@jlward @DaveHiggins I had not! To be fair, while Candle Cove sounds pretty terrifying, I don't think it could have terrified me more than the actual episodes of Doctor Who my parents allowed (encouraged) me to watch from the age of about 4, the novel The Owl Service, or the kids' TV drama The Moondial. Possibly the unbridled oddness of the media aimed at children from about '65 to '85 is part of what makes it such fertile ground for our collective imaginings.
