Spoilers!
My big brother got me to watch an episode when I was 9 years old and I remember the opener was a filmy screen that slowly sharpened until it showed a large eye which shattered. Maybe that doesn't seem scary but as I remember it I about pooped myself screaming. I only had to hear the theme from "Route 66" (the show that preceded WO) and I would start shaking.
This was a really freaky show! The photographer who had a potion that he used to touch up facial blemishes (and magically they would disappear on the subject's face). When his advances toward his pretty assistant are rebuffed he ages a photo of her. She returns to the studio disfigured, finds his magic fluid, and pours it on his photo. His face is half melted off and I was ready for a straightjacket! Me and horror never worked out well...
I'm 67 now, my kids like to watch "Grimm" and "Stranger Things" and I KNOW they didn't get that from me!
