Monsters coming out of the toilet....
From the time I was 4 years old until I was about 15 years old I would dash for the door after flushing the toilet.
I was scarred for life after casually walking by the horror movie section and seeing the "Ghoulies" movie cover at a video store.
My trips to the batrhoom were NEVER the same. Talk about a stressful trip to the bathroom... and it's not like I could postpone going to the bathroom for a day or two.... noooo! I was the most regular kid around!
For a long time I never told anyone I was afraid, until one day my big sister asked " what's up with you and running out of the bathroom?" I reluctantly told her and to this day she remembers and laughs.
Now as a 27 year adult I can laugh at it, but still haven't watched the "Ghoulies" movie....
