I don’t know why thought since the diver was just a human. What makes it weirder is that when I reminder watching scarier things when I was even younger, like 300, Deep blue sea, nightmare on elm street, Grimm brothers, robot chicken, a Bigfoot horror movie that I can’t remember the name of (all I reminder from it was a the plot being the handicap man and some girls in a house in the wood Beijing attacked by big foot, and a scene where he bites off someone’s face) and another movie that I can’t remember the name of but had this creature sticking its tongue in people mouths and making them into monsters.

This reminds me of a episode of the Moomin valley, a finnish animated series which was very popular here in finland. So the episode was about The Groke. A scary purple monster that makes wierd noises and freezes everything it touches. So the start of the episode wasn't that scary, but in the middle of the episode the Moomin family was playing some poker till someone noticed that the Groke is coming. They all grab weapons and get ready for the Groke. Now this is the part where I was scared af. Spooky music starts to play and out of the mist comes the groke. He approaches Moomin family slowly and stops. Then moomin papa points Groke with a gun and counts to ten, when groke starts to leave and the moomin fam is safe.

It was just such a horrifying buildup to the reveal of the Bear and the Lion which I remember running out of the living room and I ran straight upstairs to my bedroom. The entire thing just felt so Erie as you described. Funnily enough though, at the time my parents used to actually make fun of me for being scared of it and they used to tease me which looking back it was pretty messed up of them (it was mainly my mother if I remember correctly).

Oh yea, my aunt used to use that line all the time when we were playing... "And I'm coooooming!" Then my parents didn't let me see that aunt again.

The lion just wanted to talk to the bear about his extended car warranty.

[@tomnook3765]

Nah, he’s probably from Microsoft tech support

[@annabellesomething4033]

Nope he just wanted a years worth of marshmallows

[@smushii169]

No, he wanted to know if he had any grapes.

The scariest thing in that show when i was smaller was the vacuum i have autism and the noise freaked me out and in some episodes he did reall inappropriate stuff

To be fair: 'sweet technological baby with a magic bag' would be a pretty descriptive (albeit confusing) bio on a gay dating site.

The fact that the sun baby is actually a mom today makes me happy.

I seriously still feel goosebumps and get a little shaky whenever I hear the “The Lion and The Bear” segment. I have watched it countless times since and am of course not scared of it, but my body and brain have an almost PTSD response to it. I broke down the segment in a loooooong review in the comments of the clip on KZbin about 5 years ago. If I find it, I will post it underneath, but it basically outlined how the editing, sound design and shot composition is the same as what is used in many horror films.

[@irisfilmproductions]

Yes pls do
