After seeing the movie "Ernest Scared Stupid", my sister and I believed there were trolls living in our basement. So, just like in the movie, we went downstairs with cartons of milk in case we ran into a troll. (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, Ernest used milk to kill the trolls in the movie!)
