Halloween Grab Bag: Creepy Moments from the Past!

[@DarkAngel459]

'Fraggle Rock' was one of my favourite shows when I was young. In fact, I still own the Red and Mokey 'stuffed toys!'

[@googamp32]

Thanks for helping me discover "The Song of the Cloud Forest".

[@FilmmakeroftheFuture]

I’ve seen it on Prime myself.

[@TheEmeraldWeirdo]

I knew about it from an old episode of the Jim Henson Hour we recorded on VHS, but I never actually saw it myself. All this time, I figured it was something that got cancelled before it aired, because nobody ever talks about it.

[@PrincessPeachyyyy]

I actually remember fragile Rock scaring me once, it was the episode “Terrible tunnels” my nana had it on VHS and when I would dare myself to watch it it would freeze right in the middle of the song about the tunnels that the storyteller was singing to the other fraggles

[@jennyAsta]

I couldn't help being amused by how much the "Welcome to My Nightmare" skating sequence resembled an actual 1970s-era Alice Cooper stage show.

Nice video, can't wait to see your Disney Villains Retrospective on The Little Mermaid.

Would love to see you review Nightmare Ned, a Disney PC game that later got a short lived animated series.

I remember the commercials for the game not scaring me even though I was fairly young but i could understand why people would find it scary

I only just found out about this recently, but October 20, as the anniversary of the filming of the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film, is National Sasquatch Awareness Day. Mark your calendars!

[@abstractgrant]

The "Upright" puppets from Song of the Cloud Forest scared the hell out of me as a kid too! Now I adore them. They were made by a Muppet builder named Jitka Exler, and they're very much of a piece with another group of characters she worked on called "The Primitives."

[@princesspixel3151]

Mickey’s Nightmare version of the Disney Channel Bumper looks almost like a parody of one of my formerly unspoken childhood fears, scary logos. Those were so uncanny, and often loud, it makes me glare at any logos for the internal trauma they inadvertently developed!

[@lainiwakura1776]

I'm glad ice skating shows like the Flintstones don't use creepy masks anymore if the character doesn't need it, they'll just put the skater in a wig and makeup now. I saw a Disney on Ice show when I was a kid and only characters like Mickey and Minnie wore full body suits. I can't think of anything scaring me as a kid but I remember loving the Tower of Terror movie and Erie, Indiana was one of my favorite shows. I remember the dead lady from the Grudge scaring the crap outta me when I was a teenager.

[@TylerRakstis]

Fitting since one of the clips of Bozo you've shown, had the original voice for Goofy, Pluto, and Practical Pig, Pinto Colvig, once played the clown himself.

[@sammyt7981]

I can’t wait to see more Halloween related materials coming out

[@cosmicXtropics]

Love the Gremlins 2 NES music for the credits!

[@aidanhever3369]

I remember those kind of bumpers where they show Mickey's hands, but thankfully I never saw the one with the nightmarish gloves in the gallery.

[@kelleyceccato7025]

Wembley's game of "Hidey Ho" with the Terrible Tunnel will never NOT unnerve me.

[@brianlevine871]

I remember seeing that "Fraggle Rock" episode with the secret society on VHS as a kid. And speaking of something spooky, it came with the episode where the main fraggles explored the Gorgs' castle on a stormy night and they teamed up with Junior Gorg to stop a cloaked intruder (which was actually Junior's dad checking on his son guarding their house and crown jewel). I even remember once having a dream as a kid based on that episode, if only for the cloaked figure.

[@maldon3659]

The scariest episode of Fraggle Rock for me was Boober and The Glob, where a mysterious Glob rolls around eating Doozers, the scary part is that we have no idea where the Glob came from and we see the inside of it's stomach

[@eliblanks9388]

You know colin you did a great job with your barney impression and i hope that you can finish your disney villain retrospective on the many villains of the little mermaid franchise

[@mightyfilm]

Really odd things scared me when I was a kid. I hated bugs, but mostly grew out of that. I HATED large plastic/rubber bugs, spiders especially. There's something grotesque about a tiny little insects delicate features distorted and blown up, and made abstract. I was always afraid that dollar stores would have giant spider "toys," as they were somehow a staple.

[@MagpieScholar83]

Nice use of the Phantasm theme.

[@jpd632]

Great video. Can’t wait for a new Christmas Carol video coming up! Thanks!

[@Dangerzone334ArchiveOfficial]

I thought I had Real Scary Stories locked in my memory and now it's been unlocked

[@cartoonoholic]

Great video, Colin. Very cool grab bag. 😎👍 I don't find clowns scary, but don't blame you for finding that old Bozo pilot creepy, I've seen a Mcdonald's commercial from the 50's and the kid is like "I shouldn't talk to strangers" and Ronald Mcdonald using his magic to make Mcdonalds appear, and the kid is like "wow, you really are Ronald Mcdonald". It really was a different time, some programs from that era screams stranger danger. I love Fraggle Rock, I remember the opening when Junior grabs Gobo creeped me out when I was little, just being grabbed by a big hairy giant. When I saw Gobo running towards the camera, I knew the gorgs were coming up... I also prefer to have Fraggle Rock to have their creepy moments and not always be safe. And thank you for recommending The Song of The Cloud Forest. I watched it last night for the first time. I've seen Monster Maker, but I really need to watch the Jim Henson Hour and The Storyteller. Love Jim's work. Looking forward to more. Keep up the good work.

[@sammyt7981]

And I especially can’t wait for you to talk about some more Halloween related things

[@PrincessPeachyyyy]

Yay! I’m early! Great video as always Colin, did you take inspiration from There will be Fudds spooky cartoon video that also just came out?

[@DarkAngel459]

I'm in the UK and, to be honest, I hadn't heard of 'Bozo The Clown' before now, and certainly have never seen an episode of 'Bozo's Circus.' I'm very glad that I haven't because it looks absolutely terrifying!

[@eaglejones856]

Interesting video I have to say on the topic of fears from our childhood and that’s a little difficult for me. Sure, I was scared of things that look weird. But we all are who isn’t I have to think about what really scared me when I was younger definitely some of the Disney dark rides. Those did frighten me mainly Mr. toad Roger rabbit and Snow White from what my mom has told me she recounted event when me and my younger sister went on and when we came out, me and my sister were tearing up. I also remember being really unesay about a KCET character known as captain infinity I guess it was because of the crude CGI that I used to fear the character voice they had and the fact that sometimes they would appear close to the screen I really felt uneasy with that yeah. And what else? Oh yeah, I do remember having a lot of strange nightmares about certain shows I have watched during the day and then just appearing different looking back at them. I don’t think I would be that scared anymore of those the nightmares I had were something.

[@behindthescenesphotos5133]

I remember the TV movie where Heather Lagenkamp played Nancy Kerrigan, it would have been something to see Nancy Kerrigan play Nancy Thompson

[@ColinLooksBack]

I had no idea about that! The Freddy connection deepens!

[@snakycarnival9119]

I remember Real Scary Stories. I ended up getting a book from the library that I thought was based on the show. It kinda looked like a journal and had a really cool sleeve with a bunch of tape and fake documents printed on it. Talked about some amatuer ghost hunting buddies tracking something down and finding an old victorian house in the middle of the woods. There was one page where they saw a shadow in the house that moved. That was the terrifying part to lil kid me. Not being attacked by a monster, as a kid I thought I'd be fine with facing a serial killer of a ghost. But something in a seemingly abandoned house scared me. Good memories.

[@otaking3582]

They have a character named Nancy getting a nightmare about the undead. Ya know, at least when this happened in Friday the 13th: Part VI, it was just a coincidence because the director wanted a character named after his wife. But here, I'm surprised they used the Halloween theme and not the Elm Street theme.

[@everettparker1313]

[@Rubixcat-64]

[@Tadicuslegion78]

The one that got me from Disney was Disney's Halloween treat (which turns out there's different versions) and I wanna say the one that would rerun on Disney in the 1990s was the one with the Magic Mirror, anyway there was a segment about cats that was draw very realistic and it always creeped me out.

Oh my god! The flintstone costumes looked like bootleg costumes I was afraid of the puppet masters. The puppets them self are unique in so disturbing. Especially blade,torch, leech woman and pinhead. I remember they’re was a series on hub that was goosebumps but it was darker and the characters don’t survive at the end.

Sesame Street used to scare me back then, especially with that claymation Marty the chair that doesn't look like something from Gumby or the California Raisins and he keeps bumping into things while finding his glasses with creepy sounds playing since it first premiered during its 16th season (40 years ago), glad it aired for the 37th and last time on January 13, 1999 in episode 3813! need I say more?!

[@mightyfilm]

That one always cracked me and my cousin up. We'd imitate the sketch a few times.

Given he doesn’t count Denahi a villain in his Amos Slade video, he may skip Brother Bear. It’s been a while, was there a villain in the second film?

[@surreal-riley]

@@KaizokuGaeruonce he reaches brother bear I can see him doing what he did for the bambi and dumbo video and calling it the brother bear “villains”. Even though denahi and atka aren’t necessarily villains they’re still antagonistic towards our main heroes. Even in his fox and the hound video he points out how Amos slade is also barely considered a villain.

[@nicholassims9837]

​@@KaizokuGaeru so do you think Encanto, Rayan Last Dragon and Strange World will be skipped ?

[@KaizokuGaeru]

@@nicholassims9837 The Druun and Namari's clan are definitely villains. Strange World is a strange case since the climax was a drastic misunderstanding and the Strange World's antibodies (Reapers, etc) are more like predators. Encanto's closest villains are the Colombian soldiers that persecuted the Madrigals and we know so little about them.
