When I was around 5 years old, my parents went to the next door neighbors for the evening after putting me to bed. I snuck back out of bed and watched the "Trilogy of Terror" (Karen Black) in the television. The story with the little tiki doll so scared me, that until I was about 14 years old, I used to run and jump from the door onto my bed so it couldn't get me from under the bed. scary.
