Fat Boy Mendoza Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Â I have vague memories of hiding under a table at my Uncles house after seeing Grotbags for the first time. Fuck me ! That face still scares the shit out of me. When I saw the title of this thread instantly my mind regressed to fear of that green faced bitch.....Grotbags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted December 21, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted December 21, 2016 Was trying to find out if Carol Lee Scott is still working as Grotbags, and I found this cracker on her wikipedia page. Â Â Â The concept of Grotbags came about while Carol was performing in summer season in Cleethorpes with Rod Hull. When Rod was approached to make a new show to be broadcast at the launch of Central Independent Television, he created the series Emu's World, and approached Carol to play the witch. Together they came up with the premise of Grotbags' character and name (the latter coming with Carol suggesting 'Miss Grot', the name the MD of Ladbrokes used to call her; Rod revised it to Grotbags). Â Miss Grot... I assume that's because of all the porn she did behind the Iron Curtain or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Â The Gatekeeper from the Atmosfear/Nightmare Video Board games scared the living shite of 8 year old me. Just look at the fucker. Looking back at the advert now ( ) he looks like Rhod Gilbert in dress up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted December 22, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted December 22, 2016 That's proper weird, imagine being scared of something destined to scare the fuck out of you?? Â On the flipside, Baron Samedi from Atmosfear 2 wasn't scary in the slightest, he was a right old laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted December 22, 2016 Awards Moderator Share Posted December 22, 2016 I just watched this whole bloody thing. I was appalled just how much of it I could recite from memory: Â Â I'm convinced this isn't an actor. Just some homeless guy they pointed a camera at, like the ones that become town legends. "Old Baron Samedi's been at it again, vomming under the railway bridge..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted December 22, 2016 Moderators Share Posted December 22, 2016 I never had it as a kid, but a few years back (long ago enough that I still had a vcr) my mate found it in a charity shop (the first one with the gatekeeper). We had an absolute blast - it was a rare thing from childhood I never had that actually lived up to what I thought it was going to be like.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted December 22, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted December 22, 2016 Onyx, I'm going to watch that on my commute home now (blocked at work)- thanks! Â They were brilliant games. The first three were good, the first two especially. The fourth got a git confusing at times (the vampire one) but Harbingers was really decent with a change in format. Might have to try and source a second hand copy somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieg1980 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I went about going to get all these a few years ago. I already had them but my dad threw them into the loft and pieces and cards were everywhere. Bastard. Â I got hold of the newer Mummy one and the Gatekeeper one that I think came on DVD but they didn't hold the same atmosphere as the originals. Elizabeth Bathory was the one that got me. Creepy and sexy at first and fucking horrifying later one. Was she the same actress as the witch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FourHorsemanAA Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Captain Black from Captain Scarlet used to scare the shite outta me. In the intro video when hes in the graveyard, i never ran so fast behind the sofa. To think i asked to watch it everyday aswell, glutton for punishment i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
