What do you do when you have to walk past a little person when you are out or god forbid being served by one when shopping?


I put my girlfriend between me and them to act as a barrier. Or i pretend i didn't see them and hope they will go away. Both of these defensive manouvers have worked to this day, however I don't know how much longer i have until they can figure out how to get me.

The Sound of Music.......I mean what is freakier than the Hills are alive with the sound of music :sarcasm::crazy:


But without trying to show my age....this movie I watched in the 70's with my parents I think was called Cats.....the Cat's killed everyone and I had nightmares for months afterwards.....still hate cats to this day!
Alien was pretty scary as a kid in the cinema too, sat there with my feet up off the ground the whole movie!

what do you do when you're on the dancefloor and a "little person" who was dancing inside your circle gets lost and your mate yells out "WHERE THE f**kS THE MIDGET GONE?" and he's right there?

In Ghostbusters, the bath tub scene. Absolutely ruined bath time for me as a kid.

And 'The Fly'. Just the fact that he was a giant fly.

I think it was called strays.

Jaws scared me (and others) when I was a kid. Halloween was another one and People Under the Stairs gave me nightmares for a while.

Also, parts of American Werewolf in London scared me but now I crack up laughing when I watch that movie.

A lot of people say Jeepers Creepers but I've never seen it.

For anyone who was a kid at the time of Jaws release, did it have an affect on the numbers at the beach or more specifcally going for a swim in the sea?

And did you stop going swimming in the sea for a while?

Stopped me for a while and even today I keep a lookout for sharks whenever I'm in the water. Damn you Senor Speilbergo!

"The Witches". The film version of Roal Dahl's legendary book.

Don't tell me that the bald witches, with their evil eyes, long noses and long nails didn't scare the sh*t out of every young kid.
