leia131First of all, I did not manage to post this before Castle, but I did manage to survive the episode in one piece. Still, IT WAS VERY STRESSFUL, OMG, THIS SHOW HAS REALLY EXCELLENT WRITERS.
Your childhood fears.
Oh man, this is a tough one. I was afraid of a multitude of things as a child, and I'm still afraid of most of them. For the most part, this is legit; I was exposed to some scary shit as a kid that has, literally, scarred me for life.
But what I'm going to go with here is ET, because the general consensus of everyone else on the planet (except Professor Bozzone, and this is one of the reasons I loved her) that that movie is not only not scary, but is a happy family film. I disagree.
I don't know, there is just something about that creepy little motherfucker than is deeply unsettling to me. I don't like his voice, I don't like the way he looks, I don't like the way he moves, and that one scene where he hides in the closet among the stuffed animals is downright terrifying.
My parents always used to tell me that when I got older, I would get over this fear of ET and watch the movie and laugh at myself, being like, "I was scared of this? LOL." Let me tell you, THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. We watched the movie in Spanish class Freshman year of high school, and my mom had to talk to the teacher about it because it was giving me nightmares. (I have a recurring one where ET is chasing me with a sledgehammer. I don't know where that came from, but it's scary, let me tell you what.) I just have a very negative reaction to ET, and I don't think it's ever going to go away. Not even hearing him say, "ET telefono mi casa," which is HILARIOUS, was enough to cure it.
I don't get that sick feeling in my stomach when I see ET anymore, but I still don't like him, and I'm still scared of him. I haven't even seen WALL-E because something about him reminds me of ET.
On the other hand, I also had nightmares for years about Ghostbusters. I both got over that and love those movies now, so maybe there is hope after all.
