when i was about 4 or 5 i watched this show called "are you afraid of the dark?" basically, it was a few kids telling ghost stories in front of a camp fire. well, on one particular episode, they told a story of a comic book villian who came to life. he was this evil jester guy and when he laughed, blue goo oozed out of his mouth. i thought it was fine until i went to bed that night. for some reason, i thought that this guy was hiding under my bed and no matter how i got out of my bed, he would get me. i laid there hugging my stuffed animal in hysterics until my parents came in and turned the light on. then i was fine but i never watched that episode the same.
