Chimera was chilling, for the first episode but I felt it dipped a bit for the rest of the series.When I was maybe 10 or so, there was a (I think) bbc drama miniseries thingy called Chimera, about a monkey/human hybrid.
That scared the crap out of me.

Yes, it left a lot up to your imagination - to use a much over-used phrase these days, it was immersive. The night time scenes were the worst, you really did feel a huge sense of relief when the next day came. And then the end scenes in that derelict house, and then you left and it haunted you afterwards. Chilling.The only thing I’ve watched that has genuinely scared me was The Blair Witch Project. I think it just tapped into a real, deep-seated fear I have of “something out there in the dark that is going to get you and it’s just a matter of time”.
I saw it at the cinema when it came out and was actually breathing heavily, heart racing, towards the end. I had a couple of disturbed nights sleep afterwards.
It is massively disturbing and unsettling, and fantastically good. But not scary in the terrifying, jump off your seat, cover-your-face-with-cushion sense.How is Texas Chainsaw Massacre not scary in the dictionary definition sense, T & P ?
It’s fucking terrifying!
It was on ITV, and aired on a Sunday night. It scared me as a kid too, even the music in the opening. As the episodes progressed, though, I empathised with the hybrid child. There's a scene with the farmer's children (boy and girl) who befriend him (after he's killed their parents iirc) and they host a make-believe tea party.When I was maybe 10 or so, there was a (I think) bbc drama miniseries thingy called Chimera, about a monkey/human hybrid.
