When I was younger not a lot scared me, but at night when I was trying to sleep, and I could hear my heart beating, I was convinced that the two bad guys from Home Alone were coming to get me. I also had an irrational fear of Mr. Bean and had recurring nightmares that he would drag me out of my bed and poke me in the eyes till I went blind.
