Personal mystery: What scared young Salzmank?

This INTK is probably impossible to solve because it has so many details that I don’t know. But it’s been in the back of my head for a long time now and I thought I might as well ask.

When I was little—late ’90s, early 2000s—my grandmother was babysitting me one night and I was watching some children’s cartoon. I don’t remember what channel, but from what I’ve looked up I’d guess it was Noggin. Anyway, at whatever watershed time the cartoon went off and a program for teenagers came on. Whatever the teenager show was terrified little Salzmank, and my grandmother came in and saw me watching it and shut off the TV immediately.

I’d love to know what show it was. This is such a strong memory, especially for one so early. My biggest memory is of people—I’m guessing teens—sitting around a water fountain. The best point of reference is this scene in Scream:



I’ve long considered that the scene I’m remembering actually is this one in Scream. And the movie would certainly scare a little kid. But I highly doubt that the Noggin channel or any channel that played children’s cartoons would have the rights to, let alone play, Scream.

My other problem with saying this is the scene is that I remember some kind of fixture, a sprinkler or something, behind the kids.

Anyone know a scene that looks similar to this and would appear on that kind of channel late ’90s? I know, so vague, maybe not worth asking. But I’d love to solve this little personal mystery.
