As a kid, I used to keep my bed in a corner to give monsters less options, from underneath or the closet, but having two cats has cured me. There's always something lurking in the dark, usually tickling me with its mustache at some odd hour, or licking the tips of my fingers or my toes... also at some odd hours. I no longer fear the dark!!! :D~ HUGZ
Clowns. I found them eerie as a kid and still do. That Killer Clowns from Outer Space didn't help. @daij: sorry you went through that. My father was no angel either.
Waking up at night sure that someone or something is standing over me in the dark. Having cats does not help with this. :)

ReplyDeleteComing home to a dark house. I try to remember to leave a light on before I leave.
ReplyDeleteyou got it in one boo - the monster under the bed **shudder**
ReplyDeleteWaking up in the depths of the night, alone in the house, and hearing an odd noise. Suddenly I'm 8, hating being left alone at night.
ReplyDeleteNothing to be honest. I was never a scaredy kid to begin with.
ReplyDeleteOh I did love my religiously motivated horror like the Omen, Exorcist, Carrie, etc. Those were good wholesome fun!

That's easy. Knowing my father was going to beat me after my mother went to work every time they argued.

oh daij.....
ReplyDeleteWaking up in or coming alone to a dark house still puts me a bit on edge. I guess it comes from being a latchkey kid.
