When Children Watch Too Many Horror Movies

Rachel: something really weird is happening here
me: where?
Rachel: home
me: what do you mean?
Rachel: there are about 10 cop cars positioned around our block. one is blocking the intersection at 3rd and Bryant
Rachel: none of the neighbors seem to know what's going on
me: but not *in* our home
Rachel: no
Rachel: relax
me: did you ever see poltergeist?
Rachel: no

***
The image that came into my mind when Rachel said something "weird" was going on at home was those dead bodies popping up in the yard in "Poltergeist." Then I pictured blood pouring out of the walls in the stairs going down to the basement. That's more "Amityville Horror."

Also, I can't close the door if I walk out of the bathroom with the shower running without imagining the whole room filling with worms, like I saw in this other random horror movie when I was little. I mean, when I came back, the worms might have filled the room, and they would spill out as soon as I opened the door and devour me.

When I was little, I brought a freind over and showed her our attic, which I thought was pretty cool, mostly because no one went up there and it was rather taboo. So when my mother found out, she was irked that I brought someone up to show her all the storage and pictures and private things, so she told me there was a monster up there who ate little girls who wore pink. Every day since I ran in horror past that door on the way to the bathroom, waiting for the time when I'd be too slow, and get nabbed by the monster.

Since I was 6, and watched The Shining with my mom, I haven't been able to be in a room with a closed shower curtain.

i have never, ever, not once, been frightened by a horror movie.
i'm sure this makes me a rather boring individual, much like the fact that i mostly hate all movies.
even as a kid ... i was like, dude, that doesn't look real, that shit isn't coming to get me.

"the running man" with arnold schwarzenegger kind of scared me, but i think it was mostly the tights.

    Really? Halloween 1 got me scared pretty good. My brother was no help either. He quickly figured out the simple piano tune and would play it upstairs when I was alone in the basement.

When I was 9 my dad let me watch Salem's Lot, a TV movie about a vampire, based on the Stephen King book.

I promptly developed a full-blown pathological fear of vampires and nothing any adult said could make a dent in it.

I was supersensitive about my neck after that, and wrapped my hair around it to go to sleep well into adulthood. I couldn't sleep if my neck was at all exposed.
    amanda [email] said at 5:07 PM 03-31-2004:
    I was never scared by a horror movie as a child, but I had a habit of checking out all of the "occult/supernatural phenomena" books from the library.

    That produced many sleepless nights of cowering beneath my blankets with my eyes shut tightly, mentally picturing the hoards of elemental demons, psychic vampires, and aliens who were obviously best kept at bay by an inch of fabric and my not looking at them. To this day, I cannot sleep without sheets (preferably a quilt and a blanket), even in the summer heat. If my flesh is exposed, monsters will eat me.

    i can't watch anything even vaguely scary without my back literally TO the wall. it definitely gets you in the neck, yeah.

    Salem's Lot freaked me out so bad, I had nigtmares for months. And I'd already seen A Clockwork Orange before that.

    The Nosferatu vampire made my little mind shatter.
      rick [email] said at 11:00 AM 04-02-2004:
      Which Nosferatu? The original or the remake with Herr Klaus Kinski? Or were you talking about "Shadow Of The Vampire" with Mr. Dafoe
josh [email] said at 5:11 PM 03-31-2004:
When I read Hunting Humans (age 12 or 13), I was definitely creeped out because U realized how fucked up REAL LIFE can be... Movies don't scare me.
    rick [email] said at 6:16 PM 03-31-2004:
    I was definitely creeped out when you bought "Hunting Humans" for a certain someone and he thanked you but told you at the same time that he already owned it.

      You're still scared of the corn. Hell, you got scared of the rows of pine trees by your house when I commented on their similarity to the cornrows in CoC, while we were driving through them. You even turned back around. Fraidy cat!
rick [email] said at 6:16 PM 03-31-2004:
Many of the referrers to Killoggs creep me out.
