When I was like 7 or 8 and my parents would be watching Tales From The Darkside I would instantly wake up in terror mode. This consisted of me screaming for my mom. It honestly didn't matter how low or loud the T.V. was if I caught the tune I was activated.

Childhood Nightmares
Tales From The Darkside was a T.V. show that ran from 1983 to 1988. It also was made into a movie. The content of the show wasn't particularly scary but my god the theme of the show is grotesque. It still gives me chills when I play it. Ugh. That creepy guy talking and that simple tone repeating.

My parents used to get a kick out of my terror and would turn this on just to wait for me to rush into the living room screaming. Yeah, cruel and unusual.... but thanks to my Mom for suggesting this as a post for the blog.

Cool concept for a blog! I never watched that show growing up but I remember my parents watching Alfred Hitchcock and when I saw his shadow on the screen I would think, "that's the scary man." Then I would be ushered to bed!
