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?

Grandma's houseFirst of all - apologies for extreme lurkage.
Now, this was a few years back, not long after my Gran had passed away.
She had an oldish semi-detached house with much 1940's deco in it, dark wood furniture and all that, the bedrooms were quite creepy I remember.
I was dreaming, I was in her house just sitting in the living room with my parents.
I had ventured upstairs to use the bathroom.
After I'd finished I was just heading back downstairs but turned my head to see that my Gran's bedroom door was open.
I noticed through the slight crack in the door there was a small mound in the bed.
Walking slowly towards the bedroom it became more apparent that somebody was in the bed.
I walked in and turned to see my Grandma lying there, dead, with her mouth wide open and staring at me.
Think of what the dead people look like in The Ring and that was her face.
I woke up with the worst 'chills' running over my body for about half an hour. I still get those chills when I think about it now.
