I'm not sure whether this is what you are looking for...

The Disney cartoon Snow White gave me a fortnight's worth of broken 
nights and terrible nightmares, so bad my Mum took me to the Docs.

The bit that freaked me out, and still does, is when the wicked 
stepmother makes her way into the dungeons of the castle and walks 
past a cell, where there is a skeleton reaching for a jug of water 
that has been placed just out of reach.

EEEEEEEH!!!

Interestingly enough, on UK Channel 4 last night and continuing 
tonight, was a programme about the 100 scariest moments in film and 
tv.  Watched it last night and will continue tonight - though there 
were a number of items which sent me running into the kitchen to 
hide. 

Worst of all - Lawrence Olivier doing the demented dentist bit in 
Marathon Man.

EEEEEEEHHHH!!!! cubed.

What's yours?

June
