The Lou Farrigno Hulk had a few films. One with Thor and another with DareDevil. He freaked me out when I was a kid. The white eyes, the whole transformation process.
I was 2 or 3 during the shows run and it was huge. When I hit 4, my dad gave me a bunch of old British reprints of first issues of Marvel comic characters and Hulk was one of the featured strips. It was cool that this monster character I feared was actually a kind of anti-hero, a destructive force of nature that would cause collateral damage but never hurt anyone and would be there to fight much worse threats.

Poltergeist - when the poltergeist is throbbing like an overweight slug on the counter, and then the guy's face starts bubbling and morphing and melting off. That scared the bejeezus out of me.

I don't watch much TV. It's a name I've heard many times, just haven't gotten around to watching it yet. But I have it from Netflix now, so I'll probably watch it soon.
In Pittsburgh on Saturday nights, we were treated to Chiller Theatre on our NBC channel. Chilly Billy (Bill Cardille) was the host and they would run a horror or sci-fi film each week. It ran just after Saturday Night Live.
Dude as I stated earlier in this thread, Poltergeist (the movie) has haunted my darkest fears throughout my childhood.
You might think it's cheesy now...but imagine watching it for the 1st time when you were about 10 yrs old & knew nothing about the movie or what a "poltergeist" even meant.
Oh yeah, for a 10 year old it would be pretty effin' scary. When that dude was looking at himself in the mirror, and well, you know... that really didn't seem like PG material to me. But yeah, I thought most of it was pretty cheesy. It was weird because it started out like it was going to be kind of a G-rated spectacle kind of film, but turned scary, particularly at the end. I'm not sure if I'll get around to seeing any of the sequels (how many are there?), but I'd suspect they'd be better.. less cheesy and more gross out scares? (kind of like all those corpses rising up from the ground at the end)
