There’s one thing that has stuck with me for more than a decade (probably). It was a very short youtube video. It was just a man and women in bed back to back. After a second it pans to the woman’s side of the bed and shes a scary looking monster demon lady. I think about it once or twice a week. Specifically when laying in bed with my lady and shes not facing me.I have no idea what its from. Youtube used to have alot of randomly terrifying content.
The film that scared me the most was ‘Paranormal Activity’. It was the simplicity and how it opened the door and let your imagination do the heavy lifting.
The scariest book I’ve read of late is ‘Incidents Around the House’. It put me in touch with the child version of myself that was afraid of everything.
Creepy movie! Haven’t read that book but I’ll probably end up looking into it, love horror media.
If, as a kid, you were scared of something under your bed or in your closet, it’s a good one.
I’m a big strong man now, I still get skeeved out by slightly open closets (all of the closets in my house are two folding door style, except my hall closets)
Same.
I can close a book and just verbalize myself that: “It’s literally just a story.” But books can get into one’s head. :)
