Gotta throw 'Ren & Stimpy' into the mix. That show had some deeply unsettling and gross-out moments that, looking back, were super weird for a kids' cartoon. 'Happy Happy Joy Joy' still plays in the back of my mind in the most haunting way possible.

Ah, you're all missing out on the real golden oldie, 'Children of the Stones'. Think sinister villages, creepy rituals and a whole lotta weird science going on. It's a 70s show, but it's aged like a fine wine of creepiness. Worth a watch if you can find it.

Anyone remember Trap Door? 'Don't you open that trapdoor, coz there's something down there.' Seriously, it's one I think back to and wonder how it was ever seen as a good idea for kids. Loved it though, in a weird way.

MR BLOBBY for PM? That pink monstrosity haunted my dreams for years. I mean who in their right mind thought a bouncing, bumbling pink thing with a permanent creepy smile would be fun for kids? Terrifying, just terrifying.

Most definitely 'The Animals of Farthing Wood'. It was marketed as this cute animal adventure but was seriously dark and intense. Animals died left and right, and it was quite the emotional rollercoaster for a kid. Had to watch some episodes from behind a cushion.

Teletubbies. Yes, I'm serious. What's up with the sun having a baby's face? And Tinky Winky's handbag was just the tip of the weird iceberg. Pure David Lynch material for toddlers.

oh man, don't get me started. Anyone remember The Demon Headmaster? That show used to leave me hiding behind the sofa. Kids with glowing eyes and all that mind control stuff, pure nightmare fuel that was. And that theme music? Still gives me the chills.

Let's talk about Rainbow's 'Twangers' episode. We all know the real story behind it now, but imagine being a kid and somehow picking up on the ahem adult humour. That's a whole different kind of creepy if you ask me!

Does anyone remember 'Trumpton'? They had a fire brigade but somehow it seemed super sinister. The way they marched and the music...gave me the creeps every time.

Even Camberwick Green and Chigley the train.

LOL you lot get spooked by some retro TV shows? Modern kids would laugh at this, they've got youtube and games that are way creepier. Camberwick Green's about as scary as my gran’s knitting. Step up your scare game, peeps.

Have to chime in – the whole Trumptonshire series! There's something about the inanimate expressions and jerky movements of old stop-motion that can feel quite unsettling. It’s funny considering they were the height of kids' TV entertainment. The simplicity and routine in those shows contrast so starkly with today’s fast-paced, high-tech stuff. No wonder it sticks in the mind, it's like watching another world where time ticks differently.

I reckon it's the music in them shows that's a bit uncanny, like it's too cheerful or something. And them characters with their blank stares... I swear they're plotting something when the camera's not on them. That said, I’d still watch 'em over half the stuff that’s on telly these days lol

Oof, yeah, Camberwick Green has that eerie stop-motion that sets the teeth on edge. It's the pacing too, feels like anything could jump out while Windy Miller is taking his sweet time milling about. Chigley's train always seemed a bit ghostly to me, don't know if it's the whistle or what. Still, proper classics!

Most people don't think of 'Grange Hill' as creepy, but that episode where Zammo starts using heroin. Mate, that's some dark material for a kids' show. It had a really gritty feel to it, and as a kid, it was quite a shock to the system.

In The Night Garden. All of it. Makka Pakka? Absolute scenes. If that's not the stuff of nightmares, I don't know what is.

What's not mentioned enough is 'Teletubbies'. Seems all cute and cuddly, but have you ever watched it alone as an adult? Sun baby is watching you, always watching... Can't tell me that's not unsettling.

Anyone remember 'The Animals of Farthing Wood'? That show was brutal for kids. Animals dying left, right, and centre... Scarred me for life that did.

Gotta say, 'Boohbah' was a proper head trip. All those colours and weird movements... it's like it was designed by someone after a night out in the club 😂

Anyone else remember 'Jeepers Creepers'? Not the movie, the TV series with that weird host. The whole vibe was just unsettling, couldn't ever figure out if it was meant to scare kids or entertain them, ended up doing a bit of both I reckon.

If you've never seen 'Children of the Stones', you haven't experienced true eeriness. It's a 70s show, seriously ahead of its time, full of pagan rituals and all sorts of strangeness that gets under your skin. Still holds up as one of the creepiest kids shows ever made in the UK.

nothing can compare to the bizarre horror of 'The Demon Headmaster'. Like, seriously, what were they thinking with that one? Imagine having a headmaster who just hypnotizes the pupils to do his bidding. That's some next-level school anxiety.

Boobah. Just Boobah. Like, what even is that show? It's like someone had a fever dream with Teletubbies in it and went 'Yeah, let's turn it up to eleven'.

My kids watch 'Peppa Pig' and sure it's cute or whatever but there's this one episode with Mr. Skinnylegs the spider, and it's meant to teach kids spiders are our friends, but honestly, it gives ME the heebie-jeebies, spiders are a no from me, thanks.

Who remembers 'Chocky'? Now that was a creepy show from the 80s, proper weirded me out when I was a lad. That kid talking to his imaginary alien friend, people chasing him, gave me the creeps right proper!

Remember 'Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids'? That show was something else, man. Those twisted stories, and that creepy guy, the narrator, with the cinema that could eat you or something. Traumatized me for life, I swear.

In the Night Garden always freaked me out a bit, not gonna lie. Something about Iggle Piggle's wandering about without a clue. Plus, those Haahoos, giant floaty balloon things, just why??
