Social media shocked by creepiness of ‘cursed’ Australian kids TV shows as footage of 90s series Lift Off resurfaces: ‘Gave me nightmares’ [Video]

Fans have gone into a frenzy after a throwback clip from a ’90s children’s show resurfaced on social media.

Viewers have described the short excerpt from the ABC series Lift Off as ‘creepy’ and ‘disturbing’.

In the scene, shared to Chattr’s Instagram account, two children are seen interacting with a rag doll puppet which has no facial features, including no mouth and no eyes.

The clip features two girls, approximately ten years old, who come across this peculiar-looking creature.

Initially frightened, one of the girls asks the doll, ‘You’re not rubbish, are you?’ 

‘Someone’s thrown you away,’ she continues, before her friend adds: ‘I think he’s scared.’
