Three movies shaped my fears for a lifetime. "IT" made me get rid of all my porcelian dolls and clowns. To this day clowns still frighten me a little. A movie I can't remember the damn of which was about how if you die in your dreams you die in real life. The movie was called something like dreamscapes or something like that. So everytime i was chased in a dream or started dreaming anything unusual I would panic and wake myself up. The movie "carrie" I was like 5 years old and was supposed to be cleaning my room and NOT watching the movie my mom was in the livingroom. I happened to bend down by my bedroom door to pick up a toy and looked up and across the livingroom at the tv screen and carrie reached her hand out of her grave. Needless to say I screamed and hid under my bed. It took forever to get over it and for a long time I would not watch horror movies. I also was afraid of funerals and graveyards for fear someone would reach out and grab me.
