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.

oh, and thisfor my friend's 11th birthday, she had a sleepover where we watched several movies in her conservatory. One of these movies was the ever-popular 'IT'.
As mentioned before, scary movies don't bother me now and didn't back then either, even if they do have scary clowns. But the others were crapping themselves, and I particularly noticed the girl next to me freezing up, even though she wasn't watching the screen. Then I became aware that everyone was very quiet, not moving, and staring at the door to the house. So, following their gaze, I saw a dark figure standing in the unlit doorway, not moving.
I'll admit, I was bloody terrified, until my logic chip kicked in. What was more likely? - an evil serial killer clown leaping into reality, or, as I suddenly realised, my friend's mum...
Way too good an opportunity to miss, I screamed: "Hello Mrs Smith*"
*my friend's mum's name, of course
Despite the obvious and innocuous statement, the pitch made all ten or so girls scream like idiots, until they realised what I'd actually said.
Good times.
