Oh god, I remember watching Soap when I was eleven, home sick from school. I think I saw the part you just mentioned when the wind starts rustling in the nursery. It is still scary. I also remember something about the dummy being rather frightening.

I used to think i was the only one who thought there are creepy moments in the series.
Yeah, The ending of season 1 gave me the chills also when it first aired 30 years ago. The music and the pictures of the five suspects added to my fright. Very outstanding otherwise.
The shadow of a guy who was stalking Danny. spooked me. -

Wowthis is wild. Apparently, a lot of people had that same reaction to the season 1 finale. I was so shocked at even the reading of the verdict in that episode, because you could the hear the audience gasp also. Then, the background music goes into almost a dirge-like death knell, and it wasn't a comedy anymore. Then, to top it all off, that weird freeze frame and Rod Roddy's creepy revelation.

I agree with all of the things you all said except for Chester about to shoot Danny. I just watched the final episode, and have a a new one that wasn't mentioned. It's the last scene Burt does on the show. He creeps into a room with a bat, and there are guys in the room with guns drawn, and a guy behind Burt with a knife. That's the creepiest moment to me.

I was only 7 when this originally aired and I had to sneak to watch it every week as it was on way past my bedtime (thanks for putting cable in my bedroom, folks!), but I still very clearly remember the nursery scene and being scared out of my wits. I had recently snuck and watched
Rosemary's Baby
as well, so despite my young age, I knew what the implications were.
Even as a little kid I knew this show was something special, even if I couldn't explain why until many years later. Thank goodness my mother was also a devoted fan so I wasn't punished when she found out I had been watching it all along!

My dad loved this show when I was little and watched it all the time, so I caught bits of it, a time or two. Corrine's "demon baby" used to scare the holy **** out of me. I also remember something about a "talking wall," but I'm probably wrong about that. Probably from a different show. I'm an adult and I LOVE the show now, but I've also found that the scene where Elaine dies in Danny's arms always creeps me out whenever I see it.

When I was about 11, I used to watch the reruns on Comedy Central, and the first time I saw Burt being abducted, it scared the beep out of me. Something about that bright light taking him up, then all of a suddennothing there.
I recently watched the episode on Antenna TV, and found it a little less creepy, although it was now due to the primitive special effects. 1970s SFX still have that effect on me. Charming, yet creepy. On a similar note, the closing credits of the season 2 finale is kinda creepy, with the four characters in a "quad-box" as the credits roll.
The freeze frame of Jessica in front of the firing squad also creeped the hell out of me.

I think I can top you guys. I was "9" when SOAP debuted and a feww weeks from age 13 when uit ended.
My mother made no issues about me watching anything,so I saw the whole thing. (Which I just did again on DVD's from the library).
So,yes,just likee some of you,I got major chills (prickley feelings) during certain scenes,that I most likely should not have been watching.- Peter's grizzly murder is the first time on a sitcom (and I
think only time) we see someone actually killed (fictional as it is of course). - It was a surprise when they said Jessica didn't do it as the ywere taking her away. I always thought it was Chester and I was right. I thought making Jodie or Burt a suspect was laughable. What would it have to do with Jodie and why would Burt kill his own son?
- The posessed baby was defintly a send up of the movies,"The Omen","The Exorcist" and even "Rosemary's Baby". The only thing I did laugh at (being so creepe out then) is when Corrine says "Oh,.my God" and the baby says "Don't say that!" "I hate that"!
- The family vanishing in the basement? You bet! Especially that weird music when Dutch grabs Jessica & she drps the candle.
- Burt's abducion by the UFO,when the light come down and he dissapears,oof!
I will say this,in the 1980-1981 season,I find the show far more deprseeing than funny. Burt had become a jerk,I was tired of Chester and Danny had actually become stupider.

Just watched the season 3 finale, where Jessica flatlines in the hospital (did they ever reveal what severe illness she had?). The still shot of her lying in bed with her eyes closed is another creepy moment, especially the constant beep.
