So it’s freak out week and I have to say I fall right in line with my predecessors. Okay maybe not Maureen – I could handle Scooby. However, I can’t handle gore, serious blood or sick stuff.
Sinead it sounds like you’re going to have to be the brave one this week.
My fears make up a very simple 'don’t' list…
Don’t let your thirteen year old middle school friends tell you that Friday the 13th Part (fill in blank here) isn’t that scary… traumatized me for life.
Don’t watch one of those true crime specials on Jack the Ripper before going to bed at any age. Don’t know why it is but Jack the Ripper freaks me WAY out.
Don’t in your dreams accept a mission from God. Now I know this is a difficult one, God asks you to pony up and you think you can handle it. Trust me when I tell you He sends you on some dangerous stuff in your dreams. The one “nightmare” event I had – I was six. God needed me to steal something from the devil. I had to monkey bar my way over a pit of fire to extract a burning message. Now at six I thought I was the world champion of monkey bars… so I was like no problem G I got you covered. However, when the devil caught me hanging by my knees over said pit of fire… well I can’t remember the rest. Just a lot of screaming. It was the one and only time my parents had to come get me.
And finally… do I even need to list this? Isn’t this accepted throughout society? Do NOT watch Jaws before going in the water. I don’t care if it’s a pool, lake, ocean or bathtub. He’s still going to get you and eat you. It’s what he does. Right after the music starts to play…
Eileen good luck with your release. I’ve just put it on my next Amazon purchase. However based on Molly’s assessment I will be reading this during daylight hours!

Holy Cats - Steph - you dreamt in Bombshell at six!!!
Jaws - I totally agree. The community pool in my town had a huge drain - and for a year I only swam around the sides so if Jaws came I could get out fast. If we made a list of top ten scaries movie music themes...Jaws top of the list. Followed by Halloween - I still haven't seen that movie all the way through and it's because the music plays during the opening.
Nice nightmare! Please tell me you're working that into a book somewhere!
I heard you about Jaws. I've never watched it all the way through and I still have a bad moment each time we go to the ocean.
Isn't it funny... that dream has haunted me my whole life. I'm sure it was just age and scare factor but when Molly brought up dreams it all came right back!
If you haven't watched Jaws... don't. There is really no need. You'll never feel comfortable in the ocean.
That said my 28 year old nephew wants me to on safari with him to South Africa - I have a friend that lives there - and his plan is to take me shark diving.
You know with the big ones. While you're in the cage...
I'm thinking.... no
I can't believe I forgot the X-Files episode that Stephen King wrote! It was about an evil possessed doll. Scared the bejeesus out of me and I was in my mid-30s!
I saw Poltergeist when I was quiet young ( what were my parents thinking?), and I had nightmares for weeks. I have NEVER been able to see that movie again. I can't even look at anything related to it.
Argh. That's quite, not quiet. Where's the edit button!!
