I saw this when I was a child in Blackpool, England around 6 years old maybe younger so around 1984/85. It was a series that was shown in the cinema before the main attraction. If memory serves me it was on before the Dark Crystal. It seems to have been shown in the cinema well into the 80's. Anyway I went to the cinema with my dad and brother and when this came on I was happy eating my goodies until the head appeared. I never screamed so much and I wouldn't stop. We had to leave the cinema as I was uncontrollable I was freaking out. To be honest I was traumatized for a few years. My brother remembers me being inconsolable for days. I used to have crazy nightmares about it rolling on the ground towards me in my bed.
To be honest I'd absolutely love to see it again to confront my demons.
