1980s kids didn't even have their fears of nuclear annihilation assuaged by collecting bubble gum cards. Rock-hard gum was the least of their problems with 1985's Garbage Pail Kids cards. Yes, they only cost 12 pence a pack but they also cost you your peace of mind forever.

The 1970s and 1980s seemed like a golden age for the horror anthology and the often gruesome covers were a magnet to kids everywhere. Most sort after were the Pan Books of Horror with stories chosen by Herbert Van Thal but Fontana's line of books were almost as tempting.

Not all cartoons are pleasant viewing. 1978's Watership Down, about nature red in tooth and claw, traumatised children everywhere. And since the song from the film, Bright Eyes, was number one for six weeks in early 1979 we had to endure dead bunnies every Thursday on TOTP.

In the 1980s the Cold War wasn't so cold on the big screen as Hollywood converted real-world tensions into cheesy propaganda. Film after film portrayed moustache-twirling Russians (and Cubans) who threatened the US way of life get their comeuppance from square-jawed Americans

Not all of us were buying ABBA LPs in the 1970s. Instead we were rocking (slowly back and forth) to the sounds of the BBC's 1977 album Sound Effects of Death and Horror. With tracks like "Nails Hammered Into Flesh" and very disturbing sleeve art, it was a must listen.

@brizzyguy36 Here in the UK we had a similar thing: Trebor Mummies, boiled sweets with terrifying true life tales inside each wrapper. Oh, those yellow eyes though!
