IT left a permanent scar on my young psyche.

It is the cause for my fear of clowns. Pumpkinhead, made me hate sleeping by the window at night...and any werewolf movie...The Howling/American Werewolf in London..really did me in.

Now, it's mostly, murder movies, or when people are stalked by other people, or ghosts..When A Stranger Calls, or Paranormal Activity.

The Exorcist was the first really scary one I remember watching as a young teenager & I jumped when everyone around me screamed at various times during the movie... but I did discover that I really loved horror movies!

One evening this week I was watching 'Dr. Who' with my grandson, aged 8.

He hid his head under a cushion and asked me to tap him on the shoulder when the men had stopped screaming....he doesn't mind women screaming.....that's normal.....but the men screaming really scared him.

PS - 'Doctor Who' is a TV programme for children. But it is scary.....
Only those become weary of angling who bring nothing to it but the idea of catching fish.

He was born with the gift of laughter and a sense that the world is mad....

I was 11 years old when I watched my first horror movie ever - Scream. I watched it at a slumber party full of other 6th grade girls and we screamed through the entire movie until we were hoarse. I was completely and utterly miserable for weeks aftewards. I jumped every time the phone rang!

I really love this movie, but the book/novel is so much scarier. Especially with my imagination!
