loved those creepy Jim Henson films like The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. Strangely the one that I was a bit scared of when I first watched it was A Muppet Christmas Carol, because of the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come (the one that looks like the grim reaper). I'm surprised I was more scared of that than of the Skeksis from Dark Crystal
i LOVE the labrynth but i honestly haven’t seen the dark crystal. i am glad tho that i watched the labrynth for the first time when i was already a preteen i think if i were younger when i first watched it i would’ve been traumatized by some of it 😂
Okay but the ghost of Christmas past in that Muppet movie was absolutely horrifying for no reason
What’s horrible is my dad remembers joy junction as a kid. He watched it non stop and remembered the host. When I told him what happened he was shocked
My family comes from puppeteers. I grew up helping my mom at shows backstage behind her.
Dark crystal is sooooo wonderful to us. As a kid I LOVED and still love it. Maybe it’s just how I grew up
that’s such an interesting career!
@@ashegrey3042 I agree!!
Why does no one mention the episode of Invader Zim when Zim uses a gift box to take out another kids eyes and replace them with robotic ones
Still creeps me out til this day
That bothered me a lot as a little kid and I had been obsessed with Invader Zim since day one lol
But even now I watch that and I want to cry for Keef lol
I didn't watch Invader Zim until like 2 years ago (biggest regret was waiting this long to watch it, it's so good) but I vividly remember Nicktoons airing that episode a *long* time ago when I would've been like 6 and it didn't scare me for some reason and I don't know why. Even know at the least it's unsettling like,
That's not even the worst it gets. They literally got a guy who was known for a comic called "Johnny the homicidal maniac" to make a kids' show. There's the stuff everyone knows about like that one and the organ stealing episode, but this is a nice little list of other fucked up things that happened:
Zim psychologically tortures people by showing them an apocalyptic future in order to sell candy to them
Zim uses time travel to repeatedly put Dib in harm's way through his whole childhood, eventually killing him
Gaz stalks and kills a kid
And that's just the stuff I can remember off the top of my head
I really want to see a Dark Crystal review because my mom loved that movie when it came out and still to this day. So she made me watch when I was a kid and I liked it. So we named our first pet Fizzgig. The name of Kira pet.
That's pretty cool. I like the Dark Crystal too. It's a dark but interesting movie (and the new series too)
Netflix made a series about it as well. I don't know if you've seen it but it is quite interesting to see what happened before the Skeksis started doing the awful stuff and what happens after
@@iris1568 I have seen the series to but I like the movie more but the show is good as well.
@@haylc7338 Okay. Good to hear you enjoyed both of them. I still need to watch the movie some day but I'm sure it is really good
@@haylc7338 I watched the movie as a kid aswell! My mum had shown it to us kids, absolutely loved it. Is the Netflix one worth the watch?
@@taylenepalmer9119 Yes. If u like the original.
I was really hoping lazy town was gonna be on here. I LOVED that show as a kid, but looking back, it unsettles me deeply.
I used to watch Crashbox literally all the goddamn time as a kid! All of the games were really fun to play, my little sister had decided to watch Crashbox a little bit more recently and I sat down and watched it for a little bit and the games were still entertaining to play. The revolting slob was actually my least favorite game because I hated looking at this character and might have actually traumatized me in ways that I didn't even realize. His games are still fun to play but just seeing him every other episode of Crashbox made me realize just how disgusting gross things were, even now I can barely function when things are gross around me. He also made me self-conscious about my own hygiene which I guess could be a good thing.
Same here, I love Crashbox but the Revolting Slob was a recurring character in my nightmares as a kid lmao
There's one scene in a very old cartoon called "The Animals of Farthing Wood" where a couple of hedgehogs try to cross a busy road and die, as do a few animals on their journey for a new home as far as I remember. The wife hedgehog curls up with fear in the road, the husband goes back and desperately tries to help her cross and they both end up dying together, I can't do the experience of trauma I remember feeling from that any justice. I saw that more than decades ago and it still invades my mind from time to time
Omg I'd forgotten about that until now
I watched that as a child UK TV doesn't shy away at showing children gore
I believe it was the opposite, the husband freezes on the road and the wife goes back to perish with him. But very traumatizing yes!
Music theorist here, a perfect fourth is not "the devil's interval". Perfect fourths are considered to be the 3rd strongest harmonic interval behind an octave and a 5th. The "devils interval" is a tritone which is an augmentation (raised by half step) a P4 or a diminution (lowering of a half step) of a P5. This was considered to be the devils interval because a tritone is the farthest interval away from a root voicing a note can be. Its insanely dissonent and rarely used in popular musi
Shakespeare used it in King Lear in Edmund’s introduction.
I was a bit older as a kid but, what terrified me was, The Secret of Kells, the north men going village to village killing everyone and everything and in the end breaking through the wall and killing every character you knew and loved offscreen was definitely terrifying lol. And also a series called Remy, it was depressing af.
movie was about the vikings pillaging a monastery during the conversion of paganism to Catholicism with the illumination of the bible. and protecting the book with the help of a pagan deity. which tbh was well done as it was open for interpretation and not pushing any biases either way. minus "pillaging is bad". good movie to show world is not black and white to kids.
Okay I usually don’t get scared by these ice bergs things, I like horror
But that last thing, holy shit. I have no words, I am actually traumatised.
same. but I definitely recommend checking out the Nick Crowley video on that one show - every time you think it can't get worse SURPRISE
This awakened something in me, I forgot that I was terrified of the ominous Teletubbies speaker as a little kid. It gave me the same ice-cold fear feeling that emergency weather broadcasts did
My parents did the "It's animated,It's definitely children's movie" mistake alot,I can remember I cried over The grave of fireflies so bad and I literally got depressed also I couldn't watch it until two month ago after over ten years,water ship down also traumatized me 4yo me watched that show TWICE(2nd time was because I couldn't remember It's that movie back that time)I literally covered my eyes the whole movie AND MY MOM LITERALLY ONCE TOLD ME LOOK TV IS SHOWING THE CUTE RABBITS THAT YOU LIKE
Everyone should watch grave of the fireflies to learn about the horror of the bombing BUT NOT AS A SMALL CHILD WHO WASNT WARNING DAMN 😩
Honestly surprised if they didn't end up showing you Happy Tree Friends with that mentality
@@PeppermintSpikes ?
@@ghostguru9156 I remember my mom WOULDNT let me watch it as a kid and I was so mad about it. I watched it a few years ago as a late teen and was thoroughly horrified. Good parenting on my moms part that shit would’ve traumatized me.
@@ghostguru9156 ….the movie “Graveyard of the Fireflies” isn’t meant to be funny. It’s depressing and horrifying. Especially the ending. As an older sibling I was truly horrified if my brother was in the little girls position and I was in the older brothers.
A show that traumatised me as a kid was the BBC rendition of "the tripods" and I genuinely mean traumatised. I am still traumatised by it today. It was a family show with the same target demographic as doctor who. My dad watched it when he was a kid and so he figured it would be fine to show me when I was a kid. Needless to say, it ruined my life. I haven't had a single week go by in the last 16 years where I don't have at least one nightmare about tripods. Every time I hear a robotic noise akin to that of a tripod I genuinely start having a panic attack. If I see large machinery that looks like a tripod I have to look at the ground until its out of view. They absolutely terrified me.
have you considered therapy? not trying to be rude, just sounds like a legit life-long problem at this point
Hope you’re able to find some way to cope and heal from this 💕
I'm sorry you're going through this. I highly reccomend seeing a dr to deal with this, it sounds like you have a phobia
I'm not a professional and this is just a thing that worked for me- have you tried rewatching it as an adult? My dad let me watch the movie Leprechaun when I was like 5. I had the exact same experience you've had with the nightmares and panic attacks. I had one recurring nightmare where he was hiding under the seat of a car, so anytime I was in the car I had to have a sweater or something stuffed underneath because I was terrified I would get grabbed. Anyways I was like 19 and tired of having to explain the towels tucked under the seats in my car so I decided I was going to watch the movie again and see if it was as scary as I remember. It was the dumbest movie I've ever seen lol the special effects were awful and it wasn't the least bit scary. I guess 5 year old me didnt know better. I basically dropped all of my Leprechaun based phobias after that. I still have the occasional nightmare about it, but I dream alot in general so it's not surprising and I don't wake up hyperventilating about it.
@@MsKJackson831 I've tried rewatching it last week actually as some sort of exposure therapy and I was doing fine until one scene where there was 6 tripods on the screen making their noises and I genuinely had a panic attack and my boyfriend had to calm me down lol
Funny about disturbing children’s media I watched most of the solid stuff as a kid but as I turned into a teen I ruined my childhood on a whim 💀
im so glad i watched this because I've always had a distinct memory of watching a crashbox episode early in the morning (at like 2am or so, I've always had sleeping problems ha ha) but i only watched it once and could NEVER remember what show it was or even what channel it was on. they must have shown crashbox reruns because this was sometime around 2012ish, but im super happy to finally know what the show is!!!
The reason why Invader Zim was dark was because the creator made comics before about a homicidal maniac and a few other characters. Basically they looked at his comic books filled with gore and were like “yup, let’s have him make a kid’s cartoon”
Mr.Meaty was the only one on this list that I couldn't watch a full episode of as a kid & even as an adult, the claymation is so unsettling.
Was it claymation?? Weren’t they puppets? Either way…yeah the style is super unsettling…
@@Arreis_004 Nope, it was definitely puppets.
Crash-box was genuinely good show low key bbut it was a little gross at times like the really messy guy who didnt really talk.
LOL I love the trash box but I don't think it was for toddlers I think it was more geared towards middle schoolers because they had riddles math problems that were more towards 6th 7th and 8th grade math work word problems things that you would see in Middle School. Hence the reason why they use words like decimating because those are words that are taught in Middle School.
That Slob guy ! This man grossed me out and disturbed me all at the same time as a child.
@@Thewritingelf yes very true but I had got great joy and seeing him get decimated every time and it also made me want to get up and clean my room every time I seen that show so whatever their reasoning behind this love was work I remember the words that they taught me and I also remember I myself do not want to be a slob
As a childhood fan of Thomas the Tank Engine, I dislike how people say how terrible it is because of things like an engine being abandoned in a tunnel after it was bricked up. If you actually watch the show, the engine was let out in the next episode. It wasn’t a permanent punishment. I also dislike how people say the trains are slaves. THEY’RE STEAM LOCOMOTIVES!!! They can’t move or do anything else without their driver and fireman, and their main desire is to work because if they don’t work they don’t feel useful. Ok, now that my rant is over I’ll talk about my main idea for this comment.
I do agree that Thomas had pretty dark moments but that’s what makes it appealing as it’s more mature than most kids shows in my opinion. I do want to say however you covered the more tame stuff in the show. The engine being locked in a shed which gets buried by land overtime is pretty dark yes, but if you want some real dark or scary stuff coming from Thomas the Tank Engine, watch Season 5. Some of the episodes in that season have pretty haunting and scary atmospheres for a kid’s show.
Just the idea that the engines are filled with fear of not being useful anymore is terrifying…they are so scared of being scrapped that they’ll do anything. They get threatened with a slow and painful death, also being shown examples of steam engines that aren’t useful anymore and are basically spare parts or non existent anymore.
It’s the same as someone at a job going "if you stop being useful then I’ll kill you”…it’s a very dark concept. It’s a good show and a good book series too…but has a lot of dark moments.
What about TATMR
@@Drockthe3rd I haven’t watched that movie in years so I barely remember anything from it.
I always liked the jukebox scenes.
Yeah, as someone that grew up watching that show in my toddler and early childhood years, some of the darker stuff definitely flew over my head as a kid (though that might have been because I was way too young and not that bright at the time). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
so glad you mentioned crash box. that show changed my brain in so many ways and I've never met a person who's watched it
Now you have haha
You mentioning Zaboomafu brought back so many memories for me! Even though I was born in ‘01, I was a PBS Kids watcher growing up.
Ratafak is the exact reaction I would’ve given when seeing that thing.
No one:
Ratafak: Long necked puppet
Me: WATAFAK
Mr Blobby is a national treasure of a chaos demon. I loved his show as a kid and went to Blobbyland, a park designed after him and the pattern of his 'flesh'. It was a fun show from what I remember, I never saw the one it was a spin-off from. I think most of the more terrifying British shows were in the 70's and 80's, before my time. Blobby and Teletubbies never scared me though I had to suffer the latter alot because of my younger siblings.
Goosebumps scared me alot back then, the one where the whole town was dead gave me nightmares for years, as did the mask one with the float masks that looked like grotesque severed heads chasing the kids. I still watched it but I've never been a horror fan, it was more for the fantastical elements I guess. I haven't revisited it to see if I still find it scary at all.
The Tweenies was another terrifying one my siblings watched. A bunch of adults in multi-coloured costumes designed to look and act like human children but still adult sized.
Horrifying stuff for children still gets made to this day.
As a kid I was utterly terrified by that one Simpsons episode where Mr. Burns was mistaken to be an alien… his looks, the music, pure nightmare fuel!
Also Mars Attacks by Tim Burton still haunts me to this day.
The one that got me was that wierd fever dream of an episode where homer gets like removed from reality or something into the matrix of the universe and a black hole appears and proceeds to just absorb everything in its path, it was so chilling to me as a child and I feel uncomfortable watching it now 😀 👍
Mars attacks is my favorite movie!
@@joe.nolonger.exotic3939 omg yes
The martian’s faces freaked me out as a kid but my dad loved the movie. when I got older and rewatched it I wound up loving it too, it’s really a goofy funny movie when you understand more about it
That one always spooked me. Reminded me of the famous painting "The Scream" which also fucked me up as a kid.
Nexpo covered the Joy Junction before in The Darkest Lost Media Vol. 1 and his investigation are so deep and yet disturbing
Imagine walking past a dump and just seeing Ratafak Plachta staring at you in a pile of trash
You know it's gonna be a good day when this guy posts a video, and it's an iceberg one at that

Of course.
I’m surprised no one is talking about ferngully or the labyrinth.
Those movies kinda traumatized me as a small child.
There was a scene in ferngully with this weird black goop monster, he sings a song called Toxic love or something and I come back to it sometimes for the traumatizing memories.
The labyrinth was traumatizing for obvious reasons, puppets, characters, scenes, etc.
I actually have no clue what you mean, The Labyrinth isn't scary, nor is Ferngully, but Ferngully is a little bit more understandable though. 🤣
They were absolutely amazing movies. I still watch both of them for comfort! (Labyrinth was my Ma's favourite movie). Ludo was my favourite character. 😍
@@taylenepalmer9119 I was just saying they scared me but they are great movies over all!
@@atticus_rambles Ahahah, no judgement! My partner was afraid of ET as a kid. 🤣🤣
The Fiery muppets from Labyrinth were a bit creepy to me as a kid, as was the scene where Toby gets kidnapped.
When Hexis was introduced in Fern Gully I had to hide under our dining room table until “Toxic Love” was over lol.
They’re both still some of my favorite films. In fact, I love Labyrinth so much that I have a Labyrinth themed half sleeve tattoo.
I was terrified my newborn baby sister was going to be taken to the Goblin King after watching Labyrinth.
I remember I was banned from watching invader zim after the episode of him ripping his “friends” eyes out. But then my mom and I loved the show too much so that ban lasted .00002 seconds lol. My cousin also made me this painting for the Tellitubbies as a child and it really captured the horror of tellitubbies. I lowkey wish I still had it cause it was wonderful
I’m baffled that “are you afraid of the dark?” Wasn’t here, that scared the shit outta me when I was little 💀
Mr. Rogers neighborhood. The puppet with the red cheeks and red nose TERRIFIED me as a child.
''This would even be an insult to furries.''
That's a point you just don't wanna reach.
Bro Imma be real, The Secret of Nimh scene that scared me as a child is definitely the lab rat scenes. Those creeped me the fuck out.
I dont know why but icebergs are always interesting to me because it's so scary AF and there is not just one but multiple icebergs! Plus I have never seen any of these things when I was a kid. So it's kinda disturbing to watch but it's SO INTERESTING!!!!
So glad I'm not the only one who was horrified by the great owl in Nimh. I honestly got an anxious feeling just seeing that image on the screen, even though I only saw the movie once at like age 5. Funny how I actually remembered the owl as a ooze-dripping, green-eyed wizard. Sheesh that fear I had was powerful. I still hate thinking about that movie and refuse to watch it. So glad that was the creepiest thing my parents let me watch. Watership Down would have scarred me for life.
Mr Noseybonk is, as far as I know, the closest we ever got to a live action trollface
Lmao I can't unsee it know omg 🤣😂😂😂🤣😂🤣
I feel like a lot of people sleep on R.L. Stines the Haunting Hour, that show fucked me UP
Sausage Party is one of those movies that wasn’t for kids, but people thought it was. It was about sentient food who revolt because they don’t want to be eaten and it had some pretty disturbing scenes. Many people took their kids to see this movie because it was in the style of a Pixar movie. I remember seeing the ads on RUclips when it came out (I was in 3rd grade at the time) and just being traumatized by that alone. Would recommend checking it out for a future video like this
You were in third grade ? I was in middle school ohh my god I’m so old 😭😭 If You don’t mind me asking how old are you? I actually went and saw the movie with a group of friends and one of the girls brought their mom and little sister 🤦🏻♀️ohhh my God the awkwardness after it was unbearable especially the food orgy scene at the end
@@PurplePeepsPrincess I’m 15, so you can be that old :)
I didn't know anyone that mistook it for a children's film! It had an age rating of 15 over here, so anyone buying a ticket for a child and taking them into the cinema screen would have been stopped and questioned
was that not rated R??
@@idonthaveaname868as a 22 year old, comments like this always throw me off
Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids was the bane of my existence as a kid. Thought I was gonna die if I accdientally swallowed a watermelon seed or something 💀
I mean I did hear of a guy who swallowed a pea wrong and a pea plant grew in his lung...he had to get that lung taken out after it collapsed.
Pausing and reading some of those cannibalistic pedophile chats has lead me to realize that will Never. Ever. leave my kids with ANYONE but my spouse or my mother. The fear is quaking me rn.
When I was a little kid I was scared of Electric Company, it was a silly educational show. The lend me your hand, skit, a lady hands a guy his hand. When he asked “ lend me your hand?” I ran and hide.
I remember watching dark crystal for the first time and I was kinda freaked out when I saw the draining scene, but I also remember thinking it was cool that they made all with puppets
Dark Crystal is traumatizing but it’s also a fantastically well made film. Puppetry is not easy and just about everything regarding the puppetry is so well done.
This was my favorite movie as a kid, I watched it several times. But I stopped watching it after that dining scene while eating my lunch
@@jetblackwings3665 did you ever watch the never ending story? The original was fantastic the sequels were ok but not as good as the originals
@@Bonnie-lo3zh you should finish watching it, it's really good
@@homelessmilk8462 I actually haven't, just dark crystal 😂
A lighthearted one for you all, I was deathly terrified of the map from Dora for no absolute reason at all. My mom told me I would run and hide once the map popped up on screen 😭
I swear man kids are scared of the weirdest things 😭😭😭😭😭
Someone looked at Jay Jay the Jet plane and really said "This is peak character design."
Yes Return of the Slab still scares me as an adult
I saw Crashbox when I was a kid and the Revolting Slob was one of my biggest fears for a while. Scared me so much I suppressed the memory of Crashbox for years, only remembering the way the slob looked and the fact he exploded and the way he talked was just… scary to me lol I thought this show was a fever Dream. Anybody else watch Crashbox? I’m from Arizona, USA.
Yep. It was weird. This was something someone could sweep under the rug easily. It was on HBO Max.
If you find Ratafak Plachta terrifying go check out rest of the old Czech/Slovakia tv shows for kids (especially from 80s - 90s), we've been watching stuff like this on daily basis, now we are chronically depressed gays with anxiety
Ratafak origin is actually more nicer than people think, if I remeber correctly from a youtuber, during the 1940s when Germany was invading, ratafak was made to help kids rebel against the Nazis during their reign of terror and help calm them down
@@michaelcampos6451That is vastly inaccurate though I would like to know the source.
He was actually made for a series called Slinéko, a Czech (don't know how how to spell the full name of the country) children's show used to teach kids not to blindly trust the government, politicians, and the elderly. It was an anti Soviet Union show from when the Czech Republic was apart of it
I didn’t realize I needed this video but thank you 🙏🏽
Edit:
- Tiny Planet(s) with those white monsters I thought was a fever dream I had as a kid!! I never knew the name of it or when I watched but it was a memory I would randomly have 🫠
The movie Iron Giant traumatized me bc my parents told me not to watch it until the next day but i was impatient, so i snuck the VCR tape into my room at night and it was spooky to me so i hid under my plastic kid’s art desk to watch it. The part where the robots eyes suddenly light up and he comes back to life scared me so bad that i jumped, and when i jumped i hit my head really hard on the desk and my two front teeth fell out 😭 i ran to my parents room crying with blood running down my face and scared the hell out of them LMAO
Poor you 😂
The Teletubbies lore makes it even more terrifying. The trumpets? Who controls them? They listen to the trumpets.
The last part of this genuinely makes me feel faint and sick to my stomach. I feel like I’m 2 seconds from a panic attack because if it.
Dark crystal is incredible it’s a better horror movie then anything else the puppets are insane
Yeah, I'm still scared of The Haunted Mask. It didn't help that Goosebump aired all the time back in the day. ABC family and Cartoon Network just loved this show. I was too young for Goosebumps.. I watched it too early.
It was the first and last episode I ever watched of goosebumps and it was the only book I owned out of all of them I just couldn't get the haunted mask out of my head as a kid
@@joe.nolonger.exotic3939 I am not having any thing of that mask in my house. Including the book or video tape. It got ranked as the scariest epsiode for a reason.
The british already knew the benefits of pre-traumatizing to cope with the average uk experience.
When I was younger we used to watch the Hans Christian Andersen version of the little mermaid. I believe it was animated. Gave my nightmares for years.
The thing about Thomas was it's based on The Railway Series written by the late Rev Awdry to tell his son when he was sick as a kid. Later on, Christopher (Rev Awdry's aforementioned son) continued his father's work until about 2010 I believe
Are You Afraid of the Dark was much scarier than Goosebumps imo.
Also, Skeksis still scare me
Edit: the secret of Nimh was my favourite movie as a young child; I'm talking like 4-5. I would watch it endlessly, much to the concern of my mother.
Seeing him fail to pronounce Ratafak Plachta was painful as a slav 🤦♂
I can't believe Morso wasn't on this iceberg. By far the most disturbing puppet I've ever seen by a HUGE margin.
Don’t forget the antagonist in Psalty! Risky the Rat!
I don't know if you've heard of this one as it was a UK children's show, but Grizzly tales for grousome kids use to give me nightmares. There was one tale about a girl who use to always play pranks. One day she was having a bath and it filled with REAL paranahs which ate her alive. Her family found her remains in the tub and thought it was another one of her pranks so threw her LITERAL SKELETON into the bin.
That made me scared to have a bath for months after that scene
Omg I was traumatised by that show as well, the episode that traumatised me was one where there was these pigs in a farm and the other pigs always ate the food before them so these pigs escaped from the farm and went to the city, they snuck in to a house and ATE A CHILD ALIVE. This was because the kid was rude I think. this caused me to always try to be polite to everyone I meet. I still slightly do it to this day.
When Pig posts, you know it's gonna be an hour well spent
"P-Salty" as you pronounce it is probably just pronounced Salty. A reference to the book of psalms where the p is silent.
'Watership Down' never bothered me as a kid, but that's because I watched 'The Animals of Farthing Wood' as a young child, and that was just as disturbing, except it actually WAS meant for kids, and aired in the UK in the morning, on CBBC (the child's version of the BBC). The scene where the hedgehog couple got ran over by a car was the only scene that actually traumatised me a little as a kid, even though it was quite tame compared to some of the other tragedies in the series.
“If you’re like a 3 month old baby and you don’t really understand the complexities of our corrupt government, you obviously would think this is great” 🤣🤣
Speaking of the magic school bus: ironically there was an episode (I think it was even a Halloween themed one, or a special. I dont recall.) That was about sound and sound waves. I know it was definitely supposed to be "spooky" but it unintentionally gave me nightmares for months
I can’t believe you didn’t mention Fern Gully. The scene where the machines are destroying the forest, tar and oil and fire engulfing everything, is forever cemented in my head.
oh my god the tar man was so scary. am I just imagining him or was there actually a tar man??
@@coffeeman_1411 yes!!! His name was Hexxus. Terrified me as a kid.
@@mattuwu9978 ohhhh okay!! thank you :DD
Fern Gully gave me some serious trauma. My mom never understood why but I could never get through the movie.
Along with goosebumps I found the haunting hour even more terrifying. I no joke slept with my parents/mom for 3 years because the first episode made me scared of my American Girl dolls. And the mascot one in the basement of the school 😭
Maybe I’m weird but I remember being terrified of Doodle Bob when I was a kid and I don’t know why, also any episode of Power Puff Girls that involves Him and his bad drug trip powers of doom
Brooo, the nostalgia here is GREAT. I miss Zim and Mr Meaty. I loved the weird ass shows that mom never let me watch, yet I would get to get away with it at Grans or a friends house. Even if most of it kinda made me uncomfortable but still
35:15
Alot of children at that time mostly saw their family members die in front of them, alot of the resistance soliders from there are all mostly civilians who worked in multiple jobs and then joined the army to protect and revenge their people.
Its kinda understandable to see this when you see the opposite side even eliminating civilians in the other side of the country that doesn't have a army
Showing these things to Children And Toddler Isn't OK... War is tough I Served in Civil war my self But Children Doesn't have to suffer this
Encouraging them to Fight back though is a Good thing ... To not Surrender to Enemy, to have Dignity and stand for them selves
At the same Time the Media on the other side Showing Muslims as terrorists that everyone should Avoid and distrust them but then they Complain when Muslims Media wants to fight back ?
Like what they expect them to sit down and Take it ?
