I used to believe that the Wolf Man and Dracula and Frankenstein lived in the hills (aka the 'badlands') on the way to visit my relatives. I would get so scared driving through there - especially since it was usually late at night.
I guess I probably believed that because my older brother and sister told me that every time we drove through there.
