Can you remember as a kid going to your bedroom on a Saturday night after having watched a horror movie?

You wanted to look under your bed just to check but you didn't have the nerve. So you made sure that the wardrobe door was closed and locked just in case. Then you like hopped into bed in case the "thing" hiding under your bed grabbed your leg.

Your lay in bed with your eyes like saucers ... hearing every creak ... seeing every shadow turn into the "thing."

Then when you couldn't take it any longer, you ran into your big sisters bedroom and asked her if you could sleep in her bed with her.

And she never ever said "No go back to your own bed."

Luv ya big sis! :-4

In Chicago during the school season, the sun would set early..around 4:30. After school, I would occasionally go to my best friends house to watch an old horror movie on TV. She lived on the next block fro me. There were two ways to get to her house. One was a short-cut through the alley, the other was a longer way down her street, walking a side street, and up on my street a little ways to my house. I truly enjoyed being with Kathy; watching TV, talking and laughing, and munching on a snack. Her mom was always there along with her little brother. Well, when it was time for me to go home it was dark, so I usually took the longer route. I do remember looking over my shoulder a few times and using a quicker pace, even though it was a neighborhood with houses and streetlights . :wah:



The alley-way at night is no place to be.

I wasn't allowed to watch horror movie's as a child but when I got to 15 years old, against being absolutely forbidden to, I went with some pals to see The Exorcist having lied about our age to get In.

I couldn't admit I had been to see It as my Father had forbidden me so I just had to suffer In silence.
