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.

Reading the posts about Watership Down......oh yeah. Been there alright :/
When it was out on the cinema, my mum heard about it - that is, she heard that a cartoon film about bunny rabbits was showing on the cinema and we were due to visit her that weekend. Ill-advised plans were made.
I think I was about 5 at the time, and that would make my brother 7. I think you can work out the rest for yourself - bunnies buying it in nasty ways, fields flooding with blood - Bedknobs and Broomsticks it most definitely wasn't. I remember my mum bollocking the ticket box person on our way out less than an hour into the movie - 'You saw me walk in here with two kids - why didn't you say something for god's sake? LOOK at them!'. We were in a state, it's true. We started to feel better after she got us an adult-size ice cream each though lol. My brother and I also enjoyed a brief period of playground kudos afterward as a result - it seems that everyone else's parents had checked a synopsis of the story before snapping up a family ticket, and so no-one else in school had been allowed to go see it.
I watched it again on TV when I was about 17 or so and quite enjoyed it - wasn't getting off on bunny-slaughter or anything, it's just a good story :)
