What were you afraid of as a kid?

Personally "IT" made me scared of going to the bathroom at midnight.I remember being scared of loud noises in the dark. I didn't mind the dark. In fact, I liked, and still prefer, the dark. But loud noises in the house when it was silent (such as the toilet flushing) creeped me out as a kid, and I'd to my bed and cover myself with a blanket.I was scared of the dark and used to think ghosts would come and get me

I was afraid of Father Christmas - an old man with a long beard who came in during the night, through the window or down the chimney.. the idea of that horrified me.

I was afraid of the dark. Some songs were scary to me as well like Dead Man's Curve and the Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde. Then of course there were the scary movies at the drive-in theatre. Always good for a nightmare or two. As graphic as horror movies are today compared to when I was a kid, it's a wonder kids aren't scared sh*tless at bedtime. Great topic, Freemocy.

I used to watch horror films with my brother - they made me afraid of the dark, esp the vampire films - I remember being scared of Micheal Jackson's Zombie character, after seeing the Thriller video.

I hated clowns after seeing Stephen King's IT.

oh,watching horror films meant having no shut eye at bedtime .Of course being obsessed with hallucinations that ghosts would get me
