It's funny how some things stay with you from childhood, such as habits, superstitions and scars. The ones that stand out the most in my mind are fears. As a child I was always so scared of three things: the dark, insects, and horror movies. As I got older I got less and less scared of those things, although I still prefer not to be in the dark or around bugs or watch scary movies. One silly thing that haunted me starting when I was a young teen has resurfaced now, though. When I was a young teen, even though I was absolutely scared of scary movies, I'd watch the silly slasher ones like Scream. (I've actually seen all three. lol) I'd only watch them because everyone at school did, and my brother loved to make me watch them. Anyway, in the movie 'I Still Know What You Did Last Summer', there was a scene that still bothers me to this day. After the killer is believed to be dead in the first movie, at the end of this sequel, the main character is sitting on her bed with her feet hanging off the edge, and the killer grabs her feet from under the bed and drags her under...and the screen goes black. And that was it! For some reason that scene has STILL stayed clear in my memory and if I am in a bedroom by myself at night, I will not sit on a bed with my feet on the floor without a wave of fear coming over me. Some nights I won't even walk close to my bed for fear of something grabbing me from underneath. If someone happens to be with me, then it won't bother me, and I also usually am able to talk myself out of being scared. But I mean..how silly am i? lol I know that nothing will be underneath the bed, so why be scared? But never say never, right? lol There COULD be a very, VERY small chance that that scene in the movie could be replicated in my life. Right? RIGHT? lol Who knows! It's just interesting to me how I've slightly outgrown my other fears, but this weird one comes back to haunt me every now and then.
