Scary moments in game shows...

Oh 100%. With the right life conditions, it's nearly impossible NOT to take that chance.

Couple that with the sound effect...yeah that was nightmare fuel for a while.

I was with Big Bird in the Hollywood Squares 'times up' buzzer scaring the bajeebus out of me.
'The Joker's Wild' parp was disconcerting.
I never thought the 'Daily Double' sound was 'pleasant'

Not me, but my younger cousin hated the bonus round on TTD...Specifically when the camera would zoom in on the selected box and the dragon would "swoop" in with the roar.
Semi-related: The Screen Gems "snake" logo along with the associated creepy electronic music scared the crap out of me when I was in my single-digits.

Not me per se but I can’t tell you how many times I heard from viewers that their special needs kids would freak out when the Viacom logo would appear. Both the early 70s EKG and the later 70s swoosh.
