Thomas the Tank Engine was actually kind of horrifying

[Pike]

Do you know how many engines got, like... bricked up in tunnels and stuff? Remember when Smudger was turned into a generator and never moved again? Because that happened:



...and yet I loved this show growing up anyway.

[Madame Adequate]

Thomas the Tank Engine is almost as terrifying as the I-Beam.

I watched this trout like all the time. It was great.

I love shots with that tall arch bridge.

[Psychotic]

Thomas is the best, get out.

Also they redubed the UK voice over guy for the US!? He was half the charm of that show

[Shorty]

I hated this show and thought it was so creepy as a kid, and as an adult it has confirmed to still be creepy and I still hate it.

[Calliope]

Could this not have gone in your "disturbing children's shows" thread?

Anyway, I thought this show was great. The other day I read a Thomas book where Thomas is sad because he can't go fishing, and the conductor makes him stop by a stream so he can fish for hours. Thomas looked sad, and then the conductor filled his boiler with stream water, which turned out to be full of fishes (which presumably were cooked alive). I laughed and laughed.

What's creepy about stapling human faces to tank engines?

It was none other than Ringo Starr of the Beatles too.

Thomas tried dating before, but everyone drove her off by calling her Thomas' shank engine.

Kids stuff is terrifying.
