I remember I got Forever from the library when i was about 11 and my mum decided to have a look to see what it was about and she was really peed off!!! I couldn't see the fuss really - although the part where they had a name for his willy (was it ralph) maybe was a bit inappropriate for primary school!!

I still have all my Point Horrors books! I loved them! Do you remember the one called "13" that had (surprisingly) 13 stories in it? There was one called "The Doll" which really scared the sh*t out of me. I can't look at a porcelain doll again. If I stay in someones house that has one I have to ask them to lock it away in the shed or something!! They're really freaky!

Porcelain dolls have freaked me out ever since i saw a video cover for the horror film 'Dolls' (i didn't need to see the film my imagination was enough) so i was scared by that story too! Anything about toys coming to life is scary!

Maybe that was due to my sheltered up bringing (Yeah right!) |

Anything about toys coming to life is scary! You won't have seen the puppet horror film called "The Puppet Master" then??? Or "It" which was a Stephen King novel made into a film about a clown that kidnapped children through the condies (that's drains in the road for you people in England!) |

In my experience, you've got to simplify the good old Scots Language for our cousins south of the border!!!

Have seen both those films actually - you have to face your fears sometimes!!! IT is one of my favourite books actually - I love stephen king. Have not seen the tom hanks film but heard its really good. By the way I am Scottish and I have never heard of a drain being called a condy! Must be a regional thing!!  |

All this talk of dolls coming alive has stirred a very vague memory of a programme I used to watch on a Sunday night on BBC It was about a exclusive sort of gentlemans club where prospective members had to tell a true supernatural story about something that had happened to them. Depending whether the story was scary enough they'd be allowed to join...
One day a young lady asked to tell her story. I remember she had a wicked stepmother who tried by various means to dispose of her but was foiled each time by a lifesize doll (I think called Rose) that the young girl had been given by her real mother before she died. In the end I think the stepmother was found dead (but we knew it wasn't the accident they thought it was!) The gentlemen agreed it was a good story but they couldn't allow her to join because it obviously couldn't be true. The young lady then said she'd like to introduce them to a friend of hers..... and in walked the doll !! I think this must have been mid/late 70's and was on about 8.00 or 9.00 ?
Does anyone else remember this? I know it's not strictly a children's programme - but I watched it when I was young so I'm counting it in !
