Arthur C Clarke’s Mysterious World was a terrifying show. One of those creepy theme tunes that put a chill down your spine. I’ll never forget a charred leg with a ladies high heel on as proof of spontaneous combustion. Looking back and remembering the tropes of the time, it was probably a chip pan fire. 😂
Under your James Whale video I commented how traumatising the Usborne Book Of Ghosts was when I was a child, and in particular the photo of that hard as nails looking ghost in the church. Well, the photo in this video of 'that ghostly old man in the back of a car' at 11:13 was also in that book, and maybe used to shit me up even more than that hard as nails looking ghost in the church. Absolutely terrified me to death that photo, especially any time I had to go on a car journey somewhere. Not only that, in this video you also used a photo of 'the ghost of Raynham Hall' which was also in that book. And if my traumatised memory serves me right, the photos of the hard as nails looking ghost in the church, that ghostly old man in the back of the car, and the ghost of Raynham Hall were not only all in the Usborne Book Of Ghosts, but actually all on the same ruddy bloody PAGE. Which would therefore make it the scariest page in any ghost book ever.
Seconded. As a very haunted child this was probably a very unwise book to have in my possession. Years later i was talking to a mate in my bedroom about the horrors (diabetic related hallucinations) i suffered in years gone by. I had a couple of stones with carved goblin faces on the bookshelf. As i told him about this book as being the possible source of the visions, one of these stone faces flew across the room. Some 35 years later it feels like this was a false memory, but my friend confirmed it happened. Christ.
@@yogbarog100 That's heavy stuff. I'm with you when you say it was an unwise book to have - haunted child or not. I know my original comment above was written somewhat flippantly and a little in jest, but there is definitely truth to it, which I'm not ashamed to admit now many years later. For the age group it was aimed at, it was a genuinely pretty full on book. I had a friend the same age who had it too, and the book freaked him out as well. Like, properly freaked him out. Me too - as I said in my comment under Stuart's James Whale video, my parents had to hide it from me as it was giving me night terrors. Not just the photos, but some of the stories were pretty dark too, and the general vibe of the book and how it was written was that ghosts really DO exist. Something about the illustrations were a bit unsettling too. It seems strange to say this about what was essentially a kids book but the whole atmosphere of the book, it was just......odd. There's a brief flick through of the book here, I've not seen that book for probably 30 odd years - every page really brings it back: ruclips.net/video/7kZfQpfPh9g/видео.html
@@theflyintheointment the keening mewls past midnight gone, the grasping figure where no light shone. Betwixt reality and hell, you find a scared little boy frantically disposing of this book, page by page, into the family hearth, only to discover, in the morning, the book fully restored, pages gaping wide at the ghostly priest or diagram of how to do your own ghost hunt. Awful ✖️
Absolutely love that book. I didn't own it as a child but it was basically permanently booked out by me but I got lucky, I happened to be walking past a charity shop and it was in the window, the exact copy that I had from the library. First editions are quite pricey now but I bought it for the memories.
@Ladykat1808 Mum used to give myself and my brother and sis rows for watching. As it was for special needs, she said. Deaf kids, I liked watching it. But mixed when Cuthbert, but now I get the exaggerated movements, expressions etc. Cuthbert Lilly nightmare fuel. Though I did love Smarty Arty. But generally, the whole programme had an odd feel. Even as a kid, I thought.
A relative gave me an entire tin full of those Brooke Bond cards and they scared the fuck out of me. I think they were "mislaid" by my mum for my supposed own good, but I'd like to have had them still now.

Or World Of strange powers
OR 'Mysterious Universe'; the third series from 1994 I recently found out about.

“Sorry, where are these UFOs found usually?”
That was as funny as the time you used hot soup and a funnel.

The best channel on RUclips. Still waiting for Bulls Eye tho. So much material 😂
During a time where i am struggling with a few things it's been amazing viewing and thought material to rebalance how i am feeling at times
I half-remember an apisode of Sooty where Soo announced she was going to have a baby. IIRC, she didn't know if Sooty or Sweep was the father.
We need to remember Sooty is the Necromancer.
I love your channel - we defo grew up watching the same shiz - 😂
It might be almost a month late for Halloween but look at it this way, it's well in time for NEXT Halloween!
I never understood why people on Beadles About signed the release forms. Maybe there's a cupboard of unreleased pranks somewhere.
Art attack is an inspiration... omg... I hoard so much junk to make dumb 'art' things out of because of THIS MAN 😂❤🎉
That prayer battey group would make a good Dr Who story.
It's to stop aliens running up your trouser leg!
Odd that the president of the Dracula Society doesn't seem to know the reason Stoker was frustrated was because he seems to have been gay
Tbf Art Attack didn't need a Halloween special. The Head alone was enough to make me hide behind the sofa in fear.
Ah, George Hamilton. He appeared on two episodes of Columbo. Both times as the murderer. He's around 88 years old now.
I hope you don't write Wikipedia pages
Was that Etherean chant the basis for Richie's "rain dance" in the Bottom episode S'up? Because it sounded almost identical.
The Sooty Show was mint
7:42 - Why is Matt Barry putting on an American accent?
Fucking knew Noel Edmunds was an alien and 14:20 are they singing "bum , fanny and cunt"????😂
27:49
Genuinely, not a bad H. G. Wells impression.
Why are they chanting "fatty fatty bum bum" while charging the prayer battery? It was ok in the 70s I suppose.
6:47 computer says no
You need to cover ZZZaap
I was terrified of cuthbert lilly!

George is also in an episode of Birds of a Feather, who’d have thought it? The only horror is Laurence Marks and Maurice Grans scriptwriting 😮
A relative gave me an entire tin full of those Brooke Bond cards and they scared the fuck out of me. I think they were "mislaid" by my mum for my supposed own good, but I'd like to have had them still now.
My Grandparents had them, two that i still remember is the faked photo of a girl with fairys dancing around her and of course bigfoot
@1:38 is that Kevin Spacey?
It be big, it be black and it be furry and oi be afraid of it...
I cancelled my UFO weekly magazine back in 1982! I've never looked back as I saved £10000 by not buying that wank stain magazine!
None of this can be real.
