Now if you really want to get them excited, in Gatchaman Fighter there is an episode where the Team gets attacked by a bunch of mechanical cows! I'm sure *some* of them are bulls....

Thanks so much for posting that link! I have only seen the first series of Gatchaman so far... Ken has a sword? Does he still have his boomerang, I always wanted one myself. Not that I mind, love a man with a sword 
Lol I can just imagine the nightmares my son would give himself with those red eyed cattle! He already has a thing about the smoke detector (which aparently moves around the room and shoots red lasers out at him). After watching BotP last night the boys are now fighting a thing with 100 eyes underneath his bed!

Ken has the Gatchaman Fencer, a light-saber-style sword, in the Gatchaman Fighter series. His boomerang is long gone by that point.
I guess it's a good thing your kids didn't see the red-eyed rampaging bull!

The red-eyed cattle are rather creepy. I can remember, as a little kid, seeing things on TV that gave me nightmares (one episode of "Space 1999" in particular). Again, your sons have wonderful imaginations!
Posted by Transmute Jun on 20-08-2010 at 13:51:
Yeah, it's amazing what you latch onto as a kid that frightens you. I remember watching a Disney special where the 'Magic Mirror' talked about all of the villains. The face in the mirror was super creepy, and I had nightmares for days.

Shall I have to mention "Chucky" ... again ... and why I still hate certain dolls?!!! Then, there was that period during which I didn't want to keep my bedroom's window open because one of my brothers had dared me to watch "The Exorcist"! That's one drawback I had by having older brothers! But, then, most surprisingly, I could watch anime, which could have even been classified as heavy ones for a young kid, without having any repercussions!

Perhaps, for you, it as the difference between animation and live-action that caused you to think differently about it, Marie?

The Exorcist had my sister and I terrified as well! I also had nightmares about the red eyed horses in the animated Lord of the Rings movie.
I wish I could find the Dr Who episode with the scary hand in it. Just the memory still gives me the creeps!

Oh yes, that scared the sh-- out of me too. I'm not sure how I was even allowed to see that movie.
Amityville Horror also left me
To this day, if I wake up in the middle of the night close to 3:15am, I freak out.

Galactor's Giant Air Show. I love the part of that episode where Jinpei says "Whiskey?!", and Jun says "Not whiskey, Jinpei. whisker" like a mother or a teacher trying to teach a child what certain words really are when they mishear them.

I think that's what makes the difference, for me! I could watch infinite bloodshedding and the ugliest, and most sinister, of monsters and devils as long as they're only animated, but then, when I watch live-action, which includes these kinds of things, I freak out! I'm also able to read about them without twitching, but, when it comes to real life ... I can't even watch news, or documentaries, illustrating present or past real wars! I could feel my heart breaking!

I am similar Marie. In the animated form I can see blood, but in real life .... I faint at the sight of blood. Not a great thing for a teacher of 6 year olds to do.
I have to tell my students if they are bleeding you go to the office for help, unless you want to see Ms. B lying on the floor. For everything else, I am here for you. Of course, come to think about it, maybe I am getting better. Two years ago when a student decided he would see what happened when he tried to sharpen his FINGER in the pencil sharpener, I did not faint.
Sorry Marie if that story made you ill.

You, and all the other teachers, have a great responsibility, CD, and I always bow my head to you! It's one thing, having to take care of your own children, but, it's another thing to look after a whole class of children who are not yours!
That story about the student sharpening his finger is terrifying ... you were so courageous! Children just know how to invent dangerous and uncalculated things, especially at that age! I think, when such things happen, a person acquires a major strength in order to help who's in need, notwithstanding his/her fear! Life's experiences teach us a lot and help us to mature more in every aspect! Usually, I'm one that doesn't faint in front of real blood (I thought I was like that, before, but real life experiences taught me otherwise!), but, I do feel that wringing effect inside my stomach when I see it!

Should I admit that I sharpened my finger when I was in Kindergarten?

Generally, I can handle the sight of blood, but I don't do so well when it's my blood. I hit my head when I was nine and got a cut -it turned out to be a small cut, only needing about 3 stitches- but at that age, I didn't now that scalp wounds bleed unusually heavily and I really panicked when I put my hand on head and then saw that my whole hand was covered in blood.
Somehow I managed not to see any really scary movies on TV (like the Exorcist) until I was old enough not to be so scared. There's a clip from the Space 1999 episode that gave me terrors at age 6 on youtube though. I laugh now when I see it, but back then...

See, I'm just the opposite. I did a back flip off the neighbors deck and cut my head, also needing stitches, and I was more concerned about but being able to go swimming or missing a tv show than the blood. And a few years after that I rode my bicycle into a barbed wire fence, broke a toe, and cut up my cheek, neck and shoulder, and was more concerned about the twisted handle bars on the bike (it was really challenging to ride home with them at a 60 degree angle to the bike).
