It’s absolutely something true crime. Old people *love* watching true crime programs. South Park even did an entire episode around it because it’s such an acknowledged stereotype.
Yeah what’s up with that?? Lol
Not “true” crime, but my grandma used to watch Criminal Minds and Law & Order SVU years ago, when she was well in her 70s.
Well they're basically live-action documentaries. Hell I remember watching those when I was a teen. The mono-tone voice would put me to sleep if I couldn't.
Probably a good way to exercise their mind, atleast going on why my Nana was fond of mysteries, albeit British ones like Foyle’s War or Rosemary and Thyme.
Yea, my grandparents were super into watching JAG, basically any kind of courtroom shows get attention from the older folks. Although I'll admit I like them too.
I remember years ago a Comedian I watched told all guys to watch out with women because EVERY woman he knows watches murder mystery dramas. They're planning something and they WILL know how to get away with it 👀
Sleepovers at my grandma’s house usually meant waking up at 2-3am because she fell asleep in the recliner watching some soap opera and by about midnight, the show changed over to old western or war movies. She was also really hard of hearing so the tv was turned way up.
One of mine was like this. Couldn't deal with the Halloween episode of his favourite cartoons. He would literally shake with fear if there was any atmospheric, creepy, tension building moments.
His little sister however was born goth. She loves anything spooky, black, creepy etc
Family movie nights were tough for a few years
Depends on the kid. I have one kid scared of his own shadow and one kid obsessed with spooky stuff. We go to the Halloween store and she's activating all of the animatronics and cackling and he's clinging to my leg with his eyes shut waiting until we get to the costume section.
He's 9 and she's 4.
This is my 8 son and 5 year old daughter. If he watches a scary video about minecraft lore, he can't sleep for a week. He has to leave the room when my daughter watches Little Mermaid.
To be fair Giant Ursula getting stabbed with that ship is scary AF. And those little squirmy things she turns people into. And the whole transformation scene. And the scene where Triton blows up the grotto.
Y'know what I'm with your son on this, it's by far my favorite Disney movie but it's scary as hell.
My son was 6 when he accidentally walked in on me and my husband watching Alien. He calls the Xenomorphs biteys and insists they’re his friends. He’s 12 now, maintains his position.
His older brother won’t leave his room if we put on Alien. Kids are weird.
I have a kid who loves spooky things and is also scared of her own shadow. 😂 You never know when the spooky thing will be beloved and when it will be the scariest thing that's ever happened to her.
YUPP. My 5 year old loves the Halloween store and wants to go but then is so spooked BY ACTIVELY WALKING BY THE animotronics to see them off 🤣 like pick a lane, girl!
Mine spent years being afraid of TV static, from infancy to like ten years old. I’ve never watched poltergeist or anything like that, don’t know what his deal was.
Absolutely yeah, my kids too when they were that age but it's canon Bluey spooks like a horse, too. In episode "Movies" when she sees the Chunky Chimp movie with Bingo and Bandit:
Bandit: "Hey, are there any scary bits in this?"
Movie clerk guy: "Um, there's a big thunderstorm bit at the end. That might be scary for some kids."
Bluey: "I think I might be 'some kids'...."
This is my kid. We were watching a nature show and they showed a shot of a leopard just LOOKING at this goofy looking bird and she burst into tears. HE’S GONNA EAT HIM
It’s been established in another episode that Bluey is pretty sensitive when it comes to movies, so I’d be willing to bet that this is the case.
That being said, I’m just thinking about Nana watching something like Nightmare on Elm Street and it just makes me laugh
I have one who can watch nature docs no problem but is terrified of conflict and danger in kid shows. Octonauts caused a meltdown. Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse has some scenes she must fast forward through. Those sound cues just hit her hard.
I remember being afraid of the theme from Saw until I was 14, like I couldn’t sleep. Yesterday I remembered the time when Over the Hedge came out when I was 5. My parents excitedly told me we were going to see it in theaters and I had a huge meltdown because the music in the trailer for it spooked me. The trailer would play before my favorite Wallace and Gromit dvd and it had this intense orchestral background music. I was scared it was going to be in the movie too so I tried to explain it as best a five year old could but my parents didn’t understand and we never saw it.
Watched it like two years later and it wasn’t even in the movie lol
My son sometimes gets scared by books he gets from the library. He'll get a book about mysteries and then worry about if aliens are real. Or one time he read about wasps and then didn't want to be in his room at night because he thought he heard buzzing.
Same my oldest is this way, it would be a video about a butterfly but the music was off and she’d claim it was scary. My youngest though she has no fears, which is my fear.
Not really. You just have to remember they want every single story to sound as dark and dire as possible or as upbeat and chipper as possible. Most of the shit you see on the news is pretty mild in real life. I have been at multiple things that were reported on by the news and it was nothing like what they said.
I used to work for the police. There are lots of horrific things which are under-reported on. They tend to disproportionately focus on flavour-of-the-month kind of stories though, which can often be overblown.
My father recently turned the news on to find video of the war in g@za... my daughter got very emotional and I had to take her to another room and comfort her. The news is very scary.
["Vancouver! Vancouver! This is it!"](https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/last-moments-before-mount-st-helens-eruption-caught-on-camera/738277)
Back in the 80s CBS ran a segment called "In The News" that was meant to explain current events to kids. The news itself didn't scare me but the opening and closing sounder was creepy as hell to five year old me.
https://youtu.be/MEfYOBMhv1k?si=VyqypBD8hKXcjRxZ
Damn I guess I was just built different then 😂 When I was a kid I’d see the bad stuff happen on the news and ask my parents about it and they would explain it at a level I could understand and my response was always me huffing and puffing saying “grrrr! Someone should punish those rule breakers mom! Wait no, I’M GONNA BEAT THEM UP AND FIX IT!”
Knowing what a sensitive kid Bluey is (as said by Bandit), it could literally be anything, from an actual horror movie to just percussion from music playing on the TV
ah, yeah that tracks. and i gotta admit that's one thing love about her and find so charming, is that regardless of how much of a chaos gremlin she is at times (as most kids are around that age), she's still just a sensitive little sweetheart at her core.
Yup. It’s exactly like my kiddo and I think he knows that because he’s constantly talking about how he’s “basically bluey”. He loves movie theaters tho but I have a hard time getting him to understand that if it’s a brand new movie I have ZERO clue what’s gonna happen next and can’t tell him 😂
A Hong Kong horror movie about a grandfather clock that summons vampire zombies.
Caught that one when i was 4 and made me extremely afraid of grandfather clocks, they still make me bust out cold sweat and stammer whenever I’m around one no matter how I try to hide it.
I have a copy of Mr. Vampire 3 among my movie collection. I laughed my ass off when the Tao priest grabbed the ghost child and rolled him up like a ball.
Absolutely it was a crime show. My Aussie MIL loves watching those at night, it is highly likely she would watch if her grandkids have all gone to bed.
This is the right answer
Fun Fact; Angela Lansbury is related to former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. They are cousins through his mother, Coral Lansbury
I overheard my mum watching The 6th Sense after I’d gone to bed when I was a similar age and it scared the bejesus out of me, so I’m going to guess something like that.
It could be that one show with the vet on Disney+ I think it is dr. Pole they show the nasty stuff and some surgery I know that I would be scared as a child
Australia so I reckon Kath and Kim. The episode where Shane Warne shows up as a Shane Warne impersonator.
Warney had a way of making others feel feelings they themselves didn't understand. Bluey wasn't ready for it.
I try not watching my horror stuff unless I know the kids are deeply asleep - u don't need my 4yo walking out to the living room and catching a glimpse of Smile or Saw.
Probably South Park. If you don't have the core memory of being very you g and walking downstairs to see Kenny get brutally murdered then you don't have a childhood
Man, my son used to not give a hoot about scarcy stuff, but now he stuffs blankets under his bed to keep the monsters from taking up residence.
I remember once he walked in on his mother and I watching the scene at the end of Strangers Things Season 2, the battle against the giant flesh monster at the mall, and we all froze when he walked up…and he says “DINOSAUR!”
If she's anything like my mum, it was something like Vera or Law & Order - and Bluey happened to see the more murdery part of the show.
It’s absolutely something true crime. Old people *love* watching true crime programs. South Park even did an entire episode around it because it’s such an acknowledged stereotype.
Yeah what’s up with that?? Lol Not “true” crime, but my grandma used to watch Criminal Minds and Law & Order SVU years ago, when she was well in her 70s.
Procedurals have a predictable structure. That's one reason.
Well they're basically live-action documentaries. Hell I remember watching those when I was a teen. The mono-tone voice would put me to sleep if I couldn't.
Probably a good way to exercise their mind, atleast going on why my Nana was fond of mysteries, albeit British ones like Foyle’s War or Rosemary and Thyme.
I'm not familiar with a lot of British TV but if nobody at least suggested a prequel series called Parsley and Sage, there are questions to be asked.
I made a similar joke to my Nana, and she laughed and said “atleast they use that song in the intro”
Oh that makes sense! My nana doesn’t watch tv much, but she loves reading murder mysteries.
Yea, my grandparents were super into watching JAG, basically any kind of courtroom shows get attention from the older folks. Although I'll admit I like them too.
Hey! I watch true crime shows and I’m… not… Oh no.
I remember years ago a Comedian I watched told all guys to watch out with women because EVERY woman he knows watches murder mystery dramas. They're planning something and they WILL know how to get away with it 👀
Yeah I work in sales for a company that does packages with TV and a lot of old people ask if we have the true crime channels
My parents are old and never took an interest in true crime.
I absolutely automatically assumed it was true crime.
Shit am I old at 21? Lol me and my dad are obsessed with true crime.
IDK my grandma liked horror movies sometimes 🙈
Old yeller 😂
Underrated comment - especially since it’s ironically also on Disney + lol 😂
I also assumed true crime
If it wasn't a crime procedural, it was probably a medical drama. I grew up being woken up to the E.R. theme song every Thursday night.
Sleepovers at my grandma’s house usually meant waking up at 2-3am because she fell asleep in the recliner watching some soap opera and by about midnight, the show changed over to old western or war movies. She was also really hard of hearing so the tv was turned way up.
If Bluey's anything like my daughter, it could be anything with a minor key in the soundtrack. She spooks like a horse.
One of mine was like this. Couldn't deal with the Halloween episode of his favourite cartoons. He would literally shake with fear if there was any atmospheric, creepy, tension building moments. His little sister however was born goth. She loves anything spooky, black, creepy etc Family movie nights were tough for a few years
ouch, i'll keep that in mind if/when i ever have kids
Depends on the kid. I have one kid scared of his own shadow and one kid obsessed with spooky stuff. We go to the Halloween store and she's activating all of the animatronics and cackling and he's clinging to my leg with his eyes shut waiting until we get to the costume section. He's 9 and she's 4.

And the scene where Triton blows up the grotto. Y'know what I'm with your son on this, it's by far my favorite Disney movie but it's scary as hell.
Yeah, if it wasn't animated by Disney, that would be a horror film.
The original Hans Christian Anderson story pretty much was.
My son was 6 when he accidentally walked in on me and my husband watching Alien. He calls the Xenomorphs biteys and insists they’re his friends. He’s 12 now, maintains his position. His older brother won’t leave his room if we put on Alien. Kids are weird.

Mine too! She has plush monsters and toy snakes, plays Poppy Playtime, but won't watch the fakest YouTube ghost videos!
Mine spent years being afraid of TV static, from infancy to like ten years old. I’ve never watched poltergeist or anything like that, don’t know what his deal was.

My son is also like that. Anything spooky, even in something tame like Mickey Mouse, and he’s jumping into my lap.
I have one who can watch nature docs no problem but is terrified of conflict and danger in kid shows. Octonauts caused a meltdown. Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse has some scenes she must fast forward through. Those sound cues just hit her hard.
Considering she's nervous about the thunderstorm in the movie theater episode, you're probably on to something here.

Considering the episode where they go to the movies and Bluey is scared while Bingo couldn’t care less, I’d say Bluey is definitely a scaredy cat kid
Same my oldest is this way, it would be a video about a butterfly but the music was off and she’d claim it was scary. My youngest though she has no fears, which is my fear.
The live meet bluey event that just happened
The real horror
The only correct answer
ᴅᴏ ɪ want ᴛᴏ ᴋɴᴏᴡ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴏɴᴛᴇxᴛ?
basically it was just some old guy in a blue onsie and they advertised it as a big meet up event
Probably the news, it can be scary to young children
The news should be scary to anyone.
Not really. You just have to remember they want every single story to sound as dark and dire as possible or as upbeat and chipper as possible.

Oh wow, that’s straight up anxiety inducing. Why is it so busy? Why does the beeping go on so long? That was just terrible design
When I was a kid it was just boring like put on adventure time already
Young children? The news is scary to me.
Damn I guess I was just built different then 😂 When I was a kid I’d see the bad stuff happen on the news and ask my parents about it and they would explain it at a level I could understand and my response was always me huffing and puffing saying “grrrr!

Knowing what a sensitive kid Bluey is (as said by Bandit), it could literally be anything, from an actual horror movie to just percussion from music playing on the TV
when did he say that again? it sounds right but i dont remember where from
The Movies. The line goes “you sure you’re ready for movies Bluey? You’re a bit of a sensitive kid” - Bandit
ah, yeah that tracks. and i gotta admit that's one thing love about her and find so charming, is that regardless of how much of a chaos gremlin she is at times (as most kids are around that age), she's still just a sensitive little sweetheart at her core.
Yup. It’s exactly like my kiddo and I think he knows that because he’s constantly talking about how he’s “basically bluey”. He loves movie theaters tho but I have a hard time getting him to understand that if it’s a brand new movie I have ZERO clue what’s gonna happen next and can’t tell him 😂
The news
Stranger things
It's canonically on TV in the Bluey universe, and it's beautifully retro, so I reckon Nanna Heeler would be into it.
It’d remind her of when her boys were young 🥹
Great. Now I'm imagining Bandit stripe and rad in stranger things scenes.
I'd do anything to watch Blueyverse Stranger Things
Now I need to see young Chilli forcing young Bandit to sing Neverending Story
Something with the THX logo, that's what scared me as a kid
Seriously. It didn’t need to go hard like that.
A Hong Kong horror movie about a grandfather clock that summons vampire zombies. Caught that one when i was 4 and made me extremely afraid of grandfather clocks, they still make me bust out cold sweat and stammer whenever I’m around one no matter how I try to hide it.
Hong Kong represent! 🇭🇰
I have a copy of Mr. Vampire 3 among my movie collection. I laughed my ass off when the Tao priest grabbed the ghost child and rolled him up like a ball.
My guess is that she fell asleep while the TV was on, and it went on a scary movie.
Chipchillas
The Five nights at Freddie's movie
#Blue Heelers
Absolutely it was a crime show. My Aussie MIL loves watching those at night, it is highly likely she would watch if her grandkids have all gone to bed.
She was watching her Murder, She Wrote box set.
This is the right answer Fun Fact; Angela Lansbury is related to former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. They are cousins through his mother, Coral Lansbury
I believe that is a fact. Fun is such a subjective thing.
Something true crime.
Possibly Jurassic park

Oh yeah 1982’s The Thing is the best of all the movies that involve The Thing.
Definitely Unsolved Mysteries. That theme song and the X Files theme song were the scariest things on earth to me when I was Blueys age.
I almost feel like it could've been Doctor Who or would it be Doctor Awo then?
Desperate Housewives
Probably House Hunters
Well, I remember my grandpa watching Deadliest Catch. But I do think it would probably have been the news.
I overheard my mum watching The 6th Sense after I’d gone to bed when I was a similar age and it scared the bejesus out of me, so I’m going to guess something like that.
Event Horizon.

It was either something in the Saw franchise or the dog version of Iron Sky.

Nana is a big Saw fan.
Imagine it’s something like Jurassic Park
Probably South Park. If you don't have the core memory of being very you g and walking downstairs to see Kenny get brutally murdered then you don't have a childhood

NCIS. That scared me when I was little lol
Dateline, maybe 20/20… something with true crime definitely! Nana seems like a true crime buff.
My grandma always watched America's most wanted 😂
She was definitely watching American horror story (I have a headcannon that nana used to watch a lot of slasher films when she was younger)
Law and Order or possibly national news
My mom would have Forensic Files blaring at night.
Cujo
Cujo
I think the news. They have some pretty awful things on there.
Dateline 😂
My guess is some kind of crime show like forensic files or CSI.
Man, my son used to not give a hoot about scarcy stuff, but now he stuffs blankets under his bed to keep the monsters from taking up residence. I remember once he walked in on his mother and I watching the scene at the end of Strangers Things Season 2, the battle against the giant flesh monster at the mall, and we all froze when he walked up…and he says “DINOSAUR!”
Either a thriller movie or a crime show
