I used to believe that The Blair Witch Project was real. And those dolls that stood in the corner used to freak me out (and still do) because of the end of the movie.
I used to believe that actors come together to act out a movie, scene by scene, every time a new copy was to be made.

when i was about 6 years old, i loved playing NHL 94 on my sega genesis and since i never really knew how to play by the rules the referee would keep popping up on the screen calling penalties on me which i eventually found extremely annoying. so, one day i pulled out the nhl 94 cartridge and opened it up (unscewed the little screws on the back) and tried looking for the referee so i could take him out. unfortunately, all i found were wires :(

When I was a kid I would watch old black and white movies and thought that something happened around the 60s that made everything color. It wasn't until I asked my parents what it was like when the world went color that I learned the truth,

When I was a little kid there was a soap opera called "Search For Tomorrow" that was on in the afternoons. I remember seeing a commercial for it and wondering how people were supposed to watch it *now* since it wouldn't be on until tomorrow.......

I used to think that in reruns the actors were actual performing again. It never occurred to me to think why they never aged or anything.

Up until I was about 8, I used to think that the bands on the radio were waiting in a line outside the radio station to get their turn to play! Finally it clicked that would be impossible and I asked my Mom-she told me how radio worked. This was the 70's-I was naive!

When I was very little I was in love with the cartoon mouse "Dangermouse". I would put lipstick on and kiss the tv whenever the show was on. I thought he was real, and this would make him fall in love with me, come find me, and take me to his cartoon world where he lived. Eventually my parents made me stop (I think they were tired of cleaning lipstick off the TV all the time) and I got frustrated. How else was Dangermouse going to know about my feelings for him?!

When I was very young I was a fan of Sesame Street. However, I only liked the parts of the show with the muppets. I absolutely HATED the parts where they would show other little kids (I really have no idea why). When a part with other kids came on, I would run screaming away from the TV and into my bedroom and lock the door, because I believed that the kids would crawl out of the television and come and find me. I'm not sure exactly what I thought they would do, but I was terrified!

I used to believe, that people lived in the TV and that once you went in, you could never come out again, and also that our lives were one big TV show that giants watched and they could change channels and watch different families...

When I was very young, my grandmother used to watch "Unsolved Mysteries" with me, and I wouldn't be able to sleep at night because I thought the criminals were going to climb through my window and kill me.

when we were little, my sister and I would play on our parents' computer. The computer would crash a lot while running games, and an error message would appear with a bomb icon next to it. when my sister saw that she would run out of the room screaming, because she thought it meant the computer was about to explode.

When I was young, my parents believed that if you turned the vacuum cleaner on when it was next to the TV, it "would suck the color out of the TV". I really think they believed this. Of course, being a kid, I never turned the vacuum on near the TV.
