Danny visiting Mark is another of my fav scenes in Salem's Lot, although Ralphie going to Danny was the one that stayed with me the most :). It's just as creepy in the book too (I love that book).Tasha Duncan-Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12591239019422681163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918688759465977896.post-91841111113698049172013-05-15T03:53:03.611+01:002013-05-15T03:53:03.611+01:00The problem with monsters in the dark is they can&...The problem with monsters in the dark is they can't hide in the light, so your can't ever see them. I have to sleep with the door open since the AC blows it open if it doesn't latch well and I can't tell if it's wind or a monster opening it. <br />Another post I shouldn't have read this close to bedtime. <br />Enjoying Face of the Dead. Love stories that scare me at night!

Demonic spirits, aliens (the creepy abducting kind!) are two of the worst ones.

That movie hits my fear button in a way a lot of other things don't. It's so unsettling not knowing what may be lurking in the darkness or about to reveal itself. I love 'Salem's Lot'. The Glick brothers scratching at the windows are some of the best scenes in horror, in my opinion. :)Little Gothic Horrorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18315631250163742387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918688759465977896.post-70547762642633587082013-05-14T13:48:32.725+01:002013-05-14T13:48:32.725+01:00My desk is under a Velux window in our converted a...My desk is under a Velux window in our converted attic. I have the blind open during the day, but if I happen to check my email at night and look up I totally have to close the blind. It's utterly irrational, but then sometimes we can't help what our subconscious tells us.<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by again :)Tasha Duncan-Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12591239019422681163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918688759465977896.post-3450315514152498982013-05-14T13:45:25.527+01:002013-05-14T13:45:25.527+01:00I basically stay away from windows at night if at ...I basically stay away from windows at night if at all possible... I have always been terrified that someone is looking in. I don't know why I think I am that important i would be on the radar, but it is just a little (quite large actually) phobia of mine! Scary little post you have here!

Not thinking about back seats; I'm bad enough about driving in the dark as it is ::g::. <br /><br />I managed to give myself a complex by writing a short story about a small access hatch in the ceiling of a hotel room that nasty things came out of - now if a hotel room has an access hatch I have to pointedly ignore it.Tasha Duncan-Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12591239019422681163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918688759465977896.post-59004262164644229472013-05-14T06:13:51.718+01:002013-05-14T06:13:51.718+01:00Ugh I can't sleep with the blinds or curtains ...Ugh I can't sleep with the blinds or curtains open either. Doors also need to be closed completely, regardless of what they open into. I can't pinpoint the exactly moment or event that triggered it, but I'm sure it was something equally silly. I also have a hard time looking in my rear-view mirror in the dark in case I see something in my back seat!Luna Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14630183192676463896noreply@blogger.com
