There is a bit in the book IT by Stephen King when a child gets trapped in a fridge. Gives me the creeps even now to think about it.

My commute into work from our old house took me past a substation everyday and I would always think of that stupid advert. Even though Dan has found it, I can’t bring my self to watch it again and I’m 31.

I’d forgotten the fridge one until you mentioned it Siobhan, I remember it being a story line in an episode of Casualty too. Needless to say, abandoned fridges give me the creeps, although I think they take the doors off at the tip these days.

If I remember rightly the films were on during children’s TV. They have traumatized an entire generation of Britons

Oh. My. God.

These are so scary! And these are supposed to be public service announcements?

I wouldn’t leave the house. Or is there one on the perils of bathtubs too?

I think I can place the beginnings of my love of the macabre back to these films, especially the one with Donald Pleasance voicing the spirit of death which lurks round stretches of water. I was terrified but at the same time strangely drawn. I also seem to remember a scarey one about not putting yourself in an abandoned fridge.

While looking for the Don't fool around with fireworks advert I came across this little gem which Kerry tells me had such an effect on her as a child that she still hurries past electricity substations as quickly as she can.
