When were you last really scared?We'd been watching the Shining. We were staying in an old church building. In hindsight, taking the shortcut home after midnight, in the mist, through the old graveyard was a bad idea.
I'm not sure what started it, but suddenly all the hairs on my neck had gone up and I was crapping myself. It was almost as bad as when, after a few cups of coffee too many and buzzing on caffeine, I got freaked out by my own reflection in the toilets.
When were you last really scared?

Oh yeah and...one other thing stands out. I think I was about 14 and me and my pals had just discovered the three secrets of hash, hard liquor and loud music. Girls would come later - we were still on the 'nick some magnesium from the science labs and let's fuckin' burn it yeah!!!!' stage.
Anyway three of us were in my shed getting pissed and stoned like only 14-year-olds can. We'd put Nevermind on some time earlier and had it fed through my guitar amp so it was good and loud. The last track had finished some time ago and nobody noticed 'cos we were horsing around. Probably taking it in turns jumping off the table onto an air mattress and whooping or something, or shouting about how pissed we were.
Anyway, there's quite a menacing little secret track at the end of Nevermind that comes on about ten minutes after you think the album's finished. We didn't know about this and consequently shit ourselves, all screamed like girls and actually huddled up together, wild-eyed, for protection from this mystery death noise from nowhere. Brrrr...
