I thought

was kinda creepy as a kid - falling into the giant magic hat and being tormented by Charles Nelson Reilly and all that - but watching now, it's pretty tame. And I just learned that the lead guy was Butch Patrick, who played Eddie Munster on the The Munsters. I didn't know that.

 

Then there's The X-Files.

Possibly the longest opening theme song in TV history?

This one, hands down absolutely terrified me when I was a kid, my mum still jokes about it from time to time. Both the tune and the opening sequence are creepy as hell. Even briefly checking it out to post it gave me the heebiejeebies.

This show (Vegetable Soup) used to come on really early on saturday mornings when I was a kid. I still have nightmares about this weird-ass show. Here was the theme:

This is the same show that brought us these bizarre characters:

Both of the themes that have creeped me out have already been mentioned, Unsolved Mysteries and The X Files. As a kid, they both terrified me, especially the X Files. The show would always come on just as my sisters and I were supposed to be going to bed, and nothing would get us there faster than that theme song. As soon as we heard it playing, if we weren't already on our way to our rooms, we were definitely there by the time it finished playing. I laugh about it now, especially since I've gotten over that and love to watch reruns of the show whenever it's on.

This gets my vote, Friday the 13th the series.

 

Also an awesome show, if you like B movies and cult stuff.

Absolutely the freakiest thing meant for children! Those puppets were frightening! The dead eyes, the large hands...

 

The puppets were from a segment of "Vegetable Soup" called "Outerscope," about a group of kids who build a wooden spaceship in their backyard and then travel to trippy planets and other dimensions. I swear it was meant to put kids into an altered state, maybe existential ennui. In any case, it's a scary little drug trip for a nine-year-old.
