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?

GhostwatchI mean really scared, my younger cousin and I watched it whilst our 2 sets of parents were at the pub. To give context, we had been told "Do not watch this, you will make yourselves frightened and we won't be back til midnight" and my house was opposite the graveyard and the back door was unlocked.
We kept doing that bravura thing where you repeatedly say "No I'm not scared, are you scared?" until it was apparent that we were pooing our pants as we were sat on an armchair together with the dog going "oh my God".
The camera pans back across a childs bedroom where the child has msteriously been covered with scratches and there in the background is Mr Pipes. At this point my cousin starts crying I start screaming and the dog starts barking his head off.
I had to ring my sister at work in different pub and get her to come over, she sent her flat mate who came in through the back of the house causing us to start the crying / screaming /barking thing again.
I was 15, my cousin was 12. My sisters flatmate made us watch it til the end, whilst giving me cigarettes so we could see that they were actors.
I have never trusted Craig Charles or Sarah Greene since. Parky I have forgiven.
