Scariest film or TV programme you ever did see

What scared you, disturbed you, made you hide in your parents' bed (after weeing in your own)?

Child snatchers, Grange Hill bullies, or John Pertwee as a sex crazed zombie scarecrow?

I saw Alien when I was 6 on the telly, and wasn't expecting the whole stomach business.

Also saw a public safety film, where six 1970s-style tearaways go play on a farm.

They all died, horribly (I think there was an even nastier one with paedophiles).

There was an episode of Quantum Leap with the Devil in it that shat me up good and proper. If anyone can tell me the name of it so I can hunt it down I'd be much obliged.

I saw this thing on BBC News, 2nd May 1997, whe- Oh. No. That was real. :(

"The Boogie Man"

episode 305

he meets a young Stephen King, the devil is played by a goat.

Why would you assume I'd know a thing like that?

'Cloverleaf' struck me as pretty high up the scary scale.

Badoom tish.

Invasion of the arseholes? I think.

Because you Googled it, just like everyone else. ;)

How did Sooty get a new post straight after making the other one??? :S

For the exact title.

I knew it featured an evil goat, so that's what I googled.

ALIEN - Sci-fi - without a doubt the greatest movie that haunts my imagination.

There was a horror made by the makers of Alien about a guy returning to his home town in USA. He finds out the town is controlled by the doctor who's using voodoo to control the town folk. They're all dead. At the end, he watches a film and sees his own death, and he realises he's one of them but he'd somehow escaped the doc's influence. Scared to Death or Dead Scared or a variation on that. But I've never tracked it down. Anyone know this film?

In one scene a nurse kills a patient by jabbing a needle with drugs OD straight into his eye - possibly the only part of him that wasn't bandaged. Yikes.
