That would give me nightmares, and I'm too old to be having nightmares. I hated that movie {because it scared me}.

Me TOO!

And I thought I'm one of few who don't like to watch movies like this.

I had enough nightmares as a child. They kind of turned me off the idea of being scared for fun. Looking back they were pretty high quality nightmares. Color or black&white as the mood dictated, cinematic, and sometimes composed of various scene cuts, building into a frozen-in-a-cold-sweat inducing climax.

Of course there was the normal monster under the bed or in the closet stuff; only the bed monster was flesh dissolving slime and the closet had vampires.

I shared a room with my sister when I was a child, so there was no reason to be afraid. (We both would have fighted against the monsters together. ) I rarely was watching movies like "Christine" as a child.

Dales? Typo or a cultural blind spot on my part?

Oops! Daleks!! Dr Who. Don't you just love auto correct. I'm not sure why at a young age I was watching that but it was probably not as graphic as all that but at my tender age too much for me

I understand completely. Most of my nightmares started as not all that scary movie and TV shows. Well, except for the slime monster. That was book.

Looking at road maps. I'm going on a road trip from the coast to southern alta and am looking for a different route that will keep me in the 15-20 C zone for as long as possible.I've down the Trans Canada so often and am going to switch things up a bit.

That's not a nice sight, especially when you're a child and don't understand what's going on.

It's horrifying, even if you're older.
My daughter had to watch a woman giving birth to a child when she was 17 or 18, I think. (At school.) Her first reaction: She told me she'd never get pregnant. (She changed her mind later.)

I thought she was dying!! I didn't have my kids until I was in my early twenties. No wonder lol
