It's funny that this thread got posted on today considering my mom and I literally just got done having a conversation about things that scared me when I was little. Which back before I was the creepypasta, Stranger Things, and horror fan you know today (although I lean towards comedy horror like Evil Dead), was practically everything. But anyway, am I the only one who was TERRIFIED of those PSAs about cancer and other diseases. The ones where it would show a dark background with loud alarm sounds blaring in the background with a man's rather stern voice saying things like,
"If you or your loved ones have cancer. Dial this number on the screen right now, don't hesitate *and then he would say whatever number just popped up on the screen*. I think the reason those commercials spooked me so much is because I would be watching something lighthearted and fun like SpongeBob when all of a sudden the commercials start up and a man starts reminding me of various deadly diseases. It's a definite shift in tone, that's for sure!
