I used to sleep on the top bunk of a bunk bed when I was about 5 or 6. After seeing the "children’s" film ET I convinced myself that he was on the bottom bunk and if I ever looked down he would be there staring back.
It scared the crap out of me and never watched the film for years, which made it worse cos I couldn't remember what he looked like, so I imagined him as this really scary monster. I finally plucked up the courage to watch the film when I was 16!
I’m still not that keen on him!
