One time I was spooked while seeing the movie Disturbia in theaters on Friday the 13th. It is not that the movie was particularly scary but the atmosphere of being Friday the 13th did give it a little more spookiness. The other time I was spooked was the last time I read an Edgar Allan Poe poem. I guess it was not as spookier as it was startling and I strongly believe that there has to have been something wrong with that man to be able to stand writing about sadness and death as much as he did. Another time I was spooked is when I was about ten years old and my brother and I were trying to pick a movie to watch while the parental figures were out of the house for a while. He decided on Dawn of the Dead and informed me that it was not a scary movie. Lets just say that I slept on the floor of my parents' bedroom for a week. But i do not think that it can measure up to the first time my brother made me sit down and watch Saw with him. Actually i think that my brother caused the part of my childhood in which I was afraid. Watching that Saw movie though did not just effect me and I think that it effected him even more, because I had a kid in high school sleeping in my Winnie the Pooh themed bedroom. I guess I have not had any serious scares like someone breaking into our house or someone I know being kidnapped or murdered so I am really lucky that way. I know a lot of people who have been at least robbed and it is a really scary thing to think about. There was that part of my childhood where I also thought that I heard something downstairs and I thought someone was coming to get me so I would sleep with my jr. Swiss Army knife sometimes. This all happened when I was very young and I am glad that this is not still continuing.
