That moment, when you’re walking through your house at night, closing the windows so it doesn’t get too cold in the kid’s bedrooms. You reach up to slide the window closed and start to close the blinds. Then you have a sudden flashback to a horror movie you watched in childhood that left you terrified of ever sleeping with unlocked or open windows. Yes, Salem’s Lot flashed through my head. That scene, where the younger brother whose been turned into a vampire is hovering outside his older brother’s window, scratching the glass and asking him to let him inside. That scene flashed through my mind, quickly and unexpected. I paused for a moment, then reached up and flipped the latch to lock the window.

Thanks for posting (sarcasm). I read this RIGHT before going to bed. Wanda, you’re diabolical! Hope I can get some sleep tonight!

LOL! How do you think I feel! I didn’t ask for the vision, and now I will be having vampire nightmares, all night. Sweet dreams friend! 😉

After watching Candyman I refused to go into any room with mirrors. It wasn’t fun holding in my pee that night.

OMG! I remember that movie too! I saw it in college and I made my roommate walk with me to the communal bathrooms on the floor of our dorm because there were mirrors everywhere and I wouldn’t go in there alone. LOL!

Have you seen the movie, Rob? It’s one of the best horror movie/books ever. It came out in 1979, I think.

No, it was in the theatre. It was adapted from the Stephen King novel, Salem’s Lot.

Never saw it myself, but as I still check to make sure there aren’t sharks in any pool I step into, I think I may know the feeling…

LOL! Me too! My Mom was never very good at restricting age inappropriate movies when we were little and I’ve been suffering from Jaws trauma ever since. 😉

Jaws was by far the worst for me! Oddly enough, the other thing that terrified me as a kid was the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride at Disneyland. I had nightmares about the moray eels on that thing for years. Just thinking about it gives me the chills. Thanks, Disney!
