Scary moments in movies and tv

*pennydreadful* · 02-12-2015, 06:47 PM

I was thinking about The Neverending Story last night, and how scary The Gmork was. Which got me thinking about other scary bits of things that I watched as a smaller, younger pennydreadful (a pennylette? a dreadlette?).

So, I'm going to share something that creeped the everliving giblets off me - and still does to this day. Because hey, if my psyche is going to be irreversibly scarred, why shouldn't yours be too?

This is a song from a children's movie called Dot & The Kangaroo (based on a book of the same name)... I don't know if it's well-known outside of Australia? Apologies for the quality but it's a very old movie and it's hard to find cleaner versions of it that still have decent sound.

I'm going to go ahead and say that this song gets 80% of the credit for why I am extremely creeped out and uncomfortable with:

- the Australian bush
- the outback
- anywhere not heavily inhabited by humans
- groups of trees standing suspiciously close together

EDIT: I made the mistake of watching part of this as I uploaded it and I am in the process of regretting that decision most heartily. Now I sit here, a grown-ass adult, in a brightly lit room in the middle of the day, scared by The Bunyip Song. Curse you, Bunyip Song!!!!
