Big Foot
When I was a lad, I used to share a bedroom with my two brothers. At the time, the most favoured TV series in our house was the Six Million Dollar Man, with Lee Majors and one of the recurring themes was Big Foot (god know why, thinking about it now). There were many scenes where Big foot walked through what can only be described as a kaleidoscopic, psychedelic rotating light tunnel into his secret base or something. And every step he took sent out a resounding “boom boom” noise.
I used to wait until my brother was almost asleep and then start breathing loud and deep, before emulating the inevitable “boom boom” noises. I even livened the nightmare up by shining a torch I had against his side of the bedroom. One of those torches that you could clip various satanic-like faces on to.
I still feel the stifling guilt thirty years later, seeing a terrified five year old brother screaming against the wall whilst I made Big Foot impressions…
He brought it up a while ago. I don’t think I scarred him for life or anything as he finds it funny now!
Shit, was a really such a bastard as a kid?
