    I was a kid in the age of radio. 1940s Appointment with Fear had me so scared I used to run past the dark spare room on my way to bed.
    1950s serialised War of the Worlds was unmissable and breath holding.
    But in the 1940s &1950s the most unmissable of all was Dick Barton, Special Agent!
    I think creepy shows on radio were more frightening because you created the pictures in your own head.

    Speaking of the hand, nobody's mentioned The Adams Family (and 'Thing'), which was great :emoticon-0148-yes:

    What about that weird Japanese series, was it called Monkey? Or Monkey Magic? The creators were on some serious drugs. I used to love it though.
