Lots of children’s TV including that googly eyed bugger, Zippy from Rainbow.
Also some of the illustrations in Ladybird books - most notably the depiction of the troll in The Three Billygoats Gruff  (it was a bloody terrifying looking bastard!) |

Jaws - I flat refused to use the bath for weeks afterwards because I feared the shark getting me. I was a smelly kid.
I still fear the open ocean to this day too. I refuse to wade any further than my ankles at the coast. |

A folly on the way back from my grans house. Happened to tell my teacher as a kid it was lit up (not normal back my way in the 80's) and he said it was ghosts. I was blinking terrified for years, used to have to close my eyes as we drove past in winter. |

I don't recall being particularly scared by anything. I wasn't (and am not) keen on swimming in the sea if there's jellyfish but when I saw a girl on holiday when I was about 11, who'd been stung by jellyfish, it made perfectly rational sense to me and still does. Her leg was a horrible mess and she spent several nights in hospital. |

"Zelda from terra hawks ..
Fuck, had forgotten about her! She still gives me the creeps "
And that decidedly bloody creepy, German accented, pineapple haired ‘baby’ thing
Side note: Is it just me or did Dr Tiger Ninestein bear an uncanny resemblance to Kevin Sorbo?  |

Nightmare on elm St, Freddy, then I saw the scene when he's running through the alley and it ruined it. Hellraiser got me too but never scared like I was of freddy! |

Dogs. When I was about 7 years old I was walking home from school across a field when a group of 5 dogs were running wild on the field. They ran into me and sent me flying. I wasn't bitten but I'm still wary of dogs to this day!

This.
I love swimming, but even now I get this overwhelming fear that a shark is going to pop out of a vent in the swimming pool! I'm funny about the sea too, need to be able to see the bottom! Sometimes I would get brave and venture further out, until something (prob sea) would touch my foot and then I'd nope it all the way back to the shore!! |
