I don’t know about you all, but a train with eyes has always freaked me out, and that’s why I was never a fan of Thomas & Friends. But finally, years after the show has been on, one person has shined a light on a scene that puts on display how terrifying this show truly was — almost traumatizing.
A Twitter user named Tristan Cooper recently took it to Twitter to show off a clip from episode three of Thomas & Friends — an episode where a train named Henry is “sent to death” for not going to work. Um…what? Henry refuses to emerge from the tunnel because he doesn’t want the rain to ruin his paintwork.
And that’s when the Fat Controller has enough and decides Henry be imprisoned in his tunnel forever.
Take a look at the bizarre clip below.
There’s a Thomas the Tank episode where a stubborn train is punished by being entombed alive forever and it’s worse than any horror movie pic.twitter.com/Bn1Y0PTItL

“We shall take away your rails and leave you here for always and always and always.” What in the world…? And Henry looks like he’s just seen the worst thing in his life.
Twitter of course chimed in on the scene.
Peace and love. Peace and love!

Geez…
No wonder George Carlin took over.— Liam Clarke (@ADeadDiehard) September 28, 2017
am I alone in thinking that the bit at the end feels reeeeeally weirdly fascist?

I looooooioved this show growing up. It’s hilarious/terrifying how blunt it is looking back.
Henry is consistently a butt though.

Oh, and there was also this scene that Cooper shared.
One Thomas the Tank episode features a character getting literally pulled apart. That’s gore. This is train torture porn pic.twitter.com/skiif3qFsJ

This is a children’s show?
But don’t worry, Henry eventually is let out of the death hole.
In conclusion, what in the hell were we watching as kids?
