Were there any tv themes for you that just gave you the creeps or scared you out of your wits? There was a couple for me as a kid. The Old News At Ten Theme - I love it, but for some reason - especially in winter when it was really dark and the room was dimly lit - this was spooky as all hell! It was the dramatic violins and the booming 'boooong' bit.  Also, there was something a bit sinister-creepy about the original World In Action theme. Again, I love it but it still makes me shiver! They are the only two I can think of for me, just now, but no doubt more will come to mind :) |

Dr Who a bit when it started in the early 60s when I was a kid. A programme I've never liked, incidentally!

Agree with 2 of those, World in Action made me think of a terrible future as a little boy and the miserable sounding voice over presenter didn't help.....
I think the earliest 1963 Dr Who opening titles theme is a bit haunting too...... must have been very futuristic and high tech sounding for the time though.
This one was a bit startling whenever it started and I heard the blokes voice going "Ba-ba - Bababar, Ba-Ba Bababar"! (This is the only version I can find, so that bit's a little stifled).
I was very young when this was on, but here's another:

Here's one that always stopped me in my tracks as a kid. Some of these theme tunes were very well written I think..

It didn't really 'scare' me as such but kind of thought the BBC Darts coverage music from the 1980's was a bit irritating at the time.  Kind of ironic I'd get into electronic/alternative music acts 15 or so years later sampling or using similar sounds. |

The only sci fi I've ever liked were the tv series of Hitch hikers guide to the Galaxy and a film called Galaxy Quest, both of which were p*** takes! |
