Scarred For Life

The unsettling music. The detached voiceover. This 1987 clip from ITV Schools programme SCIENTIFIC EYE may just be the eeriest thing I've seen all week. 'Look Around You' has nothing on this.

EVE OF THE WAR (1978), the second single from Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds, is an absolute banger. But the video is on another level, perfectly capturing t...

THE OWL SERVICE (1969): The deeply eerie title sequence to Granada's beautiful adaptation of Alan Garner's classic novel. One of the most mature children's dramas ever, for me it t...

THE ENCHANTED CASTLE (1979): BBC adaptation of Edith Nesbit's book about a group of kids who find a wishing ring at a country estate. The 'Uggly-Wugglies', a scarecrow-like dummy audience for one of their home play performances, are accidentally wished into life, with alarming results...
ROBBIE (1979): a replacement for the graphic and extremely controversial 'The Finishing Line', this PIF, about a boy whose feet are amputated after an encounter on train tracks, had quite the ending! Talk about a constant reminder...
OMNI (1978): "The world's first major magazine of science fact, fiction, and fantasy" captivated me when I was 8. I didn't understand 90% of it, but I loved its silver pages, the UFO Update column, and most of all, the eye-melting artwork. Bring back magazines that look like this!
DOOR CHAIN (1976): A PIF which dares to ask the question, 'did Aunt Annie or a Rasputin-looking axeman politely ring your doorbell?' This one was in rotation for so long that, for me, it's forever entwined with ITV Night Time shows of the late 80s and early 90s!
KEEP FLEXES OUT OF REACH (late 80s): A real late-night horror, usually aired during the ITV Night Time strand well into the 90s. Part of its audience would have been students and ravers coming home from a night spent off their heads, so god knows what effect that last shot had on them.
Staying up late to watch horror films of a weekend was always a joy when I was a kid. This scene from SOMETHING EVIL, a 1972 'demonic possession' TV movie directed by Steven Spielberg, scared the living stink out of me when I was 8 or 9, and it stayed with me for decades.
Calling Mr Vein! KING OF THE CASTLE (1977), part of HTV's Unholy Trinity of scary kid's shows, along with Children of the Stones and Sky, fused Alice in Wonderland with Kafka. A troubled teen is knocked out in a lift accident and wakes up in a nightmare world populated by his anxieties...
PLAY SAFE: KITES AND PLANES (1978) Part of the infamous PIF trilogy that included Jimmy and his frisbee. This one sees a poor lad fly his kite too close to an electricity pylon, resulting in a graphic pre-watershed electrocution airing between episodes of Magpie, How, and Clapperboard.
