I kinda grew up with horror movies so no movie in particular really scared me, i was just drawn to liking them ya know.

I was beat up alot by jocks and the so called normal "in" crowd in my younger days, so i was kinda afraid of those type of people for awhile.
This kinda relates to Mirth's candyman story, well one time they met me after school and were all acting all friendly like so i new something was up. They were walking me down my street and were talking about the old Bloody Mary Urban Legend (the one where she died and if you say her name 5 times yada yada), well we came up to this house that was being built on my street. It was pretty much just boards and some drywall. Well they said they were all going in to explore and i was gonna get it if i didnt go with them so since we were by my house anyway i decided to comply. As i walked up towards the house they pushed me into what would be the garage and locked the door, and just as all the light went out as the door shut i saw that they had(although i didnt know THEY had done it back then) spray painted BLOODY MARY on the floor of the garage. Then it was pitch black, my friend eventually came to help me out but it was a pretty traumatic hour or so in complete darkness to a 10-11 year old.

Horror movies and dark music were always kinda my sanctuary away from bullshit like that when i was growing up.

When I was about 5 or so I used to have a dream ALL the time that I was being chased by Dracula, Werewolf , Frankenstien and the Mummy ( there was a whole group of monster/creature chasing me but thats all I could see). I would be running and running and running. Looking back screaming and all them with there arms up making all sorts of ghoulish sounds. I would run and run and run then I would fall off a cliff and wake up.

I used to be so scared to fall alseep that I used to rap myself with the covers because I was afraid that one of them would reach into the covers from underneath my bed and pull me out. I also thought that they were in my closet. I used to get so scared that I would make a mad dash to my sister's room and sleep with her.

Used to live on a corner house and there was a street lamp there that would light part of my bedroom. This was back in the late 70's back then streets weren't really lit up like they are now. Well anyway while laying there I saw Frankenstein in the corner of my room. I screamed for my parents while my eyes were locked on him and they just said for me to go to sleep. They never came to my room. Well evently I finally went to sleep and when I woke up he was gone. He looked so real that to this day I still swear that he was there.

one time on halloween my brother and a couple of friends of mine were looking for some punk kuds that egged his car......they were like 5 years younger but eggs sux on cars.....anyway we found them and duct taped them to a couple of trees and left them there all night ....we were in masks so no one found out but they got what they deserved

i think it ended up costing him like 500 dollars for a new paintjob

Theres this guy with a hand puppet and he gets killed by a spider woman or something and I think his body deflates like a balloon when she bites him... can't remember but that shot of him deflating was cool... I mean it stuck in my mind and to this day I dream about people deflating when I touch them and stuff... its cool.
The Spookies...kick ass. Did you notice that the hand puppet guy had a picture of himself on his shirt?

The movie's that scared me the most was Freddy Kruger.

I remember when I was younger I was in the house watching TV and this marathon was coming on the Scifi channel, I think, it was Freddy movies. Anyways, I was young and not allowed to watch that type of stuff, but I did anyways. My dad was at the Shop beside the house working and I would sneak views from the movies (I was supposed to be outside playing). I remember the scenes of the lady getting thrown around in her sleep getting cut up, the girl being dragged down the school halls,.. I had nightmares for weeks. I ended up giving myself "cold-fears" (i was so scared I got a sick cold feeling)

But, this is in the past now. I was very young back then and now I love Freddy, he is the coolest.

Kind of like enemy's becoming your best friend type of deal.

I First watched Nightmare 1 when i was 4, my baby-sitter fell asleep and i put the wrong video in the box ''accidently'' after that i was always watching it, even though i had nightmare after nightmare and not even being able to walk down the stairs by myself unless there was a light on and my mum was behind me!

I was like that for a while until i was about 8!

Then it took me another 4 years to find somewhere i could buy the video from!

Now i have all the Nightmares!! :D
