What holiday special scene put you on edge as a child?
This scene from Rudolf the Read Nosed Reindeer always got me.
Fearsome Beard 
the B&W 1951 version of “scrooge”, the ghost of xmess future scenes.
No filmic images come to mind but on the Xmas theme I could never get my infant head around the line in ‘Jingle Bells’ referring to a “one-horse open sleigh”. I’d always imagine a poor horse cut open with its entrails hanging out still having to pull a sleigh. Even now whenever the song comes around I can’t help the sorry image invading my mind.
Another puzzling one to my child brain, though not grisly, is in ‘Rudolf”- “You’ll go down in his-turee” – I;d always wonder “Whose turee?” and what’s a “turee” anyway? 🙂
Raybeard, I love your mind!
Just the products of a then undeveloped brain, D. – but thanks.
Well, that one did it for me, also. Equally, the scene from Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol with the Ghost of Christmas Future in the graveyard. That cartoon traumatized me!
Anyone remember the little drummer boy, with its scene of his family being murdered? I can still see the father being knifed.
