Is Spooky TV Bad for Kids? (30.10.09) - TWStuff

What's your view?

Note that due to Youtube's 11-min limit, I had to trim the opening bit, but it's a fairly self-explanatory topic.

Actress Elisabeth Sladen appeared on the show to promote The Sarah Jane Adventures.

I could watch Liz all day long,

That Dr Who actress is intelligent, they should have her on more often. Raises the tone of the whole show.

@TimelordTVRevolution I know just what you mean! I think she was just such an amzing, inspirational person, who was just genuinely lovely :) Such a sad loss. RIP Lis xx

@popcornfilms1 Trust me, there's still stuff in all those shows that makes me go "WTH?!" but in an "I have no idea what's happening & nobody's explaining it" way, not the "OMG I think I need new underwear" kind of way that's being implied

Introduce kids to a Rated-PG Silent Hill-kinda TV series, that's some REAL freakout TV, right there

I'm still mind fucked by Childs Play. I'm scared by it now but there is a boundry from the fun to the the messed up.

@Tarynus that recent one wasn't scary but it did certainly make you uncomfortable if you were in a dark room XD

[Tarynus]

Dr. Who, Primevil & Ben 10 are FAR from scary! Granted, some Dr. Who episodes mess with your head, but they aren't really scary.

Hell, the later Ben 10 series' don't even have the same impact as the original (they practically ruined Vilgax & Ghost Freak in Alien Force)

Now, the Goosebumps & Are You Afraid of the Dark? TV shows, THOSE were truly scary!!! Especially Slappy the Dummy, that creepy bastard...

Bring back the Teen Horror genre, I say!! Give these kids the scares I got at their age!!

We have all dark theme stuff in movies and comics and fairy tales there is nothing wrong with it at all just a part of the story .
