A friend of mine was terrified of the Crypt Keeper from Tales from the Crypt. However, when she looks at it now as she is older, it’s still a little creepy but she doesn’t have that same fear that she did as a childhood. For example, there’s a character named Zeebo the Clown was terrifying to her as a kid. The how was about a group of kids that formed a club and members had to sit at a campfire at night and tell scary stories that they wrote, hoping to scare the rest of the friends. I have a cousin who watched the show called “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” growing up and she used to have nightmares from it. Research has shown that 90% of kids are scared due to media during their childhood and this can cause troubles with sleep, depression, high stress levels, and nightmares (Gruman, Schneider, Coutts, 2016).

Colin Fox also was known later on for his portrayal as Charles the Butler in television series The Zack Files.Do you remember a time in your childhood when you watched something via the media (like a TV show or movie) that made you so scared that it gave you nightmares for some time? Did you fear going to sleep because of it or were you on edge because you thought whatever you saw was real and would come after you? Researchers have stated that children’s reactions can be strong and powerful (Gruman, Schneider, Coutts, 2016). Colin Fox, was soon well known for his appearances in the Goosebumps TV series as The Shopkeeper in "The Haunted Mask", as well as "The Haunted Mask II". Colin Fox, also portrayed a conductor on the TV series Tales From the Cryptkeeper in the episode "Transylvania Express". Since he gave up his train and watch which was smashed by Tim who refused to become the conductor, all he could do now was to just walk up and down the train tracks. This was done just as the ghost 713 train came along the tracks. After this happened Tim was relieved of duty and he and Cap were freed, and all the passengers' ghosts were freed too. However soon Tim's older brother Hank, manually switched the train tracks in time. Then he throw away his hat and decided to have nothing more to do with his train. This was finally done, when Tim was in a trance and accepted His conductor's watch after he hypnotized Tim's maintenance worker friend from the train station, Cap Anderson, forcing him to board the train when he told him to stay away from Tim. Ray, was insane and evil now and he wanted his freedom, so he tried to persuade Tim to take his place as the conductor of the 713. Then in 1995, a young boy named Tim Williamson lived in one of the houses that his train once crashed into, Tim developed a frequent obsession with trains and wanting to become a conductor himself. The train relived and repeated the same accident every night ever since it happened. The 713 because a ghost train, and Ray and some of the passengers haunted the train. When his train came along, it derailed and crashed and killed him and all his passengers on board. Ray never got the message, therefore and never knew he had to stop and switch the train tracks. Ray feel asleep, and forgot to check his watch. This was because back in that time a conductor had to stop the train himself and get out and switch to the other train tracks manually. Ray Lawson was left a message to stop his train and switch the tracks. Then one night, a little further up on the train tracks from train switch 224, construction was being done on the train tracks. This let him know when to put his hand out the window and grab the message as the train would go by. The conductor would have to keep track of the time by keeping an eye on his watch. Therefore, when the operators from the train stations needed to contact the conductor, they would leave a message on a poll. Back in that time radios weren't invented yet. Many years ago in the 1910's he was a train conductor for a train called the 713. Ray Lawson was an engineer and train conductor. Ray Lawson appeared in the episode " The Tale of Train Magic". To be freed from his train, and have someone else take his place.Įnds up giving up his Conductor's Watch and his train and is left to walk up and down the train tracks forever now that his watch is broken and has no train to oversee.
