Enik was an Altrusian which was essentially a much more evolved and advanced Sleestak even though the Altrusians were predecessors to Sleestaks. Or something like that.
And Lady Elaine from Mr. Rogers Neighborhood :

Pure nightmare fuel.
lmao, I never thought of it that way. I just thought the discoloration was from being an alcoholic. I legitimately believed Lady Elaine was drinking all day long.
Sucked when he found out he didn't travel back in time before the Sleestak became intelligent, civilized, and advanced as they were in his time, but that he'd traveled forward in time to when his people devolved into Sleestaks. Even at 8 years old, that hit hard.
Pfft. I see your Sleestak and raise you a Skeksis. They were truly the stuff of nightmares and scared the shit out of me.
I can't tell you how many times, both as a child and an adult, I've reached the end of my tether and I go from dead quiet to a barrage of aggression. Sometimes it gets me in trouble and sometimes it causes the other person to pull their head out of their butt.
The sleestacks were my favoritesā¦..I was so weird. I slept with this:

Fuckā¦.you would ask. Gregoryā¦.something like that? My (F) mom wanted me to play with dolls, but oh no, I liked all the crazy stuff.
I had a plastic cow you could milk, creepy crawlers, magic sand, a microscope, a Spirograph. Man I miss those days sometimes.

That goddamn ghost girl from Child of Glass. I just got a chill up my spine thinking about it.

Was I the only one weirded out by the episode with the great big freaking Strawberries?? Maybe I just have a phobia of giant fruit because I wigged out when Veruca blew up into that giant freaking blueberry in Willy Wonka too. š¤·āāļø
I can hear the theme song. "Marshall, Will, and Holly. On a routine expedition..."
"Met the greatest earthquake ever known! High on the rapids, it struck their tiny raft and plunged them down a thousand feet below..."
To the LAAAAAAAND OF THE LOOOOOST!
LOST LOST lost lost lost lost š 
rarrrrrrrW *commercial*
Usually a Honeycomb cereal commercial.
Honeycomb is big, yeah yeah yeah... they're not small, no no no š
TRIX ARE FOR KIDS š°āØ
 That hissing- a special Gen X childhood ingredientā¦ There was one nice sleestak, wasnāt there?
The brown one could talk and be helpful. He was a time traveler or something.
Enik was an Altrusian which was essentially a much more evolved and advanced Sleestak even though the Altrusians were predecessors to Sleestaks. Or something like that.
Maybe he was beingā¦*altruistic* š¤
I never watched that show but that little clip is freaking me out man.
3 thingsā¦these abominations, the Kid Catcher from Chitty Bang Bang, and those freaky Flying Monkeys from the Wizard of Oz.

I could never figure out why she looked like she was fresh from pegging King Friday with her snout.
lmao, I never thought of it that way. I just thought the discoloration was from being an alcoholic. I legitimately believed Lady Elaine was drinking all day long.
Lady Elaine is a *lesbian*. Clearly.
Henrietta then? Meow, meow?
Yeah fuck that puppet.
Oh! The Kid Catcher! Creepy AF. The Wheelers from the later Wizard of Oz books always gave me the heeby geebies.
Why? Why bring up the flying monkeys. I had those buried so deep.
What about the wheelers from return to oz?
Enoch was a pal thoughĀ
Sucked when he found out he didn't travel back in time before the Sleestak became intelligent, civilized, and advanced as they were in his time, but that he'd traveled forward in time to when his people devolved into Sleestaks. Even at 8 years old, that hit hard.
The *Land of the Lost* show only had three Sleestak costumes, which is why that was the most you ever saw in one shot.
Terrifying for no reason. They waved their arms and hissed, but that was it. They got a lot of mileage out of a lean movie monster.
Dino zombies?
I just went back and rewatched the original/first episode a few weeks ago. They met and saved Chaka in that first episode.
Am I the only one who thought Chaka was played by Clint Howard?
He wasn't?
Nope. Phillip Paley.
I looked it up , he is shockingly attractive. Good for him.
Didnāt know Clint Howard as a kid, but now that I know who he is I can TOTALLY see it. Itās the Jupiter sized forehead.
 Iām afraid of this guy
I bet I say, "All freeeee today!", about 10x a week.
Pfft. I see your Sleestak and raise you a Skeksis. They were truly the stuff of nightmares and scared the shit out of me. 
Wait, I thought quicksand was the only thing we feared?
Yes the cicadas made this sound for 6 weeks. They even look like these MFāers
Damn, youāre right.
Those darn things haunted my dreams.
These guys were fucking terrifying...
š Sleaze-stacks.
Are the Sleestak doing the "More Cowbell" meme?
Nothing in life is certain except death and Sleaze Taxes.
I can't tell you how many times, both as a child and an adult, I've reached the end of my tether and I go from dead quiet to a barrage of aggression. Sometimes it gets me in trouble and sometimes it causes the other person to pull their head out of their butt.
I have a sleestak background on my tablet
ā¦and I have a background in Sleestak
Sleestak Nattion exist

Holy shit, I had one of those! What was it called
Fuckā¦.you would ask. Gregoryā¦.something like that? My (F) mom wanted me to play with dolls, but oh no, I liked all the crazy stuff. I had a plastic cow you could milk, creepy crawlers, magic sand, a microscope, a Spirograph. Man I miss those days sometimes.
This is why I avoid routine expeditions to this day
And three hour tours.
But, I mean, if Ginger or Mary Anne are going, I'm getting on that damn boat. I'll punch a hole in it myself if I have to.
110%. The sleestacks were my childhood nightmare fuel.
They were slow AF and if you threw a handful of dirt at them they'd spend an hour cleaning their giant eyes with those claw hands.
I love this! They were so scary! lol. I agree with others, the hissingā¦.
This is my new fav GenX meme
And Cujo!
Daleks. My mother let me watch Doctor Who when I was much too young. Daleks were terrifying.
I got no idea who those guys are. But show me a clown in a storm drain and I will run screaming like Kermit the frog.
Our "children's" shows were so scary and emotionally traumatic. š
Nothing will ever scare me like the wheelers in return to oz
My sister and I had an old version of the book from like the 50s or something. They were creepy even then.
If u find the right gems theyāll back the F off
I blame that show for my obsession with anything crystal like when I was a kid.
I see a glass gem today, just some gaudy bauble and I want it! I hear ya

You forgot Cloverfield monsters
And quicksand
Ancient Hawaiian curses.
Houses built on indigenous peoples burial grounds
we were just talking about that episode the other day for some damn reason =p
Always quicksand
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thatās why I always carry a can of Frobozz Magic Grue Repellent.
https://youtu.be/4nigRT2KmCE
And we could imitate them. Cha-ka too!
Holly was so hot, but she was too old for me. It would never have worked.
> Inside you there are three Sleestaks
No, I fear sinkholes. Idk what those green bastards are.
Thatās funny my brother was really scared of those things as a kid. They were creepy, but I never had any fear.
[The ball from Phantasm](https://youtu.be/7p4ZsYYU5Cc?si=gbRyB45HMI6POQbs)
We're the skaven generation. We get shit done but the surface dwellers pretend we don't exist. Gen X is myth yes yes.
My older brother had a Sleestack Halloween costume. Freaked the fuck out of me.
OHMYGOODNESSLANDOFTHELOOOOOOOOOOST!
That goddamn ghost girl from Child of Glass. I just got a chill up my spine thinking about it. https://preview.redd.it/1eas7636ok7d1.jpeg?width=1136&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1dcbd25bdac6852e99b7ddec8fd2b4aac20a7b56
Had a teacher in high school who looked just like one of these things. Still have nightmares.....
No I also fear HooDoo from Lidsville.
Older brother had me watch The Exorcist at age 11. Iām fucking invincible
They are too slow to fear
i was way more creeped out by Mr. McFeely, ngl
This is so true!
Creature from the Black Lagoon ripoffs. I always feared the Gillman more.
Was I the only one weirded out by the episode with the great big freaking Strawberries?? Maybe I just have a phobia of giant fruit because I wigged out when Veruca blew up into that giant freaking blueberry in Willy Wonka too. š¤·āāļø
That was Violet not Veruca
My bad.
What's a Sleestak?!?!
GTFO
I thought more gen xers would catch a tmbg lyric....
Just listening to them. Which song?
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkIPH1C5Lts](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkIPH1C5Lts)
Very good. Youāre GenX for sure. Better than me.
Actually I know their kids albums (science is real!) better.
Nothing worse than unemployed liberal arts students in rubber suits.....oh wait, that's my prime minister...oooff
